    Nah he's more likely to cash out Stevenson on Beterbiev since he controls him. Beterbiev will also likely have a belt by that time too since Kovalev will be stripped after Duva ducks another purse bid.

    I'm wondering that too, what will HBO do when Beter becomes IBF/WBA mando? Drop the belt?

    And Stevenson-Beterbiev is not a money fight at all, why would Haymon do that? Haymon should do Stevenson-Fonfara II then winner fights Kovalev, by that time Beterbiev hype will pick up.

    Because it's always preferable to cash out a guy you control for a guy you control. And Kovalev-Stevenson isn't necessarily a money fight either if HBO gets to air it on their own terms without having to outbid anyone else. Hershman has gone on record that he's not particularly interested in it now, and the total the network was willing to put forward last year was reportedly no greater than Ward-Rodriguez.

    Kovalev needs new material. Classy comment from Stevenson was a better retort.

    Or whomever was managing Stevensons account. Assuming he can even read and write his handlers keep him far away from social media.

    Stevenson had his chance to fight Kovalev on HBO, but ran to Showtime, then out priced himself for a fight with Hopkins. Stevenson did call out SOB Ward, but Ward would not even respond............Kovalev will knock Stevenson out.................

    I cant see why anyone can hate a guy like Kovalev?

    Hes probably the most entertaining and most dangerous man in the sport.

    Hes beaten every style placed in front of him and is clearing out his division.

    To me, hes doing everything you can ask from a champion.
