How many years ago was this Andre Ward bull*****? GGG is 37 years old now. Maybe he's getting tired of getting down to 160.
That's why it didn't happen! That's why it could only happen @ 164! I'm not mad at him! Risk vs. Reward! Canelo and Cotto, coming up from 154, were lower risk, and higher reward!
Much higher reward. Much higher. He got a 45% of the fighters portion of the purse for the rematch. It was a more meaningful fight for a hell of a lot more money. I think Andre Ward only earned like $5 million for the first fight with Kovalev. GGG doubled that in the first fight with Canelo when he had a smaller portion of the cut. He had a 45% cut for the rematch which sold more than 3x what both Ward/Kovalev fights did combined and I think it was at a higher price point.
