I wouldn't mind if he fought Monaghan. He's not the best opponent out there, but he's ranked in all ABC's and style wise it would make for a fun fight.

I just figure he says he's always looking for a top fight. It's a good payday for him, an acceptable tv opponent for Kovalev,and a good style fight for the fans.jujigatame wrote:What did Monaghan ever do to you?armageto wrote:I wouldn't mind if he fought Monaghan.

If he was always looking for top opponents, he would have found one in his first 27 fights. He hasn't fought anybody from boxrec top 50.armageto wrote:I just figure he says he's always looking for a top fight.

Chilemba seems like a fitting opponent.

It's a pretty terrible fight for Monaghan if he values his health.armageto wrote:Tough crowd today.........

It's a terrible fight for most guys in all honesty as far as chances of winning. It will be a good payday for him. At 34 years old and 27 fights, what's the end game for your career if it's not a big payday and a shot at a belt? Just my thinking, I guess.....jujigatame wrote:It's a pretty terrible fight for Monaghan if he values his health.armageto wrote:Tough crowd today.........

I think Chilemba is a better fighter than Monaghan, but style wise, it will be a more exciting fight with Monaghan....

Thank you for answering that for me. Much appreciated.jujigatame wrote:I honestly don't know how it would have worked. Haymon was obviously intending on putting the fight on Showtime or one of the other PBC-friendly channels like ESPN/NBC/CBS. I suppose if the fight had gone ahead, Kovalev and Duva would have been in breach of contract with HBO and there would have been lawsuits. It's possible HBO could have gotten an injunction and prevented the fight from happening at all. I'm not sure how ironclad those contracts between TV networks and individual fighters are.Lancenix wrote: So what would have happened if they had followed through? They would have fought on Showtime or?? Thanks for the answer.
