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

[Cutthroat]

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.

Lower weight classes are easy to market, earning what SOG has at 168-175 is rare, only Calzaghe and RJJ come close. Ward is one of the highest earners in that weight class ever.

Hard for me to believe this is real, but then again Boxing is always surprising us.

he earned it because he was good, not because of his genius negotiating skills......he was good, won the super six(which was meh financially because of the injuries and pullouts) and then ken hershman brought him to HBO to milk that titty....then he was there for another sugar daddy In JZ trying to play at boxing because he has so much money, he might as well flush it down the toilet.......Ward needed no genius, he was just there.....his merit is being good at boxing.... the size of his purses is mainly down to some rich guys liking him for that.

Lower wights easy to market? there' no easier weight to market than HW......you just need to be entertaining, whihc boxers today are too afraid of being because the system of the sport (and sometimes the nature of the sport itself) punishes them for it

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...

Kinda what i was thinking. Funny how people immediately jump to the most extreme conclusion on nsb.

OnePunch can you break it down for us

my info is that Roc and Main Events are doing a revenue split (one source said 50-50, the other source didnt know the split percentage) and then Main Events side gets split 75-25 Kovalevs way......

Assuming the fight does similar numbers to last time, Main Events and Kovalev should be splitting up somewhere between 4 and 5 million. Roc Nation on the other hand will probably lose a couple of million......

Likely scenario:

Ward: $6.5 million
Kov: $3 million
Main Events: $1 million
Roc Nation: minus $2 million


Edit: Revenue share deals are not all that uncommon. Golden Boy and Canelo have an 80-20 deal Canelo's way. The only real difference here (other than 5%) is that Golden boy, as the lead promoter, is in a position to provide guarantees to Canelo. Main Events is not.

Kov going make some of that money go to Wards health insurance!

Its time he jumped shipped especially if he wins in good fashion! He's outgrown Main Events now!
