Reasons Kovalev vs Canelo is very suspect

[Curt Henning]

kovalev is 36 and at the end of it

so he should have chosen the 37 year old MW he already beat! lol

u cant make this stuff up

if he chose golovkin and whooped him yall would use the age excuse again and again...fgts

Kov just fought late august. That is only 2 months 1 week inbetween fights. Not enough for a real training camp. There doesnt seem to be a rehydration clause, and Kov has came in 186 or so before. Canelo is saying he is expecting him to be 190-195 so he seems to be indicating there is no rehydration clause.

Kov has legal drama at the end of this month. He cant be 100% focused and he just fought in August. He is clearly taking this fight for the money. If his true focus was to win this fight, he would have a longer fight camp and fight in january or february but he cant do that because he has a legal case coming up and needs to get the fight "over with" first.

Canelo seems to have his own drama with GBP. He wont talk about it and also seems to want to get this fight "over with" first. Wont be surprised if he drops GBP. Not sure what their contract says. Could be legal drama there.

Fix or not I would go in there with canelo for 500000 way less than kovalev someone tell canelo to give me a chance.

Would you enjoy the money if canelo turned you into a vegetable though bro? There's levels to this kovalevs a world level operator not a novice. I would fear for your health in there bud.

Redd Foxx spot on there, no fix needed what the op is saying is conjecture not based entirely on facts or truth.

But there is only small money in a GGG fight. Maybe $2-3m. Kovalev is getting $14m for Canelo.

A "fix"?? Why would it need a fix?
You have an aging, fading fighter who is notoriously weak to the body.
On the other side you have a prime fighter who has finished guys with body shots.
The math isn't hard to add up here.

Im baffled by dudes screaming "Fix" just giving Canelo fanboys to scream "hate".

Common sense none of Canelo fights need to be fixed when he has friendly relationship with the judges

[YOU WILL LOSE]

Kovalev is 36 and at the end, with two lawsuits from women he assaulted to pay off. He needs the money big time. $14m for this fight seems overly high, unless he's agreed to dive.

DAZN is contracted to Canelo for a guaranteed 10 fight $350m contract. Canelo and Oscar have that money to play with and they can tell any challenger, If you want the fight and our $ you have to dance to OUR tune. In other words they have the guaranteed jackpot to pay off anyone. Like Mayweather and Haymon did during their $150m six fight guaranteed Showtime contract.

Canelo is a franchise and the money masters are behind him and protecting their investment. Canelo will not lose until the end of the contract when the money masters decide who his franchise successor will be.

No rematch clause. If this was a REAL fight there would be a rematch clause because it would be a risk for both and both would want the security of a rematch clause. But Buddy McGirt let it slip there is no rematch clause in effect here. So this is a one off fight. It's a fix for Canelo. Do you really think Oscar and Canelo would make this fight without a rematch clause if it was real?

Oscar already talked about Canelo vs GGG3 being on for next year. Oscar knows Canelo will win vs Kovalev and is already making his future plans for Canelo known to the public. This upset Canelo, who doesn't want his fans to know Kovalev will throw the fight. This was very ****** move by Oscar to basically announce Canelo vs GGG 3 in 2020. Canelo told Oscar to shut up and not say these things to the public. Canelo has a little more honor than Oscar who showed he's an idiot for revealing that Canelo vs GGG is on for 2020.

Add up all these facts and it looks like Kovalev vs Canelo is a big fat fix, a set up for the WBC franchise and a pay off for an aging champ who needs to cash out because he has two allegedly assaulted women with money hungry lawyers on his ass.

To be honest, I've always felt like this was a dive from when the fight was first signed as well. I hope I'm wrong but I'll know as soon as the fight starts pretty much.

You don't even want to know how many times the pushed Gatti into the ring at the end when he was in no condition to fight. The show must go on, money must be made. Screw the fighter. If he fails the physical, so what? The fight must go on.
