Obviously you didn't know how the business worked or else you wouldn't have been such an utter failure

I've posted with OnePunch for many years now. And while I don't always agree with him he is far from a failure and has seen a side of the sport 99.9% on here have not. He may not be a Don King or Bob Arum, but he's done well if you follow and know how things work.

If the PPV doesn't sell very well, Roc Nation may decide promoting Andre Ward isn't worth losing money on.

And vice versa for Kovalev and Main Events. Why invest in a guy who isn't willing to promote himself?

[Feint First]

Ward guaranteed at least $6 million and Kovalev will get 3 goats, a donkey, and half a bottle of vodka

Kovalev getting paid so little Main Events too embarrassed to list out his contract amount. Super promoter Kathy Duva is bleeding him dry and running his career into the ground.

It's crystal clear who the B side is in this matchup.

Don't make Kovalev angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry.

... too late.........................

Is Russia really so poor or boxing is just not big enough there that Kovalev can't get any kind of rights on the Russian feed? Maidana was given rights on the Argentian feed when he fought Mayweather, if I remember correctly.

... in case he wins, Kovaliov will get paid back home... in cash...

These yanky fanboys never stop ceasing to amaze me

This is an investment in Ward Rock Nation ain't gonna let him lose this fight.....

Are they going to go in the ring and fight for him? I must have missed that part of it.

[bojangles1987]

Kovalev has taken short money for the right fights his entire career. It's a damn shame but it's a big reason I respect him so much as a fighter.

[Nightfall]

he should be angry at his own dam management team. idiot

[Ake-Dawg]

I'm still trying to figure out how all these people are so sure that Roc Nation is losing money. I keep hearing the references to Ward and Cotto being overpaid. When is the RNS demise that has been predicted going to happen. Are they losing money or using boxing to promote other ventures? Can one of these accountants and MBAs tell me?
