Purses: Canelo: 5M, GGG: 3M

[Diego Rodriguez]

Pretty crazy that Ward got $5M and $6.5M vs. Kovalev after looking at those purses.

I'm sure their final pay will be no where near close Ward and Kovalev. Either guy alone will make more than the two combined I'd guess.

Roc Nation was willing to lose money in order to create a star.

And these are the guarantees. With PPVs and rights for other countries they will make much more. Those 5 and 6.5 millions are Ward's totals.

Looks like I read @GGGBoxing purse incorrectly: It is $3 million pic.twitter.com/ENas9T1918

Guaranteed purses kid. They will make more than that.

[Danebrogen]

You can buy a lot of gypsy tears for 3 million dollars.

[Wolfie*]

Heard Canelo is projected to get 50 million.

That's why they don't have to make one million PPV sales to make decent profit from this fight.
At 300K they could more than cover the guarantees, including production and promotion expenses.
These guys are not as greedy as you know who.

That's probably why you're hearing rumblings of Roc Nation folding up.

TBH GBP isn't in a much better position either. If Canelo gets stopped and retires, there goes the ship.

I defend Canelo daily on this forum here so I should be getting around a 10-15% cut

I saw Iole post 6 mil to 2 mil.

$5M and $6.5M were Ward's guarantees.

Ward alone had a $6.5M guarantee for Kovalev II. Canelo and Golovkin have a combined guarantee of $8M for the most anticipated boxing match in over 2 years.

Ward > Canelo + Golovkin
