    HBO don't want him. They withdrew from the purse bids. Silly sausage!

    Stevenson was offered 50-50 fight on HBO with a 2 $ mil guarantee for all the belts.
    He said no.

    The fair thing to do was enter purse bidding and whoever won got to host the fight on their network.

    HBO said NO

    That is all you need to know about the situation.

    Are you saying that offer was not fair to Stevenson?

    2m for half of a big PPV event is selling Superman short .

    And his handlers aren't gonna just pass him over to HBO for nothin.

    The purse bids was there to settle for the highest bidder. Only one Kamp pulled out before it was to take place.

    And that's the end of it right there. Adonis knows that if Kovalev were to fight on Showtime it breaches his contract and he gets in trouble and probably kicked off HBO. Adonis is not bound to any network so he can fight anywhere. Haymon is the guy blocking the fight! But Adonis asking Kovalev to breach his contract and fight on Showtime is rubbish. Fugg Adonis he is almost 40 years old anyway.:verysad

    I think Kovalev wins based on Wards last fight

    My prediction is that Ward will face Lil Sis' as an easy tune up and it will backfire badly :yep

    Just watched Kovalev-Pascal 2 again. Damn Kovalev is brutal, Pascal is one tough SOB too, no way can Ward take that much punishment.

    Somehow I missed the post fight where Kovalev was making chicken noises at Adonis haha. Adonis looked so fake in his reaction, I was literally laughing so hard I think I scared my two year old. Haha

    I must have been drunk the first time because I don't remember the jab that knocked Pascal down..

    What was the ref looking at? Clear knockdown. Kovalev's power is something else.. I really think it will be the difference maker vs Ward.

    Catching pascal with those shots and catching ward with them are two completely different animals
