Ward is taking a huge paycut to make this fight happen.

Purses from Oakland: Andre Ward $850k, Alexander Brand $30k. Not a typo. #boxing #WardBrand

Per @danrafaelespn, Ward will make $850K vs. Brand. Been told HBO paid less than 1/3 of that 4 license fee. Good thing Beyonce makes big $$$

My agenda by showing Ward is taking a **** payday? My agenda by clowning this fight by saying I could've bought the fight? My agenda by posting the topic about Ward's tickets being sold on Groupon? What exactly is my agenda? And I'm also the one who posted the Golovkin-Brook odds are closer than Ward-Brand and Spence-Bundu

[The Hammer]

Brand is only getting paid $30,000 to be on HBO.

Poor bastard.

Your agenda is by slating triple ggg and a random comment about a degale fight and then in another post and it being about Andre ward...that's the answer son

[Prince Madison]

ward should be paying people to watch this ****, not getting paid for it himself

Yes. I have a bias towards facts. I'm still waiting on you to post them in the thread I asked for them. Instead you deflect and come in here.

$30k must leave a fighter feeling very sour. I bet Brand's motivation is up to the sky. That's a sad purse. I mean what is that after taxes, manager's cut, corner, etc? $8k? If that

[Dean_Razorback]

850k for fighting brand is a shit payday?

[Ivansmamma]

850 k seems like fair money for fighting Russel Brand, not like Ward has a huge following. Kovalev should earn him more money, even if Kovalev ain't a big draw it's still the top fighters in the division facing each other... It's hard for Brand not earning more but Boxings is only ever good to the top 0.1 % of fighters...

[SugarRayCurtain]

by the time brand pays of his management team and trainer he'll have nothing left
not to mention the time and cost for fight preparation
Oh well, even if he puts a decent effort against ward it will help his career. Maybe become the tough gatekeeper type
