Why wouldn't it be on HBO? Kov is the man. No one gives a fukk about Stevenson right now. People recognize Kov as the "champ" not Stevenson. This aint Floyd and Manny bro.
Outside of Bika, who moved up to get thw fight, Stevenson aint fought nobody worth a damn since Fonfara.
Dude been playing politics since right before the move to PBC. That nikka don't wanna fight bro.
is All politics breh?? Duva had NO contract with HBO...FORCED a WBC purse bid on a unification... Knew she was going to lose N pulled out of the Purse bid SHE fukking asking for N went back to HBO
The fact you have this information N can still type ....the other side is scary the other side is all politics
Who's had the better TV numbers Kovalev or Superman on PBC??
Who's the attendance draw ?? Superman or Kovalev (who's last fight he headlined by himself had less people show up then my highschool graduation)
Who's the draw in Canada that's going bring those viewers in N PPV??
So why tf should Duva N HBO demand any damn thing?? Cuz Kellerman tells you Kovalev is "basically undisputed"
The fight wouldn't even be on HBO they want it on PPV...that shyt will flop...USA don't buy PPV headlined by Euro Cacs N black Canadians
So instead of doing a joint venture N have your P4P champion attempt to get all 4 belts on Primetime CBS in front of at least 3milly viewers...
Get some shine to someone like Chocolatito on the undercard...
fukking build Kovalev in front of millions N actually get interest N buyers for the Ward PPV....
Nah no fight well take Kovalev to Russia
GREENandYELLOW
2x...and defending
The point that often never gets brought up. There was a point when Kovalev had agreed, HBO had agreed, and they were waiting for Stevenson. Stevenson chose to leave for PBC instead of taking the biggest fight available.
After that, it has been HBO and PBC negotiating which is a no go not for just for Kovalev-Stevenson, but for everything not Floyd-Manny. Then Adonis wants to start agreeing, once he knows Kovalev's contract is HBO exclusive, so if PBC wins the purse bid, which they will against Main Events, Kovalev cannot contractually fight.
Let's be real, hate him or not, it isn't Kovalev ducking Adonis, it is Main Events and HBO holding the fight up on his end.
No matter what you think, we all lose. Stevenson-Kovalev would be a great fight. Low key would have some of the best trash talk leading up to a fight.
And we should be disappointed when there are two clear cut fighters with claim to being king of a division and we can't get them in the ring to settle it. 
The fight should have been stopped a round earlier -- at least.
It won't surprise me if one day some boxer tries to sue a referee for letting him take more punishment than he should have.
Pascal took at least 40 punches in that last 1.5 rounds that he didn't need to take.
These refs (and Freddy Roach, for that matter) are in there to protect these fighters from themselves.

Darnell Boone Says Gennady GGG Golovkin Hits Harder Than Kovalev and Stops Andre Ward
Big words, breh
ggg dropped kovalev with a body punch in sparring
Could happen but realistically, it's the fighters fault. Pascal knew he was getting whooped. Roach at his corner told him he was about to stop the fight but Pascal wasn't having none of that and pushed for one more round. I know fighters are not objective when they think they "can do it" against all odds but as you said, Pascal was silent for a round and a half while getting tagged, there's no way he didn't know he was being punished.
