Comments Thread For: Duva Responds, Still Hopeful For Kovalev vs. Stevenson

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In the spirit of optimism, you can take the continued exchanging of letters between promoters Kathy Duva and Yvon Michel as a sign that there’s a chance of salvaging hope for their two light heavyweight thoroughbreds to eventually meet.

A purse bid was due to take place on Friday to determine who would win the right to promote the ordered showdown between World light heavyweight king Adonis Stevenson and unbeaten three-belt titlist Sergey Kovalev. Duva’s Main Events produced jaw dropping news on Tuesday when announcing that their side was withdrawing from the session.

The news came as a shock, considering the fact that Kovalev and Main Events had spent more than a year chasing and belittling—and at one point even having filed a lawsuit against—Stevenson and his team. This time around, it was time for Main Events to perform the walk of shame, though gloating wasn’t at the top of Michel’s list of ways to handle the situation.

Stevenson wants to cash out and he needs Kovalev to do it. I can see him going over to HBO for this fight. Unless by some strange miracle Chavez Jr gets by Fonfara.

So Duva backs out of a purse bid and blames GYM & Haymon for it... typical.

[Mr.Daddy]

Yes, Fonfara could very well beat Chavez Jr., and then what? Pretend that Chavez Jr. still merits a championship bout? I for one will not be upset if Stevenson has to fight Fanfare again. I'd love to see which fighter improved and how much.

After that lame ass Rubles/Dollar excuse, I don't really care what she has to say.
She screwed her fighter over and wouldn't be surprised if he ditches them first chance.
They might've done that for survival, but he's the only thing of value they have and they're nothing if he's gone.

Their next big fighter is Glazkov and he's trash

[Cinci Champ]

lol this right here is example number 1 that ducking is too quickly used

[Sugar Adam Ali]

This fight isn't happening anytime soon...

Adonis vs chavez over the summer would bring monster ratings for PBC, especially of chavez looks good beating fonfara..

Kovolev will be stranded on hbo with no good fights to make...

[megas30]

The more she speaks i am realizing hbo is behind this.

She said it's difficult to make a bid because the dollar value and Russian dollar fluctuates
