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

[Eff Pandas]

Wtf. I guess Kovalev is ONLY in this for revenge & "to end Ward's career". He's legit f#cking ******ed too cuz its a hell of a gamble with not much upside cuz idk that there is some big money fight that looming if he does win.

I guess the fact he fought for nothing for however long with Egis this isn't THAT big a deal to him.

Musta been some good wording or no wording at all about money in that rematch clause.

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.

Because ****** contracts they gave to ward and cotto. Over paid to steal them away promising high guaranteed purses. If roc nation doesn't recoup on PPVs, ticket sales it's on them they on the hook for the loss. They don't want to pay ward that much for the rematch but he has a contract and they have to lmao

[The Hammer]

PPV revenue is going to be low for this event, lower than the first fight which was better-promoted.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's under 100,000 buys.

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.

What do you mean it's no big deal? He won't get a check after the fight. I think it's a big deal that fighters aren't getting a guarantee paycheck after doing their job, which is to fight. His money shouldn't shouldn't be based on the promoter doing their job.

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!

They can't refuse to disclose it. This is what the fighters will get paid at the end of the night when the fight is over. We're talking about their guarantee which is what the NSAC holds in escrow until the fight is over.

Jones agreed to that Vs Hopkins. **** didn't work out for him.

[Kigali]

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.

It only shows how dumb he is.

[Kigali]

Black privilege in American sports.

More like white russian ignorance in sports.



What a drunken cell phone thieving MORON.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Jones agreed to that Vs Hopkins. **** didn't work out for him.

And it was way more money in that fight than it is in this fight.
