I think that was Jackson an Kovalev being extremely weird with each other, one staying for his cheque hoping his fighter loses and the other not giving a **** about his team an being difficult
If true, the way hunters mind works I would be more inclined to think it was reverse psychology to make kovalev "Think" he was being betrayed as a way to undermine jacksons training ...but who knows ? It was a shitty fight with a shitty outcome...
IMO Roger did not receive the credit he deserved, he guided Floyd & some may not like the style but it was effective & that was his job...good man!
