        What else is new? It's the money, not the fight. It's always been that way. The more you press for it, the more expensive it becomes, which is normal. So why can't Duva just stop and move on? Give it up and look for other fighters.

            The only problem here is that Roc Nation and specially Jay Z dont know **** about boxing and they thought: Andre Ward - The Olympic Gold Medalist, he will be our money maker, a huge star, a fight with Kovalev will generate the most PPV of the year, at least 400-500k, as seen here: http://www.badlefthook.com/2016/11/9...r-kovalev-ward

            They signed Ward and paid him a contracted minimum per fight, and for the Kovalev fight it was $5 Million. Now the fight barely generated $4-5 Million altogether, meaning if both fighters got $1.5-2 Mill it would have been a fair split, thats the money the fighters are worth and they generate from gate, sponsors and PPV buys. Thats what Kovalev got, the money he is worth, a fair split.

            Roc Nation is totally new in the boxingscene and learned it the hard way, they lost millions on Ward, they will be losing a ton of money on Cotto and they are also losing money on Rigo.

            Jay Z probably realized that by now and said, oh Dre is not the star i thought he was, he has a terrible attitude, nobody really likes him but a certain demographic and they dont seem to buy tickets or buy PPVs. Dre stole my money, but thats enough now. Next fight you only get the cash you actually bring in.

            And now Dre, knowing he already got a gift in the first match, knowing he would probably lose the rematch, rather retires with the couple millions he stole.
            Nah.

            Jay-Z shouldn't have gotten in the business. Look at what is happening to the fighters he got: Rigo, Andrade, Ward...they're either being shunned or they are in the middle of bad deals (especially Rigo and Andrade).

            Cotto should not have signed with them in the first place because once he left Top Rank, he could have been his own promoter. He had enough star power.

              I'm a big Ward fan but if he does this I'm out! I know when to jump ship. Ward OWES it to KOV. to at least try and get HIS belts back.... Ward will NOT get in the HOF if he goes down this path. NO ONE will vote him in.

                ofcourse ward should get more money!

                going into the first fight kovalev was champion, he brought those belts to the table and ward challenged him. this time ward has those belts, he is bringing them to the table and giving kovalev at shot at his titles.

                if he is bringing more to the table he should be paid accordingly. simple as that.

                then there is the fact that he now holds a win against kovalev as opposed to them fighting for the first time. their repective checks should adapt to that change as well.

                i think duva is just trying to piss ward off and make him take a lesser offer in order to beat kovalev more convincingly and make a statement. ward isnt the kind of guy to fall for that though, he knows what he is worth and wont be compromised.

                  Does what though? They haven't even started preliminary talks. Duva is just smoke blowing.

                      HOF evaluation will consider Ward's achievements, NOTHING else

                      he has either..... achieved enough for HOF status, or not

                      it is impossible to go backwards.... if you're in, then you're in

                      this is just tard-fodder from Duva
