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

[bigdunny1]

That's peasant thinking.

who are you to say who's overpaid??? you scab.

Roc Nation said they overpaid you haymon dyck sucker. They refused to pay the money they owed cotto and had to agree to a buy out. They just fired their match maker because they can't afford to pay employees because the money they overpaid to 2 fighters. If you paying fighters to the point you lose money every fight you promote and can't even pay your employees then you overpaid your fighters. Now stop quoting me go troll someone else.

Kov is still adamant that he will fight Stevenson, just not for who will pay them both the most. He demands Stevenson take a fraction of what he should get, and then blames Stevenson because Showtime will pay them too much. When you refuse to fight someone because you claim they want to pay you too much, then you have no right to be crying about money. Talk to Kathy. And no you don't make what everyone else does, because everyone else goes to the highest bidder. Kov goes to HBO no matter what, that is why HBO and Duva screw him, because they can and then Kov's fans get on and say everyone is ducking Kov and hyping Kov up for demanding less money. Now he is underpaid??? Then how about, you offer the fight to the highest bidder? He was getting paid too much to fight Superman and now he is getting paid too little to fight Ward. Kov is Kathy's lil b*tch so much it is pathetic.

I hope Kovalev ends this dude's career.

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.

He's mad at coWARD and he'll be treating him like a heavy bag during a rage out session on Sat night.

Wowwww....this is beyond bad!

Ward is getting overpaid and getting all of these sponsors despite rarely fighting and having no fanbase at all basically not to mention he has an unpleasant fighting style that fits more into MMA!

Kovalev needs to fire everyone on his team, from top to bottom!

By now he should be a superstar with his fighting style, attitude, and willingness to promote his own fights.. I mean he promotes his own fights better than his own gotdamn trash ass promoter!

Kind of feel a itty bitty bad for Kov here, he's getting screwed and his promoter is trying to reflect her own misdeeds onto Roc Nation!

Wouldn't be surprised if his manager is in on this and gets a decent cut to keep Kov out of the loop, I mean how as an elite fighter you don't know what your paycheck will look like?!!..

Doubt many fighters will sign with Main Events when this story breaks out and more fighters will want to sign with Roc Nation since they overpay! Lmfao,

Kov is gonna try to kill Ward in there holy hell!

Another lousy peasant minded scab with the nerve to deem a prizefighter overpaid from his keyboard.

Sorry broke ass mofo

Rage out sessions don't work in boxing stumpy.

[bigdunny1]

He has no one to blame but himself. Be agreed to these terms knowing that neither he nor Ward are big PPV attractions.

It's not ward's fault Kovalev has a manager and promoter that should be looking out for him instead both made him sign a shyt contract. Barrera manager had him walk away from a shyt deal that Kathy tried to shove down his throat. I blame his manager first and his cheap promoter second. Kathy got fighters left and right barking about the money they getting. Not a good look for future fighters who are watching this saying no chance I sign with them.

Leave your sex life out of this.

Haymon must have traumatized you in some way...your hatred for the man is irrational.

75% is pretty standard split. Duva just isn't putting up a guaranteed purse so she doesn't lose money if it flops badly. It's not that big of a deal.
