Mayweather double standards when he talks about Ward and Golovkin

When did Andre Ward "admit to be at least 180+ against Paul Smith"; since you were so quick to add sources, I figured that you'd have that source as well.that's not correct. Sorry to make you come down to reality, but Kovalev fight night weight oscilates between 180-189. You have several links on the matter:

While Andre Ward admitted to be at least 180+ against Paul Smith. So fighthing in the complete LHW limit he would probably be around 185.
There's no significative weight difference at all.
The IBF having the mandated second-day weigh-in made sure that Kovalev had a cap of 10lbs over the division limit on the day-of; the fact that he was ****-on the limit means he didn't fully re-hydrate. 189 makes more sense.
If Sergey Kovalev is a fight fit ~190lbs, what do you imagine he weighs when not fight fit?Comment

You budget for a fight. Lou Dibella, in putting on Jacobs-Quillin, had to budget for the show, figuring out how much money could be generated from the show and what it would cost to put on the entire show.haha I KNEW you would get amnesia and try to change what you were saying. Just a few posts ago you were trying to claim that the US tv rights alone would cover the whole show, expenses, and some profit too.
But NOW you suggest a rights fee between $2.5 and $3 million, for a show where the 2 tv fights by themselves cost $3.3 million. And theres still an undercard and venue and other expenses to pay.
Face it. Youre a complete tool who runs your mouth about things you dont know the first thing about. You're dumber than a box of hair.
Or maybe you know more about promoting than Dibella does
For a marquee fight like Jacobs-Quillin, the US TV rights fee likely brought in 70%, or more, of the revenues for the show, with the net from the gate, sponsors, international rights, etc covering the rest.
For a "run of the mill fight", say a fight on Solo Boxeo, ShoBox, or a Friday Night Fights, 90% of the money budgeted for the fight comes from the TV rights fee.
If you honestly believe that a promoter is going to hang his hat on how many tickets they can get people to buy to see unnamed prospects vs tomato can on ESPN2, then it's no wonder why no one has ever heard of your "production" company.
This Friday, i believe, Showtime will air another ShoBox card, featuring 15-0 prospects just short of being quality prospects; near none of the revenue from that show will be coming from ticket sales, event sponsors, or any other side revenue streams. Whether the show breaks even or not will be based on how well that show's promoter was able to finance everything within the confines of what Showtime was willing to pay for the ShoBox broadcast.
What international interest is this weekend's ShoBox card going to draw? What sponsors are going to be clamoring to put money behind fighters that aren't event fringe top prospects just yet? Who is actually going to be buying a ticket to head to the show?
For someone who wants to claim ties to being a promoter, you're a ****ing idiot.Comment

1) it was posted here this week, I won't search for it. Ward was saying that he thought Paul Smith was far from 180 while he was at least 180.When did Andre Ward "admit to be at least 180+ against Paul Smith"; since you were so quick to add sources, I figured that you'd have that source as well.

If Sergey Kovalev is a fight fit ~190lbs, what do you imagine he weighs when not fight fit?
2) Who gives a **** a what weight Kovalev is in the off-season? what matters is his weight in fight night and I showed you links to prove he's around 180-190.Comment
