The details should be in the Kovalev Pascal thread...but I believe it was...
The fight had to be in Philly...Hopkins was asking for a crazy purse (accepted less for Kovalev)...N Bhop was trying to get paid twice once as a fighter N again as lead Promoter
Meanwhile Hopkins was paranoid he wasn't getting what he wanted because Haymon wanted Bhop to be forced to Vacate so Haymon can get Williams the Vacant
If true (I don't remember), then B-Hop must've dipped back in his diva bag from the RJJ saga, and no wonder the Stevenson/Hopkins could never get the fight signed
