Boxing is all about the TV money nowadays. Kovalev is a terrific fighter and he's a puncher. A mismatch in Vegas in July won't put asses in the seat, but Kovalev certainly has star potential.
Duva promotes boxing "the right way" unlike leeches like Shaw and DiBella who only want a site and TV fee.
Steve Kim and his cronies in the media for years pretended Main Events was somehow superior in terms of building up fighters to other small promoters, who were characterized as merely searching out site fees and TV dates. Yet this card certainly makes it look like Main Events deserves that criticism as much as anyone else.
We get it you don't like Kovalev because he beat the **** out of an old Hopkins, let it go he's a great fighter and he's very aggressive.
Right, we've established Boxing_master can't stand slick defensively orientated fighters, typically hard to beat ones and more or less any black fighter, MVC is his split personality who doesn't like many aggressive fighters and gravitates toward the two unbeaten ones in Ward and Floyd almost religiously, he rarely criticizes black fighters too. Now look at BM obsessed with the offensive geniuses, most notably Golovkin and Pacquiao... they are literally the same twisted headcase They just can't see the same traits in one another.
