Why not Kovalev vs. Ward on the Cotto-Alvarez PPV?

[The Hammer]

That would make sense, wouldn't it?


Or will Princess Ward want to fight some super middleweight guy coming off two losses at a catch weight of 173 or something like that? (in Oakland, of course).

The same reason we won't see Ward vs Golovkin on the undercard of a fight.

[The Problem Child]

Ward just pulled 300K on his last fight, he needs to get credentials before earning a short at Kovalev or Golovkin. I'm not interested in Ward as a fan, he is pretty much a nobody and needs to become relevant and build himself. He is not big enough.

[The Big Dunn]

I think Kov /Huck would be an undercard fight. Ward/Kov is a headline fight that should happen after Ward/GGG.

What about Ward /Huck?

[PK3434]

Because that is probably at least $6Million of purse money with one fighter who is on the verge of being a star but isn't quite there yet and another fighter who brings no extra ppv buys to the table and only got 300K viewers on his last fight.

[MDPopescu]

... so if no Ward/GGG, then no Ward/Kova, right?
... Dre has a plan, so everybody must comply, right?
What else?...

[New England]

a 5+ million dollar undercard ?


ward and kovalev are going to fight on their own ppv in a year or so.

this is the rhetoric of somebody who is genuinely afraid for his guys.

[John Locke]

Kovalev vs Ward will probably be worthy of a PPV on it's on by this time next year, as long as Ward stays active and maybe gets a decent win under his belt at 175, maybe against Pascal?
