How much did Kovalev get on the side to go soft

[FrankieClutch]

The amount of boxing fans that think this type of sh.t is astonishing to me. Why do you even watch if this is what you get from fights?

Now, seriously, i think he must have gotten +10 mill at least under the table.

Which is probably twice less as Gennady.

And the funny thing is Canelo overdid the fix: it wasn't supposed to end in a KO, because this is going to raise a lot of eyebrows even among not boxing casuals.

He never threw any punches hard enough to crush a g****. Very suspect.

Yea Canelo fked up. It was supposed to be a 12rd fix yet Canelo saw a clean opening and couldnt help himself. Lol

Very suspect

The vast majority of boxing matches are not fixed but that doesn't mean a fixed fight never happens. I was thinking this fight could possibly be fixed before the fight. It all seemed so planned out for Canelo to win by KO and get fighter of the year and fighter of the decade and be bigger than ever. A Kovalev win would be really costly for DAZN, Team Canelo and Golden Boy. Canelo is such a huge money maker that paying Kovalev big money under the table to make sure he loses would be worthwhile insurance even if dishonest. Nothing about the actual fight makes me confident that Kovalev did his best to win and the fight was not fixed. He did not fight like a guy who wanted to win. A guy known as the crusher not throwing any punches with bad intentions?????? The KO was real though. Canelo really blasted him and knocked him out.

The ko is legit but the fight is fixed...

Canelo tried everything to hurt and ko kov while kov tried his best not to hurt canelo. This is the real story of the fight.

Kovalev has multiple court cases coming up that would cost a lot of millions if he loses or it is drawn out. Probably 12 million+ court cases settled by DAZN.

I hope they settle Kova’s court case and counter sue that gold digging hoe for all she had. This was garbage from Kovalev. So disappointed.

[Divine Hammer]

very strange. more su****ious than the ko itself. kovalev isn't known in his entire career of fighting for throwing soft punches let alone soft punches for an entire fight. even in his last fight against yarde kovalev put a lot more into his jabs.

I seriously hate boxing fans.

Kovalev’s instructions was to use his jab and box, by McGirt. An ill-advised gameplan. Trying to follow GGG’s gameplan of jabbing his way through 12 rounds. Kovalev was also scared of counters because Canelo clearly was swinging for the fences. He was trying to score with power punches, and Kovalev was trying to win on points with jabs and staying away from Canelo’s hard shots. He didn’t take risks.

Also, I hate you all. You ain’t sh/t. F/ck boxing fans. F/cking drama queens.

He took this fight short notice, he fought like 9 weeks ago.

Hes got an assault trial that starts on 25 November, so this farce was rushed.

Kov cashed out and intentionally threw no hard shots. His base purse was only $3 million but plus incentives. They were saying he was expected to get closer to $12 million when all said and done. How do you have such a huge variance when its not a PPV fight? no details on how the incentives calculated..... paid off to throw the fight.

What were the incentives? A dive is the only quid pro quo possible here. Or a bonus if he won. Do any of us believe dazn signed a bonus clause for kov to beat cAnelo?

A nine million dollar bonusat that....for 9 million I would have windmilled by azz off trying to ko Canelo

Kov didn’t seem motivated enough for me to believe that.
