Ducking Pac man?

Ur right I don't really blame Floyd he initially didn't want the fight because he knew pacquiao was on roids then when he was willing to entertain it pacquiaos negotiating seemed to kill it. Now all of the sudden he's willing to fight him for free? if he wanted the fight THAT bad he'd have left top rank. Floyd is protected by saying that pacquiao still has Bradley problems he still has Marquez problems and he won't do business with bob arum. So if pacquiao wants the Floyd fight THAT bad he needs to handle those 3 problems...which can potentially be done in time for Floyd's last bout

Haymon taking Stevenson over to Showtime...
And we get robbed of another fan friendly fight in Stevenson/Kovalev is down the drain for now.
I get the sense Superman didn't want that problem anyway...would rather fight Hopkins. More money, less risk.

Haymon is signing everyone, which is good for boxing.
It's going to get to the point where the cold war will end because Top Rank will run out of options.

Stevenson wasn't with Top Rank though, he was with HBO.

Kathy Duva called Adonis a duck 
for him avoiding Kovalev in order to fight Hopkins.

Come on man, if you fight on HBO you might as well be Top Rank.

Maidana is B level now?
If he beats Floyd then he can move up to A level. I don't feel like he's done enough to be an A level fighter.

What other welterweights do you consider A level?

HBO didn't put the ink on the dotted line and Showtime offered a lot more money for Stevenson. HBO had the right to match the offer but chose not too.

Wasn't HBO bragging about finding Stevenson not too long ago?
FWIW:
What do those last two statements back to back tell you? They want way more money for a Fonfara fight along with not committing to a Kovalev fight? If that's the case, then let him go to Showtime and wait to see if he'll get paid for Hopkins to school him for 12 rounds. He doesn't wanna man up to fight Kovalev then so be it.

To me, it sounds like they were going off of a verbal agreement and as it says Stevenson "had the right to solicit other offers and got a bigger one from Showtime for the Fonfara fight." What did HBO expect to happen? Showtime is trying to clean HBO out, they should've known better. At this point I wouldn't be surprised to see Kovalev on Showtime by the end of the year.

I knew this was going to happen as soon as I saw Stevenson hanging around the Watson brothers a few months ago. Hopkins vs Stevenson intrigues me just as much as Stevenson vs Kovalev. *shrugs*

there was never talks of them 2 fighting each other, but was talks of Matthysse getting a spot on the undercard VS someoneNah, Broner didn't want any parts of him

and if you sign with haymon its damn near a lock your fighting on showtime. I think only 2 of haymon figthers have fought on HBO last year and it was the guy ward fought and someone else. and both times haymon or the waston family wasn't there.
with all these recent singings from haymon something big must be in the works

Broner was going to be his opponent if they put him on the card but those talks never really gained any steam. Floyd was trying to sell the whole US vs Argentina thing, as you see in the flyer above, but that matchup was too dangerous for Broner coming off a loss.
I just hope Broner is done with his antics and takes boxing seriously going forward.

Going by his most recent interviews, he's not changing.
