      He didn't need to tell us. He damned near had an ****** when he heard how much he was getting.

        Fixed in boxing means going into a fights with bad odds etc.

        The fact that he took the fight on right after almost getting KOed in a war shows this was about money.

        No elite fighter would accept those terms if they had intentions of winning!

          I’m impressed with boxing news 24. For a website that features writers who butcher the English language on a daily basis, they can apparently read Russian and use it to produce aggregated news.

              unfortunately anyone can find his interview..in Russian of course)

              and yes, he said surprisingly ****** things. don't want to know him anymore after that.

              simply took a dive. and he blamed people that believed and even bet $ on him. i'll keep rest of negative stuff with me. he is done

                Stop lying.

                "but he’s reportedly making much more than that. The Athletic reported that Kovalev’s full sum is $12 million"

                  Well yeah, it was a soft fix, not a hard one.

                  HE didn't "take a dive".

                  He just took a fight that he was extremely unlikely to win based on the conditions he was given.

                  Hell, for $12 million, I might do the same thing

                    that site is pure trash. Zero credibility. I'll wait for boxingscene to post if true
