Comments Thread For: Kovalev Explains Why He Turned Down 'Big' Offer To Fight Canelo

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It wasn't too little, but it was too late. That's essentially why Sergey Kovalev turned down an 11th-hour, eight-figure offer to fight Canelo Alvarez. Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez made a very attractive offer to Kathy Duva, Kovalev's promoter, late in July for Kovalev to defend his WBO light heavyweight title versus Alvarez on October 26 in Las Vegas.

Even Kova is terrified of The Emperor. Don’t blame him. Nobody wants that Canelo smoke.

I still haven't decided where my money goes on this one.

Clenelo Alvaroid offered Kovalev a fight at 170 lbs catch weight with 5 lbs rehydration clause. That dirty cheat Clenelo

Kovalev maybe washed,but he would still 1-2-1 Canelo to death

[Eff Pandas]

Did he have a choice. If he didn't fight the mando Yarde he likely gets stripped of the belt. And without a belt does Canelo give a f#ck about the fight as much. This is a catch a belt fight for Canelo I feel like not that he just specifically wants to fight Kovalev.

[DuckAdonis]

Yeah makes perfect sense with the Yarde fight already signed and only few weeks away

you're a troll and a terrible one at that I will school you real quick clenelo just ducked deverychenko and got stripped of his ibf belt because of it and the guy who clenelo ducked for years is fighting him for it! clenelo groupies live in their own delusional reality!

The diva was scrambling to find a credible opponent after he ducked (avoided, sidestepped, refused to fight etc) Golovkin.
