Comments Thread For: Ward-Kovalev Rematch: Paid Attendance Was Only 6,366

No it wouldn't you dumb fuck. Kovalev isn't a draw. The fight didn't sell well because of the ticket prices. If it was priced at Golovkin level prices it would have sold out. The average ticket price was $344.

Golovkin isn't a massive draw like you ******s think.

Don't need be ******, oh you can't help it. No one said massive draw, but he's a bonfire toxket seller. Anyone saying other is hating or dumb, or both.

Again, Ward can't sell out in Cali, not even Oakland. GGG sold out in Cali fighting ****ing Wade.

He sold out MSG. And had two other huge shows there.

Ward does shiiiit nmbets everwhere he goes.

Hell, even when ggg fights for free his audience waste Ward's.

Arguing about it is a ****ing joke. Ward fans are salty as **** no one like thanks cheat.

He sold out with $25 and $50 tickets.

You think ticket prices aren't a factor?

Wards biggest gates are 3.3 and 2.1 mil, Golovkins are 3.7 and 2.

Golovkin isn't so much of a greater draw.

Rocnation gave ward a 6.5mil purse so they priced the tickets high so they could pay for it

Terrible numbers

this is 50cent gamboa all over again. Rocnation dun goof'd.

Yeah this **** was a box office bomb.

It involved two top 5 pound for pounders, and does atrociously from both the gate and in PPV numbers.

Then next month a 41 year old will come out of retirement to face an 0-0 novice "boxer" and it'll literally do like 20 times the revenue. Hell that's a conservative estimate, too. It'll probably do more than that

[Mrbamladen]

Slow up son, you have a racist fighting a guy who hasn't won a top fight without cheating and fouling the crap out of his opponents.

Try all they want, fans are not ****** to buy into the Andre Ward act. His style is just short of Tyson biting ears. If they want mma they can get mma.

Correct me if I'm wrong. But wasn't it the "fans" who beat the drum for ward to move up and "test himself" against the Krusher instead of fighting ggg since 2015???? Was it not those same "fans" who didn't support this fight by not purchasing it??? Also......wasn't it those same "fans" who begged for this rematch??? Try to spin it anyway you want. But the bottom line is, ward gave the fans what they claim they wanted twice and instead of "fans" supporting, they support a weight cheat fighting a d level fighter with his famous father's name. Save the cheating fighter bs for the next time ward beats another one of your favorite fighters. I'm sure you claimed ward wouldn't fight kovalev, wouldn't give him a rematch, and I'm sure you watched both fights without paying a dime. Since you admit to not paying to watch a " mma fighter," what does your opinion even matter??

Yeah. Then three weeks after that, two more p4p fighters will fight for the middleweight belts and it also won't get a piece of what the fight with the 41 year old and the novice will do. Thanks to that fight....it might do just a little bit better than ward vs Kovalev 2 instead of the millions of ppv buys predicted earlier.

good point

as usual, Golovkin fans are here making fools of themselves

Ward is not supposed to be a draw, nobody ever said he was

we get that the casual fans don't like him, AND we get why

in saying that..... Ward/Kovalev averaged 150k, which is exactly what Golovkin sold with Lemieux in his only US PPV

that is IF you believe the (secondary) figures that were released..... because I heard that they sold 97,000

I thought that Gennady was this action-packed super-hero..... ?

should Golovkin fans REALLY be here bashin Ward's numbers?

it's not like Golovkin is pulling Canelo numbers or anything

Should Ward fans REALLY be here bashing Golovkin fans in a thread about Ward's ticket sales?

Proposition: Ward can't draw flies to ****

Response: B .. b .. b . b.. but .. Golovkin fans doe ..

You should have posted another two dunce hats with that statement, Isaac.

You have nothing to dispute FACTS. I love owning fools like you. You stay salty and have little digs like this.

[p4ptbe]

Kovalov needs to ask why he fights for free 1st... Then maybe his he can make some $$$$ in the WBS.

duva is a sweet talker she probably fooled him and his russian manager! callum smith just joined the WBS also! now the dirrell clown is screwed lmao
