Thank god this rematch is actually happening. Kovalev needs to set the record straight and banish Ward from boxing.

How the hell did people end up talking about Golovkin when the fight, a pretty damn big one between two elite fighters, announced was Ward versus Kovalev? The extreme GGG hate and fanboy has to chill....

Who cares what Sanchez says that's the same guy who said Jacobs would be ko'd then said he wasn't surprised it went the distance. ggg has never mentioned ward or anyone at 175 for that matter it's like your hypocrisy is justified cause Sanchez said some dumb ****ward is still calling out a guy 2 divisions down while everyone else gets criticized for that ****.

Hypocrisy is you saying Golovkin isn't responsible for things his trainer and promoter says but making Ward responsible for what his trainer recently said. When did Ward call out Golovkin since he announced he was making an official move to LHW in 2015?

Good... No excuses now Kovey...

BTW would have been awesome to put Beterbiev on that card ... Sucks it's the Ramadan... Coincidence or conspiracy ?

SOG will win again and do it in dominant fashion.

If you honestly think that Roc Nation is paying Cotto $50m for three fights, you're a fool.

Roc Nation Sports and Miguel Cotto Promotions formed a partnership, worth an alleged $50m, to host three Miguel Cotto fights and a host of concerts in Puerto Rico.

Miguel Cotto will likely fight Brandon Rios, sell out one of the NYC venues (Barclays Center or MSG), and have his fight take the HBO rights fee paired with the re-air of Ward-Kovalev II, on top of other revenues.

Sorry its actually 10 mil they owe him source is FatDan. http://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/i...kirkland-texas

And paired revenues have **** to do with what is owed to 1 fighter and how much a event cost to put together. Cotto's contract was a joint venture with Cotto promotions. But the fighter miguel and the promoter miguel were separated in that contract. He is still owed a massive amount of money that Roc Nation is probably never going to break even on.

Not to mention Roc Nation Sports are the worst at promoting boxing events.
