Comments Thread For: Roc Nation Exec: Nobody Knows Kovalev; Can't Sell Tickets, PPV

[Fabes88]

lol I'm not buying this bs for one second. Ward is the one who should be selling way more ppvs than he is if the fight under performs its on him

[Bronx2245]

The truth of the matter is that Ward vs. Kovalev should have never been a PPV fight! Ward vs. Kovalev is no better than Thurman vs. Garcia, or Spence Jr. vs. Brook, or Broner vs. Garcia, and definitely not as big as Joshua vs. Klitschko! Thank GOD for that "firestick!"

they do have a point about duva on the 24/7 show talking about how the crowd was pro ward

u know some of the warriors are gonna be in the building tonight to support

also before the ward fight kovalev sold only 2 thousand tickets for his fight against some guy.... Was that wards fault also lmfao...

Kov needs to leave Main Events but I feel it's too late!

He's 34 and he doesn't speak English!

175 doesnt really have star power and Kov should be a superstar thanks to his attitude, fighting style, willingness to promote his own fights, and he just wants to kick ass!

Main Events suck, I wonder if he'd be bigger if he was with Haymon, Golden boy or even K2!

that's the truth of the matter too. As soon as that floyd-conor fight was announced....bam it starting getting headlines all across the media spectrum. Why? Well, floyd is the most known name in boxing and even his last fight flopped. It's because of conor, ufc swamps boxing in terms of popularity and it's not even close.

The ppv is to cover the outrageous pay that "son of fraud" demanded for the rematch. His team will end up losing money as they always do and are hoping to mitigate the losses with ppv revenue. Kovalev's entire check is dependent on the success of the event.......don't expect him to be seeing much money off of this. Greed and schitty ripoff decisions is killing this sport.

mayweathers last fight sold more than canelo vs smith and the same as canelo vs khan.....

listen up? Americans hate russians with a deep hatred. Most americans hate other nationalities but that is more like hating flies or ants. But america's hate for russia is deep. Kovalev is not wanted in the usa.

ggg is considered russian by americans also and he sells 10 times more tickets than this angry bitter russian kkkovalev.... Ggg is a good person so the general public embraces him more than this bitter old sore loser russian kkkovalev.....

Lol this isn't true at all.

The hell is ain't. America's hate for all russians is overwhelming and true. Russians are a vile cold dreary group of atheists and commies out to destroy democracy and religion in the USA. Kovalev represents all things Russians to Americans and thusly Kovie is hated a lot. screw Russia screw ***** that fairy leader and screw Kovalev that miserable sob commie. God Bless the USA.

somebody should remind this guy that he is promoting andre wart

this whole article he promoted ward in a great way i thought... He exposed kathy duva the lying twat for saying kovalev is some big star.... His last fight before the ward fight only sold 2 thousand tickets..... Duva herself said 90% of the fans cheering in the first fight were for ward.... Bashing the opponent while promoting your own fighter pretty much what boxing is these days

These comments man that's a great way to sell your PPV. Anyone who hears this is going to want to run out and buy it now lol

Lord roc nation is terrible. Steve Kim tweeted yesterday that a source told him after this fight the entire PR department is being let go. Can't afford to pay them, 3 weeks ago they fired their match maker. They folding up by the end of the year. Main Events sucks too. It's a shame this fight has the worst 2 promoters in boxing right now.
