My guess is that wealthy promoter from Russia who bid 20something million for wlad-povetkin and brought that fight to Russia. I could see him dropping 20M for main events as part of a package deal where he gets to co-promote kovalev. This will be very very interesting.
Would he though? Povetkin was his fighter fighting against the HW champ. Both guys were mainstays in europe and already established there..... Kov hasn't even had his homecoming fight yet, and if Mohamadi fight is there, that's well past he purse bid
