Pretty good for Kovalev considering he only made $500k vs Hopkins and after taxes & team, only banked $125k.

Lol, that's my twitter

Did that $6M come out of HBO's pocket?

No way, most likely most from Canadian ppv

Wtf pascal should have gotten like 70%

I paid for it but I'd be shocked if 20,000 others did too. We're 1/10th the population of usa, I can't imagine it making up a big chunk of the purses. Ringside seats were 500, anything decent was 160-250 so I'm guessing that contributed more.

Kovalev got paid!!

Kovalev isn't a small enough name to get that much as a traveling champ

Well I'd be surprised if HBO offered anything over their usual max of 3M for a fight, you're right though.

What're canadian PPV numbers usually like

[Dindu_Nuffin]

Probably some came from other networks too - Russian TV especially.

Some came from gate; some from Canadian PPV, and prolly around 3 from HBO.

stevenson won't fight kovalev doe because he doesn't bring any money. this proves that if you have confidence in yourself and fight the best you can always make more than if you cherry pick bums.

To be fair, that money comes mostly from Pascal, the Canadian PPV payers, and the crowd. No such thing as $6 million dollars would have been offered for Kovalev vs Stevenson. Maybe now it would, but certainly not before.

Not sure about that. Duva went against Kovalev's word that he only took home $125k. I believe the fighter more than the promoter. The fighter should know what he sees in his own bank account and there's no reason to be ungrateful and lie about what you took home. I'm happy for Kovalev, that he got that much money now.

Dang, I'm surprised Kovalev got that much. Good for him.
