If he does not fight Sergey Kovalev before the year's end.
im sure the fight will happen after they each have their next fight. they have already talked about it and i cant see any road block. kovalev already agreed to a 50/50 split which is generous IMO.
Agree 100%.Quote:

I think the alphabet boys have mandated Kov and Stevenson fight soon and I hope they fight by the end of the year.
I hope so. But the alphabet boys have mandated fights before and guys gave up. In that event, any fight that comes up as a result of a duck by Stevenson, Kov should have first crack at the title. Fuck Stevenson. The people NEED a champion!Quote:

I believe Rhonda Roussey should be stripped. Just for my own little fantasy.
Not with those big manly muscles she has inherited..Quote:

Kovalev made only 500K fighting Hopkins....Leo Santa Cruz made 750K fighting a guy nobody ever heard of...and he's a bantamweight.

So easy that he lost every round. :rolleyes:Quote:

Hopkins felt Kovalev was less danger...that's why he fought him for LESS.Quote:

Losing every round is better than getting put to sleep....especially at his age.
Hopkins could have made way more fighting Stevenson in Canada;D
I think it is almost impossible to knock out Hopkins and I think he would have won more rounds against Stevenson.Quote:

At least you said "I think it is almost impossible to knock out Hopkins".Quote:

Hopkins saw Stevenson as the bigger threat..that's why he chose Kovelev for LESS.
He saw Kovalev as the more winnable fight.
Yes because a share holder in Gbp promotions was going to bend over backwards running after a just signed Al Haymon fighter who was perceived as opting out of a building super fight. So, Hopkins thought Kovalev was easy money and rode the momentum Stevenson walked away from frankly. Adonis got clowned. How'd that EASY assessment of Kovalev work out???Quote:

Haymon Bantamweight Leo Santa Cruz makes more than Kovalev.Quote:

Kovalev is getting clowned..he's low wage labor.
Stevenson is getting PAID.
Gatta say, Haymon get's his fighters more money than the normal. The only one that beats out Haymon in the pocket book is Arum, and some times Golden Boy.Quote:

Kovalev will get bigger money. He is taking chances, beating top fighters, unifying titles and becoming a household name. Stevenson will get beat when they meet.
Haymon gets himself paid, make no mistake that is the only thing he cares about. Kovalev is beating up a legend and top contenders to clearly bigger things. Hopkins was about investment and a statement. Haymon will keep Santa Cruz wallowing in mediocrity facing guys of little interest with zero interest in making big immediate fights. I like Santa Cruz but he has the style of a short shelf life and it started to show last fight out. Slow and lethargic there, jumping up a division with already little power. Stevenson will make good coin today, but has nothing to gain and all to lose facing a guy not even ranked in his division.Quote:
