Comments Thread For: Stevenson's Promoter Explains Efforts To Make Kovalev Fight

[IMDAZED]

I did which is why I asked the question.

Your post makes no sense in comparison to why the fight isn't happening

Oh it does.

[HeroBando]

How do you know?

What numbers are articles do you have to back this claim up?

BTW, this fight has had plenty of chances of happening with Haymon and Team Stevenson being on board. Guess what? Duva walked away twice

At some point you should ask yourself, WTF is Kovalev and GGG still signing these exclusive contracts with HBO when PBC/Haymon has the better roster of fighters who are making the more $$ on average.

Lol this guy looking for hard evidence again. Hey dummy, there's been what, 2 joint promotions ever for the biggest fight in boxing. This is not even a Ppv. It's not hard

1. Kovalev non draw
2. Stevenson weak draw at home in boxing mecca Montreal. Non champs Bute and Pascal smoke him at the gate
3. Pathetic ratings for Stevenson since leaving HBO.

ok.............

Because Showtime, no different that what HBO has done, also invested money/time in Adonis Stevenson.

Showtime inquired about participating; if HBO was unwilling to share in the actual PPV take, why couldn't the replay of the PPV be offered to Showtime? Michel wasn't demanding that SHO be involved; he just wanted to see if the broadcaster, who backed Stevenson, could still get a piece of the biggest fight that Adonis Stevenson is likely to have.

They made a bad investment in Stevenson, see ratings. That's why his last fight was on Spike, with bad ratings again. Such loyalty

Kovalev fought Hopkins & Pascal. Stevenson has not secured a fight with Kovalev, Hopkins, or Pascal. That tells you everything you need to know. His boss's attempts to monopolize boxing has done just the opposite, & left him on the outside looking in.

Why the name calling? How old are you?

If you can defend GGG vs Lemieux PPV, which I'm sure you did, without a shadow of a doubt, Stevenon - Kov does more PPV's than GGG-Lem.

Stevenson is not a weak draw at home.

BTW, Duva, HBO, MGM all agreed to make this event PPV. What they couldn't agree on was to share the broadcast with Showtime.

It's a PPV.

Why you continue to use illogical rationale to dismiss some of the best fights in boxing is beyond me. Maybe it's time to you find another sport.

You can go to WWE and get on one of their forums and do what you do here all day. Stay away from the rest of us who want the best fights in boxing.

Duva did everything right to make this fight possible, and has spent every moment since destroying it. Damn her to all the possible hells, and damn Kovalev if he doesn't step the **** up and make her stop.

Whatever Stevenson did in the past to stop this fight, Kovalev's side has done even more now.

You think this should be a joint ppv?!

It's cause you just won't stop with these dumb posts. I let it go dozens of times, at some point you gotta call it like it is

Why would this do better than those 2? Stars sell Ppvs. Neither guy is near the star Ggg is. And yes, Stevenson is a poor draw for Canada's only champ

GGG is NOT a star selling 97k PPV's or however many he sold.

THAT was a MASSIVE failure.

The other massive failure is you who call anyone that challenges the status quo of failed fights in boxing "dumb".

The only one that advocates the best fights not happening in boxing is you. Why don't you take this crap over to the WWE forum?

Kovalev fought Hopkins & Pascal. Stevenson has not secured a fight with Kovalev, Hopkins, or Pascal. That tells you everything you need to know

Despite the spin attempt by Stevenson and his manager/promoter, the facts above are the big picture.
