So Ward wants part of the PPV cut from Cotto-Canelo

[ИATAS]

Andre "Winky" Ward

[Cinci Champ]

lets be fair here ward been trying to tell the public for years that ggg didnt want to fight him and he understood it. then when **** got real he said ok lets do it then and ggg ducked it is what it is ward wants the fight ggg dont now ward will have to goto 175 to fight kovalev which he will at some point and do what ggg was scared to do

[spytactics]

I've always disliked Ward and this further cements my dislike towards him. Cotto and Canelo are putting together this tremendous show and this fat **** of a Ward wants a piece of their pie? I would let Ward rot in his own feces, the man is truly a bag of shlt. Another boring, lazy, **** who thinks he is entitled to grandeur because of what he accomplished in the distant past. Get over yourself, Ward.

His career revolves around little g now though and that's no bueno! He's not realistically getting him till late 2016, early 2017. What's he gonna do in the mean time?? I say fight Pascal and then Kovalev.

This **** has nothing to do with GGG. This just shows how delusional Ward has become about his self worth and it's becoming clear that it's increasingly getting hard to work with him. You're boy just doesn't get it and neither do his groupies.

[boliodogs]

That is pretty out there.

Yeah Ward, your massive fan base is so important to the success of a PPV between two of the best known Latino boxers in the world. Great main even + 2 big Latino draws, but what they really need is that Ward juice

To make it even more ridiculous, I bet he will be fighting another can.

Absolutely Ward will be fighting another can. That's all he fights anymore on the very rare occasions he fights at all.

Andre Ward is the biggest joke in boxing today.

[Scipio2009]

Is this guy the second most delusional guy in boxing behind Khan or what?

He can't draw flies to shi** but he wants a piece of the ppv sales to be an undercard fighter on it lol...

This guy is some kind of joke.

Meanwhile GGG is selling out 20,000 seats at MSG...

There goes that 50-50

Getting Andre Ward onto the Cotto-Canelo PPV will likely cost ~$2m for the fight (~$1.75m to Ward, ~$250k for an opponent for Ward); Floyd Mayweather had to pay out ~$2.2m to get Garcia-Matthysse as the co-feature on the Mayweather-Alvarez PPV, and adding Ward to the bill should have that kind of impact.

Once that gets settled, it's simply a matter of how RocNation finances getting Ward onto the PPV; front the cost for Ward, or don't front the cost but get him a piece of the upside.

Cotto-Alvarez
Ward-TBA
Miura-Vargas
-fourth fight

You pull the payouts to Canelo, Cotto and Ward, and you probably finance the rest of the bill with $1m (completely ignore the MGM site fee to host the fight at Mandalay Bay, as that was already split between Cotto and Alvarez).

Price the PPV $60sd/$70hd; fight clears 800k PPV buys and, after all the various payouts to other parties, you've got $25m to divvy up.

$1.75m off of the $25m in proceeds comes out to about 7% (if the fight proves to be as big as Oscar seems to believe it to be, that number could be down at 5%).

$2m up front or 5% off of the proceeds on the fight isn't that bad of a choice.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Ok so Ward is out Oscar will never agree to that, add Joshua Clottey vs James Kirkland

Kirkland v angulo 2

[Build That Wall]

Thats fine. Just as long as the Headliners are getting the bulk of the split. Yuck. It ****** having to say that Canelo and Cotto should get paid more than Ward. Though they deserve it more than Ward, Ward is clearly light years better than both fighters.
