Are you just being dense or what? Duva has not been straight up with any of this. If you claim that you want a fight and would like to be made the mandatory challenger, as a professional fight promoter, you understand what that entails. Don't call someone out, beg for the fight, and when the time comes to accept a contract with the terms you laid out initially, back out, sighting a need to create new terms. This is blatant. I have no dog in the fight, and barely post in this forum, though I lurk all the time. I just had to respond to the question you posted because it had me like

Im not dense, I just see things differently... Now before Adonis signed to Haymon and all the peices were in place for a fight between him and Krusher, Adonis was talking bout he rather fight Bhop and went with Haymon to Showtime..What?

Now Kovalev is an HBO fighter exclusive.. Haymon fighters are "free agents" and can fight on any network so I fail to see what the real hold up is.. I just see more excuses

2x...and defending
Promoter's make boxing so frustrating. Wouldn't doubt Duva is playing hardball because she filed a lawsuit over the verbal agreement from Stevenson's camp to fight Kovalev when he was with HBO.
PBC will back its fighters hard, so Duva knows Haymon will outbid her and take control of the event.
We know Kovalev will take the fight...and although Stevenson has played some games, if the economics and location (Canada) were right, he would take the fight as well.
This is why I am becoming more and more a fan of what PBC is all about. Any fight can be made. No promoters to get in the way. If a fighter doesn't take a fight, then you know it was the fighter who didn't want it (unless a belt organization gets in the way).

Kovalev was also a free agent that was the whole reason to speed up the purse bid so there would be no obstacles... Yet Duva signed him with HBO again
Read the letters...with errything its well see who gives us the most money N well choose.... But then its well its gotta be HBO...GYM is saying other Networks will give us a better deal we will fight on HBO if you can prove its the best deal
Team Kovalev is saying HBO or no fight
The c*nt asked for Kovalev to be mandatory...knew they wouldn't bid the most money so tried to hide behind HBO...GYM called they bluff N said well fight on HBO as long as the money is right N Duva can't come up with the receipts

Duva and Kovalev are loyal to HBO(the network that invested an helped build Kovalev to what he is today), so now because of that were giving Stevenson, who's still a free agent, an excuse to duck Kovalev?? All because another channel may offer more money??
you gotta have loyalty in this business..Floyd is loyal to MGM only, and wont even give another venue an opportunity to outbid them.. but nobody says anything about that, because its Floyd..

If I was Kovalev this retarded stank c*nt Duva would be in the bushes right now...
She clearly has no clue what she's doing...
@ begging for the fight, get the fight, lay out terms, agree to those terms and then back out claiming new terms are needed...
