    This fight has been building for years, and Stevensons ship jump to avoid the fight its damn clear he wants no part of the Krusher, still to this day.

    I'm sick of it, get your ass in the ring and get Krushed.

    Not have the demand of "it has to be on HBO, it has to be in the USA" and have Duva not pull out of Purse Bids. if he does agreed to fight Stevenson in canada and hbo and it stil falls through then nothing can make it happen.


    They were in Talks with Stevenson camp not long ago and Duva said she would only do it in HBO so if that's the case it wont happen.

    I think the fight deserves 50/50 on an equal % split. Stevenson doesn't call the shots anymore. This fight has to happen on neutral grounds.

    it would make by far more money in Quebec. and haymon and HBO likely don't work together. so tell stevenson to drop the guy that made him a multi millionaire? this should be a ppv fight. just do it on showtime.

    If team Kovalev wants it so badly, they'd make a compromise.
    50-50 in Montreal nueteral judges on Showtime. then it's done

    this fight hasnt been Building. when kovalev came on the Scene, he basically said: hey bitches, this is my devision now.
    Stevenson simply said: okay champ. you call the shots. your the pimp, im your *****. you rule, i´ll live off the leftovers you dont eat anymore. no Need for a confrontation.

    and thats the way it s been ever since.

    Kovalev doesn't have to fight in quebec, the fight can do big numbers on neutral grounds. It is a PPV fight but Stevenson needs to wake up and smell the roses.

    Nah.. This fight is still in high demand, and rightfully so.. Its still the number 1 and number 2 guys in the division, given Wards retirement and it must happen.

    not a PPV fight anymore.. Kov is still a wounded animal of sorts until he gets in a war again. this fight tonight didnt show us anything despite all the hypebeasts saying he's back. Fight a Barrera or Alvarez and show well and ill give it some credence..

    If that's how Kovalev wants it then thats why he isn't getting the fight he wants.
    Ward vs Kovalev one and 2 were flops, they should Just do it in Quebec, kovalev has fought in quebec before vs pascal to massive sell out crowds more people than vs Ward. ticket prices are much more in quebec so thats more gate. Stevenson fought bums infront of 14k a couple years ago. now it's more like 9-10 but vs kovalev tey could sell out olympic stadium...

    I'll be honest Kovalev wouldn't even be Booed in Quebec. it would be neutral from fans even in Stevenson backyard.

    Stevenson number two? come on, maybe a couple of years ago. beterbiev, bivol, gvodzdyk,....hell even Marcus Brown and eleider Alvarez would kick his Little haitian ass.
