Remember, "bitter"? You made dozens, maybe hundreds of posts hating on the man and you pretend you're not bitter? You guys that hate on fighters ALWAYS end up looking ******. It comes with the territory so suck it up princess and maybe consider showing fighters a little respect if you don't like being embarrassed afterward.
Anyhow, you're clearly out of argument so go ahead and get in the last word. I won't pick on your anymore tonight. Promise.Comment

Picking someone to win doesn't mean you wanted them to win. That's not how it works. The posts Redd Foxx highlighted are explicitly state your feelings. It's plain to see.Comment

You got buried In this thread. Just because you are "disappointed" with Wards PPV sells doesn't mean It Is necessary to attempt to down play other fighters PPV sells. Especially fighters like Pacquiao who Ward couldn't even think of competing with when It comes to selling.Remember, "bitter"?

On that note
Put your money where your big mouth Is and let's bet some real money on whether or not Golovkin's next PPV does better than 130,000 or If he will continue to pull numbers similar to Wards.
As far as respect, I didn't like Ward at all before last Saturday night but he did something that many of us didn't think was possible and that was stop Kovalev. He Is a great fighter who I would actually like to see fight again, but not on PPV because he never was or never will be a PPV fighter and I can assure you that no promoter Is going to stick their neck on the chopping block for him again.Comment

Go back and read, I clearly said that I wanted Kovalev to win but picked Ward. What does "that's not how It works" mean exactly? You never watched a fight where you wanted one guy to win but knew the other guy was more likely to win?Picking someone to win doesn't mean you wanted them to win. That's not how it works.

"Hiding his real purse"Why are you acting like this? you know pretty damn well that Ward made the money he made because Roc Nation payed for everything. The fight was never word more than 2 millions max for each fighter.
And to me it's pretty obvious that Kovalev is making more than 700k. Maybe for taxes or whatever reason they are hiding his real purse. He would not be that ******.
Ward woule be making a 1-2 million purse aswell if it wasn't because Roc Nation decided to overpay him. And now they leave him.
Oh and BTW, GGG-Jacobs sold more PPVs and did better gate. Don't forget that. Jaaaaaaaaacobs.
GGG -> bigger draw.

Ward may have tried to warn him, but Ward was also negotiating against him, so it's kinda just Ward saying he beat him at the table. Isn't that just a bit like rubbing salt on the wound?Early indications on Kovalev-Ward II PPV numbers: Low. Looking like 130K range, industry sources tell Y! First fight generated 160K buys.

That puts Kovalev's pay in the $700,000 range.
Ward tried to warn him
@KrusherKovalev You better check them numbers before you go putting your name on contracts. They got you again. SMH. #YouHave2Wait

He's not wrong that Kovalev should be unhappy with some of the work ME has done for him though.Comment

He called you bitter. You used picking Ward as a retort. Picking him doesn't stop you from being bitter, because you are. That much is plain to see.Comment

Remember everybody was saying Broner, Wilder, and Thurman was ****** for turning down that Roc Nation money? Now everybody is saying Roc Nation is ****** for paying Ward that type of money.Comment
