There was no contract. Certainly there was an agreement in principle to fight, however, it's clear that Stevenson's side didn't agree to ALL the terms involved. Namely, agreeing to lock themselves into a Kovalev fight without being able to consider all offers. That's called being smart - and it paid off for Stevenson seeing as he got a better deal. Duva and co don't have a signed contract which means they don't have a case. I doubt that Duva's complaint ever sees the light of day in a court of law...
P4P is an opinion, just like Mr Boones assessment. The difference being lots and lots of people are of the opinion that Ward is P4P #2. Get back at me when Kovalev is done Krushing TOMATO CANs...
It's not quite so clear. Main Events claim all terms were agreed to and the fight was agreed to -- a judge will have to decide who is telling the truth. In business and in courts it does not take a signed contract to be enforceable. Even verbal agreements hold up in court, provided there is a credible witness or witnesses, and can compel a party into an action by court order. If someone verbally agrees to repay a loan or to perform an action for money and fails to do so, a court can remedy this breech of verbal "contract". Emails (i.e. proof) of both sides agreeing on terms, if credible, may be treated as a contract and may be enforceable as a contract. We shall see. I doubt Main Events will push it to court, even if they have a case. Should a court compels the fight, It could still be scuttled. Adonis could fake an injury, for example... Anyway, hopefully Main Events can willing get Adonis or Pascal in the ring, as they are trying to do. My original point was that they are not just feeding him cans. They are and have been trying to get big names to fight him, but apparently Kovalev doesn't have the ratings to meet people's money demands.
You gotta realize he was a nobody himself 15 months ago, and in the mean time crushed a beltholder, a should be champ, and couple of fringe contenders. He wants Champ Stevenson yesterday. That's not being moved slow.
You're a stupid ******, you and you're other alt. Krushing cans? Kovalev in 24 fights has KO'd impressively two world title holders and chased yo boi to another inferior network where he'll be lucky to see 1/3 of his purse. You mad because andre ward, bernard hopkins and now adonis stevenson have all officially ducked the white boy? huh tyrone? I'm sure you're still fuming over Calzaghe butt fu.cking yo boi hops in the middle of the ring and then taking a wide UD as the away fighter.:hi:
Great thread and I agree with you 100 percent. The same people like FARMBOXER that hypes Kovalev bashes Wilder and the reason is skin color. Kovalev has fought bums just like Wilder has. But Kovalev is white so he gets the hype. Kovalev is fun to watch just like Wilder is but lets be honest both of them are not tested and both has been floored with head gear on. Sad we have so many racist on this forum.
See people like this guy is what I'm talking about. We all know he means black when he says ******. At least this fool does not deny is racist views like farmboxer does.
I don't think Kov is some p4p talent, but that comparison is dumb as a rock. Wilder is getting flack for a hugely protected record. Kovalev is not protected at all. He was a total no name 15 months ago, beat a couple of top tenners and a few top 20, and has been calling out the champ, who ran to another network. Where do you see similarities, WTF?
Sad we have at least one self hating, White, Christian ******* with a mail order Bride on this forum who gives all his money to Isreal and Africa.
Yeah but you have to admit Kovalev has not been in any risky fights. They both have had there glass jaws exposed with headgear on. They both have serious punching power. Ranking wise you are right maybe Kovalev has fought higher ranked fighters. But fact is they both seem to have glass jaws waiting to be exposed.
I hate to spoil your day but I'm half black. And my wife is probably more pail than your white racist ass.
