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

I guess everybody forgot about this

Its alright man. Kovalev can enrich himself from Boxing Scene's moral support.

I mean would you rather make millions and be hated by the racists on this site or make nothing and be revered by the racists on this site?

Easy choice for me. I'd fight for free too.

Yeah I'm so racist I can't even keep it all in sometimes. My love for Kovalev seeps with my real ulterior motives about how I hate the Black Panthers or something.

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.

Each promoter get something like 22% of the PPV. So if this fight does 150k that's $1.98 mil and he has to split that with Main Events.

Just Duva not willing to risk a guarantee. Not a big deal, he's going to get paid.

How can ward be making more than last time after the poor PPV numbers? I don't believe it at all. Why would you take a percentage of a commercial disaster. This fight won't do big numbers.

Its alright, Kovalev is doing it for the love of the sport. He doesn't want to get paid. He a warrior doe.

Exactly he still going to get paid he just has to wait till after the fight to get the money. Not a big deal. The real shocker is ward getting paid MORE money even after the first fight flopped. WTF was Roc Nation thinking with those contracts they gave out? They just losing money every time Ward fights. Cotto already jumped ship once ward retires or finishes his contract you will never hear about roc nation in boxing again.

Likely refuse to disclose it hmmm that means it is a total that they know if they release it might cause a uproar from Kovalev Fans! I'm going to guess 3 Million or Less!

Ward gets PAID every time he steps into the ring yet you have people worried about if he is a Superstar. He might not be a Crossover Superstar but his Pay Checks Are That Of One!
