Comments Thread For: Kovalev on Low PPV: Hardly Anyone Pays To Watch Boring Ward!

[Larry the boss]

he is sounding real bitter now

[JakeTheBoxer]

Kovalev, stop crying, man up, fight Stevenson or Gvozdyk, or Alvarez or beterbiev, take another KO win, that will sell the rematch.

A person who barely knows English brings less attention than a person who's native in America. If you don't agree with this fact it's not the reason to get emotional like a female and talk **** on the internet. Pacquiao situation was different

He had a solid Asian American/Fillipinos fanbase who could relate to him (potential fanbase of Russian emmigrants in America who could relate to Kovalev would be much smaller) plus Pac defeated boxing superstar like De La Hoya and plenty of Mexicans with solid fanbase and his rivalry with the other superstar Floyd was easy to promote

Did you read the article?

Kovalev is claiming that in America there are as many people who speak Russian as there are Mexicans and that those people support him.

So you can't use that as an excuse.

So what? You act like that was my interview or my words. I can use it, because it's not my opinion and I don't agree with Kovalev on this, and what he said about Russian population in US is far from truth

I agree that the majority of PPV buys probably were from Kovalev crowd because I really don't trust the Ward fanbase those are the type of 'hardcore' fans who would rather stream the fight for free because they care about boxing.
Kovalev has been giving entertaining fights pretty consistently, he was the world champion and even in this fight he was the only one making it what it was it would have been much more boring If Ward got his way and that's not due to Ward schooling him more so due to Ward fouling and cheating throughout the fight but Kovalev dealt with Ward well.

Really is sad that Ward has no fans, couldn't attract flies to shiet.

this idiot got walked down by a lite punching smaller fighter "after he knocked him down", and he has the audacity to criticize. you were exposed and could not make any adjustments. one dimensional.

So you're saying that Kovalev is a liar, then?

Stop sending me that mother****ing pic all the time. I've already said that Latin fighters is the only exception out of that rule because they got the biggest fanbase in States who always backs them up and supports them no matter what, Canelo who doesn't even speak English would be a good example of that, the size of Russian popluation in America isn't nowhere near as big as Latin American population in US, it's a statistical fact, despite of what Kovalev said.

Fighters from other countries doesn't have the same fanbase in America to rely on
