Why would Kovalev fight Canelo on November 2nd?

That's 68 days from now.....

8 figures...

They should fight. Just not on that date.

That's 68 days from now.....

Castillo gave us one of the best fights of all time vs Corrales just 63 days after beating Julio Diaz.

Sources tell The Athletic that Sergey Kovalev’s team is balking at Nov. 2 date for a fight with Canelo Alvarez after taxing win over Anthony Yarde. However, DAZN/Canelo are intent on Nov. 2 for Alvarez’s return. Career-high purse for Kovalev hangs in balance

Kovalev rightly doesn't want that kind of turn around. Let's get Canelo vs Kovalev in 2020.

Why not December?

Why not December?

They could do it on the 7th make it a day and night double header with the AJ-Ruiz rematch.

Why not December?

If it's enough time for Kovalev. I'm sure DAZN wants subs for Nov and Dec though.....

Could be a blessing in disguise.
Get Kovalev back into camp and
keep him off the booze.

This right here. Its all about DAZN wanting the Canelo and AJ fights in different 30 day periods to extend subscriptions. I believe Coppinger or Mannix said it on their podcast. IMO they should push it back to give Kovalev some recovery time, but for all that money regardless this is his big cash out fight
