Comments Thread For: Barrera Receives Offer on The Low Side For Andre Ward

[firstborn]

Kovalev purse was 1million but HE ended up with 300k, after tax, Promoter and Trainer etc.

No wonder he always seems like he's ready to kill someone! I'd be pissed too if thetas the actual breakdown of his purse

[aboutfkntime]

You think Barrera should be paid more than Kovalev earned against Hopkins?

No..... I said that I wasn't sure, but it sounded a bit low.

How much do you think the network made on that fight ?

[MrRolltide91]

He better take that money

The Dan Rafael that said Kovalevs purse was $500k?

Purses for #HopkinsKovalev: BHop $1M (plus % of profits), Kovalev $500k (plus % of profits), Ali $100k, Abregu $75k. #boxing

A lot of people in this thread are forgetting that Main Event's would take a % of whatever Barrera makes against Ward whereas they would not take a % of whatever Barrera makes against Kovalev.

Considering a promoter's percentage can be 30%, it's safe to say Barrera walks out with more money against Kovalev than he would against Ward even if the purses are the exact same.

ME will not work for nothing.

I'll wait to hear it from someone else. Sanchez is probably the most unreliable source of info in the biz. Perfect example, all the things he said on behalf of Genady that created so many problems and expectations.

and u know he dont want his fighter fighting ward and hes got to get the easy out by getting people on berrera side

[Cinci Champ]

$500-700k ?

For a high-profile bout against a top fighter ?

I really don't know.

I thought 300k sounded low, but really not sure these days.

ya who knows anymore we could complain about it but then u see some purses for people ggg and other hbo fighters fight and it sounds more legit. where is berrera gonna make more anyway
