    Kovalev victory would have been terrible for dazn/gbp business and they weren’t going to let that happen.

    What was the deal that he couldnt refuse?

    Allowing oneself, as a formerly fearsome light-heavy, to get knocked out by a ginger middle-weight is always a great career move.

    "Sergey, it'll be great for your self esteem and feeling of self-worth too. Getting knocked out by Canelo will do wonders for your life! Sign here, or else we off the missus, Putin-style".

    you people are idiots.

    "Sergey, forget honor, this is boxing. Yes, it will be embarassing for a little while, getting Koed by Canelo. Sure, it'll hurt. But the alternative is 'falling' out of a 9th story apartment building in Moscow. Besides, we'll take care of you. We promise. Now, don't get fresh and try and win the fight or something like that. We have you enrolled in acting classes -- 6 weeks of the Stanislavsky method should be about all you need to perfect the stanky leg. Alternatively, you could just study your own films when you were all stanky-legged against Andre Ward, Eleider Alvarez, and Anthony Yarde. Remember, Sergey, if it's not convincing, don't be surprised if your breakfast has the whiff of cyanide at your favorite buffet at the Red Lobster"

    Wrong thread maggot. Nobody here claimed that Kovalev took a dive. You are arguing with the conspiracy theorists of the forum simply because they are the only ones you can win an argument against with your limited intellectual capacities. You miserable old rat.

    Not necessarily saying this fight was fixed. However, boxing has a history of rigged fights.

    He was given a three piece deal and physically dissociated in agreement.
