Lol, GYM didn't complain, so what do you know? They never said the financials were the issue, they cited Ramadan and not being prepared for Kovalev as the main reason for passing up on the offer.
This would be my fight of the year. Think there's a real chance this and Golovkin v Ward get made next year. Beterbiev and Kovolov can't stand each other and this surely makes big money over in Moscow.
By who though? People make stupid claims on here and then never follow them up with examples or even a slight elaboration.
His favorite people to hug are big punches. He loves them long time. He might even give Sergey a kiss or two.
Beterbiev? Oh yeah he sucks so much that he was a 2x Olympian. He's a 2x European Champion, 2x Medalist at Worlds as an Amateur, but gosh he's a horrible boxer. For you guys anybody that's not "slick" sucks.
Sergey better do something about that hugging. You know Ward is going to want to be up close with Kovalev and try to smother him. He'll give Sergey a kiss or two and also ask him for a dance while he's at it. But don't worry, Ward's personal ref will blame everything on Sergey.
Ward better be careful if Ward tries to give Kovalev a hug and a kiss, Sergey might just knock him out cold, because Russians don't like that type of funny business.:deal
