Please

Kovalev is the one getting KTFO if he ever fights Stevenson.

Hopkins chose to fight Kovalev for LESS instead of fighting Stevenson...because he knew Sergey was the EASIER 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
Haymon Bantamweight Leo Santa Cruz makes more than Kovalev.

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.
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.
