If he beats Ward in dominant fashion, especially by knockout. Then, I could see him becoming a draw. If Kovalev is marketed correctly.

ODLH is the biggest superstar the sport has ever had only comparable to Tyson and Ali lol, Floyd and Manny were fortunate enough to have him as an eligible opponent at the time because it secured them superstar status. Floyd made the most of it because he was smart.
Manny, well, I don't even know how he is doing financially but everyone swore Arum was robbing him blind. Even then, Manny was borderline a cultural icon before the DLH fight. Both fighters make it to superstardom without him but it obviously helped a ton fighting him.
