HBO turns down Alvarez and Kovalev Rematch

[thekenneth]

They could sell a lot of tickets in montreal where Alvarez is extremly popular and now a champion.

could be picked up by another network or they could want kovalev to fight before bivol vs a can.

How did Kovalev quit when he kept on getting back up and fighting, again and again after getting knocked down several times, until the referee stopped it?

HBO invested in the Soviets and it almost cost them. They are wisely putting their money in the Latino bag now. Canelo, Munguia, and Estrada. They'll ride that train until the last station. That last station is still probably a few years away, but in 2020 I think HBO Boxing will go the way of The Sopranos. They're not getting up, Jim.

Damn. To me, this is indicative of 2 bad things;
-Fighters asking too much.
-HBO just not having the juice anymore.

As long as Canelo is still a big draw, they'll likely stick with boxing in some limited form.

If Canelo gets knocked out in a couple weeks though, not sure what's next for him. Maybe going back to 54 for the wbogus belt.

Canelo's most interesting non-GGG opponents are all with Haymon. HBO has the big A-side, but nobody interesting to put him against other than GGG.

This is very unexpected.

Alvarez put on a pay-no-mind list by HBO.
