Comments Thread For: Pascal: I’m Glad to Give Kovalev a Real Payday

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Sergey Kovalev, in defending against one of his mandatory challengers, is giving Jean Pascal the opportunity to fight for three world titles. Pascal, who meets Kovalev in Montreal on March 14, says he’s happy to be giving Kovalev something in return.

“I’m really, really glad to give Kovalev his first real payday, because I think he got underpaid by his people, because after like 23 fights [Kovalev’s had 27], it’s his first real payday,” Pascal said on a Feb. 24 media conference call. “After his fight against Hopkins, I think he got only 100k, something like that, and that’s very, very bad for a champion of his caliber. I think Kovalev deserves way more money, a lot of money, and I’m very glad that I’m giving him this opportunity.”

Pascal is delusional!

I'm glad Pascal has the balls to fight Kovalev. Unlike a certain duck in the division.

Pascal's always been a likeable guy

I like Pascal a lot, but can't envision him beating Kovalev. I think he will have to use his speed and power early and dig to the body of Krusher as much as he can to sap the energy from him. If he can hurt Kovalev to the body and keep him honest, I think he stands a much better chance of victory. Kovalev has just looked spectacular lately and Pascal is the type of fighter his style looks good against.

I am a fan of both fighters and expect Kovalev to win impressively, but will be pulling for Pascal to get it done!

The beating kovalev is going to give pascal will be priceless! Hard and expensive lesson to learn sr. Pascal! Once u feel the power of the russian krusher! You will understand why they call him krusher! Make no mistake folks kovalev is going to beat the pulp out of pascal...

Pascal has a wit and sarcasm about him that you have to like. He can be a jacka$$ at times, but at the end of the day, he always comes to fight.

Props to pascal for fighting kovalev. He could have fought bums and make decent money in montreal but he chose kovalev.
