Official Fight purses Ward $6.5 mil Kovalev $0, nada, zilch

[The Hammer]

Kovalev's pay is based strictly on ticket sales and PPV revenue.

Black privilege in American sports.

Can we get more details on what is this piece of paper and why purses and supervisors would be on there written by hand? And not professionally made contracts typed on a computer?

It's the guaranteed purses info submitted to the commission. Not the contracts.

[Motorcity Cobra]

I seen that. Im still calling bull****.

What motivation does Rafael have to lie?

Black privilege in American sports.

Well maybe he needs to sign with James Prince or Haymon

[Vlad_]

Is it possible the amount is yet to be determined or finalized, or simply undisclosed? If it was ZERO then why wasn't a 0$ written on it. Anyways strange...

I heard the conspiracy theory that Ward was deliberately not promoting the fight well (skipping interviews and such) in order to spite Kovalev, whose purse is 100% tied to sales

Anyway no one can question that Kovalev is a true fighting man. He took on B-Hop for like $150k and now Ward for who knows what

[Motorcity Cobra]

I call bull****. Theres no way he agreed to that.

Lol that can't be real

There is no way

That just can't be. If It was true It would show how bad Kovalev wants to get his hands on Ward for a second time.

I guess everybody forgot about this

But Kovalev is the one who skipped an interview and walked out of the press conference.

[Pigeons]

Ward is a mother****ing G. Got $5M last time, fight flopped financially. And somehow pulls $6.5M for the rematch.

Kovalev pulled $2M last time and will be lucky to see $1M this time.

Ward $11.5M vs. Kovalev $3M. Ward damn near quadrupling Kovalev's purses.
