Comments Thread For: Kovalev's HBO Headlining Debut Draws Over 1 Million

Now he needs to put butts on seats to be an even bigger draw that place looked empty when Kovalev fought. We all know Steveson fills arenas and gets lots of viewers so Stevenson is still the bigger draw.

Put him in New York with a better opponent and a decent undercard and he would bring 10k fans I bet.

If he keeps winning and giving interviews the way he does, it's only a matter of time to he's bringing in GGG like numbers. Americans like the thought of Eastern Euro champs. Thank that Rocky movie.

Only in Quebec. 9 of last 10 fights have been there, the other on Floyd/Ortiz undercard. I would imagine Kovalev could fill an arena in Russia just the same.

All relative

How come if Pac sells less than a million, it's bad but Canelo selling 350k it's good?

I guarantee you the whole HBO card with Kov cost way less than how much Ward got paid for his own purse

The criticism of Andre Ward was he got paid $2 million to do less ratings than some fighters who fought for $400k. He was overpaid, and it has come back to bite HBO.

lol. Do you know what the difference in license fee HBO paid for both fights. Considering Ward is a P4P star and American fighter he should have blitzed Kovalev's rating.

The fact that they are that close signifies how little interest Ward brings and how quick Kovalev's popularity is growing.
