Glad to hear the Konalev fight might still be next. If not I see Sergey as the next opponent to kept the belt . Much rather see him vacate the belt and face Kona...

Great fight, hope it happens.

**** Golovkin. I hope Canelo stands firm and never gives that diva another shot until he earns it by fighting someone with a pulse.

So assuming Kovalev wins, he immediately goes back into training? That's not good for someone of his age. He needs some time between fights. That's a quick turnaround.

The article literally says Kov Yarde would get scrapped if the Canelo fight gets made.

DAZN is hillarious. "Skipper signed Alvarez and Golovkin to nine-figure contracts in large part because he thought their third fight...". Someone forgot to tell Skipper that if it isn't in the contract, no one is obligated. You cant take "hope" to the bank. "hope" in this world is a blank check.

Wait, I thought Kovalev signed for the Yarde fight?

I know. I mentioned it to the other guy about me scanning over the article too quickly and missing that part.

Kovalev team going back to Golden Boy to negotiate because the moment Golden Boy and Dibella asked for more time from the IBF they know that if Canelo fights Dervy that takes Kovalev off the boards for Dec. No guarantee Kovalev even beats Yarde huge risk with a big Canelo paycheck on the table and now even if he get's by Yarde you not getting that Canelo paycheck in 2019. Who knows if Canelo moves on and fights someone else in 2020.

Seems like the diva will do anything to avoid Golovkin.
GGG should make some concession, like promising no trash talk or maybe allowing the the diva to use PEDS.
Otherwise he'll never get that boy in the ring.

If GGG doesn't fight a top opponent like Charlo, Andrade, maybe Murata, then GGG is making a mistake. GGG has to fight a top fighter in his next fight or more people will turn their backs on him. If he had fought someone with a title and won instead of Rolls, he could have had more leverage at this time. It's on him.

DAZN a JOKE! Canelo can Only fight Kov. Or GGG?? While they approve Rills and now Munguia for GGG??? What are they afraid GGG would lose to Andrade or anyone else with a pulse???

They in panic mode after Jacobs lost.

DAZN phuked this up big time. They should of NEVER meddled. They tried to force Canelo to fight GGG and it backfired. He wanted Kovalev but Kovalev and his team priced themselves out because he got too many people digging in his pockets if he cancels the Yarde fight. After Kovalev fight couldn't get made they again went to trying to tell Canelo he has to fight GGG in Sept. But Canelo told them ok you think you can tell me who to fight I'll show you and now I won't give you a sept fight at all I'll sit until Dec and fight Kovalev the guy I want to fight anyway when he's done with Yarde. This is a huge blow to DAZN having Canelo go that long between May without fighting and they lose subscribers. Meanwhile Canelo only fights twice a year if he fights in Sept, Oct, Nov or Dec makes no difference he get's paid the same. But it's a huge difference financially for DAZN. So now DAZN scrambling and will let Canelo fight Dervy in Oct to get him back fighting sooner then Dec and he still WON'T fight GGG.

Canelo vs Dervy could of easily been made for Sept if DAZN didn't meddle. Now they realize they can't tell Canelo what to do and you need him more then he needs you. Canelo vs Anyone is a hell of a lot better then Canelo vs NOBODY because he refuses to fight. Not fighting in Sept costs DAZN millions subscription lost revenue and that number goes up every month he doesn't fight. They had a stare down and DAZN blinked.
