Why did Kovalev's team choose Cleverly over Hopkins?

[face untouched]

People hate to see n!ggas getting money and getting rich....lol

thats exactly how I see this **** bruh, bunch of little ass dudes feeling all small and useless when Al Haymon signs someone lol they dont want to see the most important figure in boxing being a black man.

Ugh Larry get real, mother*****r I'm as big of a Hopkins fan that you will find, but I don't believe every little thing he says! Hopkins took Murat over Kovalev, he was messing around for months before it was signed to screw with Murat..

If indeed the Hopkins fight was on the table as well as Cleverly, who do you think Kovalev would have made more money fighting? Hopkins all day, no way kovalev wouldn't take it! Everyone knows how much Bernard likes to mess with boxers minds! Don't bring up this **** to try and discredit another fighter just because you get an erection for Stevenson!
