Never Forget Main Events once paid Fonfara $1

Better fighters have been done worse. Be it too soon, too much weight they had to fight. The list goes on and on... I once saw a fight between a LWH vs. a WW... The WW was DESTROYED. He could only run for so long.

Kova this time win more than the 8 rounds you won the first fight and there will be nothing to complain about...

Kovalev got screwed over terribly by his manager and promoter. How is this possible at all?

[j0zef]

You can say Ward's a good businessmen and he played on Kovalev's desire to avenge himself.. Damn though, nothing guaranteed? Assuming it sells the same 160k as before, 160k * 65 =10.4m - 50% HBO = 5.2m, 5.2m*75%(Kov) = 3.9m for Kov, 8m for Ward.

Damn, Kathy screwed him.

That's what it amounts to. Don't blame Ward because your promoter couldn't hash out a better deal for you. You wanted the fight, you signed the paperwork. Don't complain now.

bigdunny1 I told you.

I totally change my view on this now. Kovalev definitely has a right to be upset if he has no minimum. But he upset with the wrong person. Don't be mad at jay-z be mad at Kathy and your self for signing this type of contract.

Lol why is he mad at Ward for getting more money wtf, Main events is the one ripping you off, Ward gets his deal done with RNS, RNS then negotiates with HBO

It just shows that RNS has Wards back n are willing to give more to the fighter then there own pockets

Who is dumber, Kovalev for not getting a guarantee or Roc Nation for paying Ward 6.5 million lol. Bunch of idiots all over this promotion.

Purse Discrepancy

Kovalev should be talking with Main Events about this. I would refuse to fight. A fighter should have an idea how much they are getting paid for their risk that they are taking.
