[i got the keys]

And MMA guys keep saying boxing is dead when the majority of the MMA 'stars' don't make that much.

Forbes is way off with #3 for Ward and #4 for Kovalev.

Ward was fighting for peanuts on BET not long ago, and HBO paid only $300K license fee for his last fight. He's not making $.

Same for Kovalev. Fights in empty arenas all the time. Small-time promoter Main Events can't generate any publicity or ticket sales. Kovalev hasn't made more than $750K for a fight in his entire career.

Andre Berto makes more money than both of them.

... Andre Ward made $2m for his fight against Paul Smith on BET, $1.85m to fight Barrera on HBO, and a rumored $850k for the Brand fight (the discrepency in the numbers is odd; get the impression that Ward possibly picked up a share on the event as a promoter but who knows), so not sure what you're talking about.

So how long have you been Andre's publicist?

Or are you just gullible?

Just because a promoter tells Rafael that the fighter will make $850K and Rafael prints it doesn't make it true.

Canelos gate alone made 4x the money Golovkin made against Brook. He's the D-side.

Wow, I didnt realize that the stadium owner donated his facility for free!

Fishnets is a genius and Jerry Jones is an idiot said no-one ever!

This fight will be the third major fight at the Cowboys' football stadium, with the previous two drawing at least 45,000 each, according to Jones. Although Jones said he will not be taking a cut of the Pay Per View proceeds, he said he will be selling the tickets and that "we basically get ours off selling popcorn."
