You'll believe anything, chickenson never wanted any part of kovalev, been proven year after year after year
Who's at fault for negotiations collapsing is one thing, but there is zero chance Kov is scared of Stevenson.
Kovalev is a bigger star, he should get more money. Canelo wouldn't take a 50/50 from GGG. Stevenson knows the truth.
Stevenson ran to Showtime to get PAID.He ran away from shi.tty paychecks. Kovalev stayed with HBO for peanuts.:deal Stevenson is where Kovalev wishes he was...with Al Haymon:hi: Leo Santa Cruz is cashing bigger checks than Kovalev...and he's bantamweight Showtime/Al Haymon > HBO/Duva TR GBP
The problem has never been the fighters. No one's ducking the other. Kovalev's with HBO and Stevenson's with Showtime. The 50-50 purse has always been agreed by both fighters. HBO simply doesn't want to share the coverage with Showtime and that's why it unfortunately just won't happen...unless HBO changes its mind.

Kovalev is not the bigger draw. Kovalev wasn't even the bigger draw against Pascal...that's why he had his broke as.s in Canada last night. The fans last night were THERE TO SEE JEAN PASCAL :deal Stevenson packs the house in Canada everytime he fights.HE is the draw. Kovalev isn't packing houses anywhere in the US or Canada.
