Remember Kovalev not making much money for the Ward rematch because we were on a revenue split? We obviously don't! This way Kovalev, who was just knocked out two fights ago, can continue making a fraction of the money he would have gotten for Canelo by fighting other light heavyweights that are younger power punchers. What could possibly go wrong?!"

When you're not a draw yourself and you're offered multi millions to fight Canelo YOU TAKE IT.

No matter what the offer was I'm sure it is still 5 times what he can make against anyone else

Evidently it was well less than half of what Jacobs received. Close to the same money for yarde. Dazn has these guaranteed loss contracts with the a sides, the b sides are going to mainly be mismatches. Tough break for canelo, he would stop kovalev.

I'm not sure if he would, but it's not out of the question. If Kovalev fought him with the attitude of "he's the smaller man, I'm gonna knock him out" then yeah he might get stopped.

Kovalev would actually be better off to be fearful of him, and try to outbox him like he did Eleider in the rematch.

Both Kovalev and Andrade "offers" are PR campaign. There is no time left to promote a big fight. Instead, Canelo will fight a no hopper like Munguia or somebody on or below that level.

As some people said there is not enough time to properly promote a big fight for Canelo. Also Munguia may want to cash in based on how he looked in his last fight. Probably Munguia would last a little bit longer than Liam Smith against Canelo. Also it would be like a soft touch-fight for Canelo after he fought Jacobs. Just like he fought Fielding after GGG.

With less than three months to market the targeted September 14 fight date, the team who inked Alvarez to a record-breaking multi-million dollar contract has now limited the field to acceptable next opponents—Golovkin or light heavyweight titlist Sergey Kovalev.

SenorPipino wrote: ↑08 Jul 2019, 22:44 It'll probably be Andrade. Munguia is a dark horse to get the call.

Kovalev looks set for Yarde in August.

And GBP has no intention of appeasing drama queen Golovkin. His childish, greed-fillled behavior last year and subsequent loss of the title means he's hardly in the driver's seat.

GBP will see to it that there are consequences for Golovkin's ongoing petulance and prima donna antics.

When push comes to shove with DAZN, Canelo's $365 million contract and recognition as the Face of Boxing easily trumps anything Golovkin can bring to the table.
