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

[The Hammer]

SOG has earned a little over $15 mill since his comeback 2 years ago, a business genius.

No, he's a privileged prima donna.

HBO isn't paying him these crazy amounts it's almost all directly out of roc nation pockets.

Sweet...and right into Ward's pockets.

[Kigali]

think about that. Ward getting $6mill. Thurman and Garcia got $2mil each for their fight. Ward got their combined purses PLUS 50%. I guess HBO is where you want to be. Maybe thats why Haymon's guys like Chavez, Wade, Khan, Arroyo etc had to go to HBO to get career high paydays

HBO is on it's death bed

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.

James Prince. Rap-A-Lot! Rap-A-Lot! I wonder what James Prince's cut of that figure.

Probably less than *****'s cut of Kovalev's purse.

Good boxer, terrible businessman.

Rigo only getting 120K,that ain't too much either for a guy already 36,should have taken the 4xtimes the amount Arum offered him to fight Lomachenko,500000 don't look so bad right now,specially since none of the other are still not willing to fight him

Ward and Cotto were just in the right place at the right time. Jay-z came in with big money and these guys were free agents and he overpaid to steal them away hoping that would attract other fighters to come. Years later they haven't signed another relevant fighter and are their way out of business.

Yeah, from my perspective Roc Nation wont go anywhere and will probably leave the boxing business in the foreseeable future.
Ward gets overpaid. Cotto gets overpaid and left the company. Rigondeaux doesnt sell.
As you said, they dont even sign any new boxers, and when I look at boxrec, they only had 2 events in 2017.
One is Andre Ward vs Kovalev II and the other one is was a small show on CBS Sports Network with unknown fighter.

Like many people, he was at the right place at the right time....Adrien Broner couldve made more if he just got out of his own way

SO that's the bar Ward's genius surpassed, not be Adrien Broner.

Probably less than *****'s cut of Kovalev's purse.

lol prince is extorting the **** out of andrea!!!
