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:heh:

Dammit, this is gonna make it harder to get my money back :snoop:

I went to the site I purchased the ticket at to see their refunding policies. You get a full refund if the event was cancelled. But in this case the event wasn't cancelled, just the main event :snoop:

I'm still gonna fight it though. Because the main reason I purchased the ticket was for the main event. My ticket clearly says Thurman vs Porter on it, and we're not getting that fight. Technically, that's false advertisement :beli:

I'll see how well my argument holds up :patrice:

good luck breh :salute:

That's true, but Im talking about the bums those fighters faced:mjpls:



For example, Harry Greb is heralded as one of the greatest fighters ever..........however, out of his 119 total bouts, 52 were against guys who entered the ring WITHOUT a winning record:sas1:


That's 44% of his resume:sas1:


So how impressive is it being 107-8-3, when almost half your resume was filled with guys who stepped in the ring against you without a winning record?:sas2:




How is it impressing being 107-8-3, when 51 of your wins came against guys who didn't have a winning record?:sas2:



How can I consider you an unstoppable force when all three of your 3 draws and your 1 NC came against guys without a winning record, and even 1 of your 8 career losses came against someone with a losing record?:sas2:

yah but harry greb has the most ATG wins on his resume and fought half his career with one eye and later fights with teburculosis.

figers learned their craft in pro fights there was less of an amateur scene. i dont like how the top amatuers stay am for so long and have like 100-300 fights in their am career. pro game is a different game. i like how the mexicans and spanish speaking countries do it. turn pro very young and learn your craft in pro fights.

from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
He was the man to beat at the time....he was The Ring Champion. But at the end of the day, it's like saying that Canelo (Stevenson) is The Man at Middleweight, when we all know the real man at Middleweight to beat today is GGG (Kovalev).

Nah.. thats a bullshyt comparison and you know it :comeon:

Besides, how is ggg the man and never even beat a top 3 in his division?? :childplease:

Kovalev aint shyt until he beats Stevenson

Errybody was talking bout kovalev vs Superman N I said Stevensons team fukked up by not fighting Hopkins... Then Levrai dropped his info

He still shoulda at least fought Pascal

Imagine Stevenson fights Hopkins, then Pascal...Fonfara never gets that L builds his name N makes that 1st fight even bigger...Mexican Hero never fights Fonfara gets a W at 175 then fights Superman

They woulda had Duva bent over no Vaseline

Sukhotsky, Bika, Karpency....the last 3 times we've seen :cape: in the ring, that's what we've seen him go up against.


Is it too much to ask for him to fight someone like Eleider Alvarez?

Arum keeps his media people well. He gets Fat Dan a nice fat dinner every time they meet and he's always giVing him access to info. No way you cannot bend over for a guy that makes you somebody.

As for B Hop he's full of shyt. He was never gonna fight Stevenson and he wanted Co promoter money while he was not dropping a dime. Then took less to fight Kovalev. He also wanted Stevenson in his backyard. @Newzz he wanted to hold a big position in PBC but Haymon already had his team and Hopkins wouldn't add anything new.


So my dude also added Thurman fukked up. He said some people are raising eyebrows and people are pressing Haymon to release more info about his health. Porter is in a bad spot now. He should rematch Broner when he has the chance.
