Ward-Kovalev II PPV buys trending around 130k

[Motorcity Cobra]

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

These two fighters mean nothing when It comes to selling PPV'S.

Kovalevs a warrior. He just fights for the love of boxing.

Honestly a fight like this should be able to do 500k ppv buys

[Redd Foxx]

That's actually little bit of a relief to me. At least it didn't fall to the 100k or below range, which I felt might happen once everyone started talking about Mayweather.

[Larry the boss]

sad..but in all honesty fights like this should be on regular HBO or Showtime...They try to put every damn thing on ppv now

That Is still a very dismal number considering Ward Is a p4p fighter.

130,000 PPV buys

Dang, worse than the first 160,000 PPV buys.

Roc Nation losing money left and right. Had to pay Cotto a bunch of money to release him from his contract and now took another loss.

Should have just been a standard HBO fight but Ward demands large guarantees when no one cares about him. He tanked both these PPVs hard..

Yeah but Ward wants big guarantees despite not drawing flies to ish. He might single-handedly bankrupt TR lol
