Andre Ward offers Marco Antonio Periban a HBO-televised fight

[aldo5408]

Point is, Ggg has consistently given a very generous cut to the challenger. Ward should say, here's an extra 200k, and I'll take 1.8m cause he's having major issues finding credible opponents and even blown up bums won't come much cheaper than 300k on Hbo

Kov fought mohammedi for 275k brody
Is ward going to make 2M for this fight? I don't know what his new minimum is

We are talking about pull, who's the the more accomplished fighter and bigger draw? Who's the fighter Kovalev's been calling out, who's the fighter that can move up and get a shot without working his way up the rankings? It sure aint Barrera because he doesn't have the pull.

Have you ever wondered why that fighter doesn't just take the shot Kovalev is offering him, instead of messing around trying to do tune-ups against the likes of Periband, Brand, Barrera, and that Australian kid the NSAC turned down because it would have been such a mismatch?

Kov fought for 750k vs 275 for no name mando. Ward will be getting way more, though not all HBO money.

I think it's 2M for every fight. If you are making that kind of money and the opponent isn't making a minimum of 500K.....you are going to have a hard time finding any willing participants I think.

Who out there aside from Floyd Mayweather actually has any say in what their opponents are making? Let's not act like any of these fighters are sitting down going "well I think the guy i'm fighting deserves a bit more". I agree, it would be great of Ward to give up some of his purse to give to his opponent to secure a fight, but who in their right mind would. That's your managers job to get you more money.

He's a hardcore Wardhog......don't bother.

... and does it look to you like Ward is trying hard in finding any opponents for a fight soon?

I'm pretty sure team Ggg have done just that, give up some purse to sweeten the pot for the reluctant contenders. Not saying its the norm but Ward badly needs a decent opponent and a 10% paycut is a smart investment
