The_budweiser Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Q: You took it upon yourself to voice your opinion of Kovalev. You basically said he’s not a star and that he’s a racist. Do you regret saying any of those things? JP: Regret? I don’t regret anything I said that day. All I did was tell the truth. There is only one star in this fight and it isn’t Sergey Kovalev. When he and I fought on the same show in Vegas on July 25 it became obvious that Kovalev sells like sand in the desert. He didn’t even sell 1,000 tickets, so we all know the reason he’s coming back to Montreal is because I’m the only way he can make money. He likes to say that he likes to go to other peoples hometown and ruin them in front of their fans, but that’s a lie. He likes to go to other people’s backyard because he has no hometown of his own and couldn’t sell 2,000 tickets to save his life. And when he makes his first million dollar purse because of my great fans in Montreal, how does he thank them? He gives them the finger. Talk about classless. Q: And as far as the racist remarks? JP: Like I said, I don’t regret anything. It was the truth. Ismayl Sillakh told me some of the deplorable things Kovalev told him before they fought and the monkey shirt with Adonis spoke for itself. And it’s a fact that he only calls black fighters pieces of shit. The funny thing is when it comes to selling tickets, speaking in complete sentences or generating big ratings, the only piece of shit is him.

I would hope that was because Nadjib Mohammedi is a nobody and thereforer nobody cared. Someone with Kovalev's skills and entertainment value should be a star, even if he is an awful human being.

BoztheMadman Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Re: Pascal has no regrets calling Kovalev a racist and not a star Kovalev does seem to have something unsympathetic about him, but hey-this is boxing. It's not meant to be nice guys' sport. Pascal himself is a loudmouthed prick. And I think he will soon regret these words. :boxing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRingRules Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Re: Pascal has no regrets calling Kovalev a racist and not a star --- Likely a dirty promo because Pascal is done as a big draw. He and Stevenson never hooked up for big bucks to extend their appeal. They both think small and soon will be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoztheMadman Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Re: Pascal has no regrets calling Kovalev a racist and not a star Pascal should have never asked for a rematch, its pure machismo bullshit on his behalf to think he can do better and that he was WRONGED in the first fight. ROFL! He will get his head smashed in and then when he finally gets dementia, he will blame it on Kov. A sad case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Re: Pascal has no regrets calling Kovalev a racist and not a star When you call some one a racist in the media, you look the bad guy unless you back it up. And by saying I was told by.... is kind of passing the buck. Pascal should back his claims up or apologise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_A Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Re: Pascal has no regrets calling Kovalev a racist and not a star Quite clearly a marketing stunt. And a good thing that Kovalev responded in kind, last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
