Comments Thread For: Stevenson, With Haymon at Side, Wants Bank For Kovalev

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

jeetwin188.com reported earlier today that WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson (23-1, 20KOs) retained the services of very influential boxing adviser Al Haymon. Stevenson will be back in action on May 24th at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada. He will face top contender Andrzej Fonfara.

HBO, who Stevenson has a multi-fight deal with, wants him to take part in a unification fight with WBO champion Sergey Kovalev (23-0-1, 20KOs), who faces Cedric Agnew on March 29th.

Stevenson is deluded if he thinks he is earning anything close to Mayweather for the Kovalev fight or any other fight.

There's no question he's deluded. Regardless. He just said that behind Floyd, he's the #2 draw in Haymon's stable.

lol wut

Don't blame him for wanting some good coin fighting Kovalev, but yes, he's deluded.

This fight doesn't have nearly the same buzz as Danny/Lucas.

But, I do think he deserves $1 million for fighting Kovalev. As does Kovalev.

Stevenson should definetly get more than 1 mil considering andre ward got like 2 mil to fight rodriguez.

Stevenson should definetly get more than 1 mil considering andre ward got like 2 mil to fight rodriguez.

I think Rodriguez got 1 million for that fight as well, so Stevenson and Kovalev should def get more.

Pricing himself out?

SMFH....Kovalev had to give up part of his own split to get Cedric Agnew in the damn ring, ****...please tell me this is gonna happen.

[Bigg Rigg]

Well, I can't be mad at this but he's bugging out talking bout he's behind Floyd.

[Russian Crushin]

Well there goes the fight

[Pigeons]

Didn't HBO give Berto 2.3M for Freddy Hernandez?

Stevenson and Kovalev both deserve twice as much each. These fighters risk their lives for our entertainment, they should be compensated fairly for such an endeavor.
