Comments Thread For: Kovalev Angry About Purse Discrepancy for Ward Rematch

According to Kovalev’s manager, Egis Klimas, Kovalev also feels that Ward intentionally has done less to promote the event because he dislikes Kovalev and knows he can affect his bottom line

Andre Ward had no idea what Kovalev was getting paid or that his pay would depend on PPV and ticket sales. Stop blaming Ward for Main Events not paying Kovalev.

If you know Ward dislikes Kovalev why would you leave it in Ward's hands to determine how much Kovalev could potentially make? This doesn't make any sense

I'm not a big Kovalev fan, but this sucks. How is it possible a professional boxer at the elite level gets paid basically nothing? Damn. Blame goes to his team.

Win or lose, he should shop around for a new, competent team. Main Events and Duva are incompetent.

Kovalev, however, will earn much of his pay from their rematch off revenue from pay-per-view and tickets sales.

Blame your promoter and manager. Bob Arum is even worse on the $. We all KNOW Duva is the TERRIBLE

I like ODH the best!!! We ALL saw how he only makes $$$$$ off of Canleo and loses $$$$$$ on the rest. Yet he still tries his hardest to promote the othe boxers like Diego, Lemuix, Matty...

Never Forget Main Events once paid Fonfara $1

*** Oscar tried putting Ortiz on TWO PPV events and the dude failed PED tests.

This guy has literally *****ed and moaned for 4 damn months. This man is really a hoe. And Ward is going to pimp him soon enough.

[Mukuro]

Damn, Main Events is pretty shady.

[Joe Beamish]

Kovalev can only blame himself. I'm about to write him off for this fight. His head may not be too clear
