    Alvarez might be with Haymon but he doesn't fall under the PBC umbrella. Not like the other guys.
    But i think SHO would be happy to pick up Alvarez-Kovalev II.

    Alvarez was only on PBC sometimes never as a main event. Most people here I feel last saw him vs Chilemba and just like everyone else fighting Chilemba he didn't look amazing.

    Are you really that cold hearted? I don't find that funny at all, sad is more like it.

    I saw him versus Bute & Pascal as well, knew he was a good technical boxer with a great jab. Honestly I wasn't favoring him, but I did like his chances to end up out-boxing Kovalev over 12.

    It's funny to him because obviously he almost certainly used to get in debates on the subject with people. Time tells all. It's like being passionate with a prediction and getting it right. I doubt he literally laughed. Not that serious, man.

    Duva is a bit of a ****. Sad on Kovalev's part but the irony is strong when it comes to Duva.

    Beterbiev v Johnson
    Alvarez v Kovalev ll

    Followed by IBF + WBO unfication?

    Bivol already signed to Matchroom/DAZN too.....

    It would be like Eddie's own WBSS LHW.


    Get it done Eddie.

    I heard that the rematch might be the co-main event to Stevenson/Gvozdyk in December.

    Duva played herself, and ****ed a portion of Kovalev's career up.

    Wow, that would be huge. It would also pave the way for a possible Stevenson-Kovalev fight (yeah, more like 50+ club, but who cares :lol:).

    that would be in Canada, but how much money could they really offer as an undercard fight?

    Well, Canada is not a problem for Kovalev, but the money could be, yes... But, what other choices does he have? Also it should be a matter of honor for Sergey, so he can say something like: "Ok, f**k it, I'll do it anyway".

    Yup, that was an awful business decision. Why in holy hell would you show loyalty to a network? When do they show loyalty to fighters? Hindsight is 20.20 though.
