    Stevenson has no official TV contract, so what's the problem for him fighting only on HBO for that fight ?

    The same problem Kovalev had when he didn't have an official HBO contract and could have fought Stevenson on Showtime...

    Adonis ducked Hopkins also. When GBP was having their love affair with Showtime.

    The problem NOW is that Kovalev's side doesn't want the fight. Proof of this is the FACT that they pulled out of the purse bid...

    Not really, I don't see the fight getting more than 250-300k ppv buys. If you have to split it in two, that's not much.

    Kovalev would be overwhelmingly favored to win, and for good reason.

    It's not as big but both should still make money from it either way it will be a hard time getting either promotional groups To give up the fight so joint seems the fairest way to go
