Update Sept 13:

Done!







UPDATE SEPT 9:


More drama? Is all this back and forth an attempt to draw some hype, or is nothing actually been confirmed?

Nothing done. Wrong again source-erer! Premature announcing making you very unpopular https://t.co/WWO0A3aGqh

UPDATE SEPT 8:


At 175 and not at a CW? Great if so, but what about rehydration?

Legit source? I guess we will find out soon...

BSO sources tell us that a deal between Canelo Alvarez and Sergey Kovalev has been completed and an announcement will be forthcoming likely on Friday.
It was just a matter of time after Kovalev survived a scare in his last fight.

Kovalev didn’t want to fight in November, but the money was just too much to turn down. Kovalev will likely make over $10 million. Canelo is guaranteed $32 million.

Canelo will be trying to win a title in a 4th weight division and will be going up two weight classes to try to get it.

Canelo keeps giving us the good fights

[jas]

please be at full 175 with no rehydration clause

so we can see canelo sparked out

[BLASTER1]

Awesome fight if their are no catchweight B.S.

[AKAcronym]

Haven't seen another source on this, but going off this source alone, it's never good having a fighter go into a fight that he doesn't want. If Kovalev is doing it solely for the money, he's definitely cashing out.

[kidbazooka]

Yeaaaahhhhh buddy!!!!!

And that’s why Canelo is p4p numero uno.

MF wouldn’t fight Chavez Jr. without a rehydration/weight clause lmfao

I don't rate a win over a weight drained opponent, catchweights are the domain of the rich A-side. The fans get the fight they were looking for and the A-side gets the cash. It's a hoodwink.

Lomachenko vs Anthony Joshua at 130 pounds, who wins? I'd bet my life savings on Loma, I'd take myself over a 130 pound AJ too.

[Redd Foxx]

If Canelo actually does this with no catches, respect. But, that's just not how the dude operates so my hopes are low.

[Vlad_]

Don't take the fight

Why not? As long as there is no weight fuckery...
