Comments Thread For: Arum: Kovalev-Yarde Will Go Wherever Most Money's Available

[Adamsc151]

All those accolades mean sweet FA to Joe public, most don't even know or care who ward is never mind kovalev. How many ppvs did there fights get? And it was supposed to be a huge p4p fight a rivalry and included one of the best p4p fighters of this generation yet did pathetic numbers. No one cares! About accolades. Isn't there a minimumweight guy with like the best record in boxing but No one cares. Not to say yarde is the Aside but really kovalev is not some kind of star selling out arenas and any minimal star power he had evaporate when ward beat him twice and Alvarez starched him

I see your point, Kovalev for some reason never had that star power despite the destruction left in his wake even before the losses to Ward - who also somehow had no star power despite being one of the best defensive boxers out there, it worked for Mayweather after all. The point I am making though is aimed more at the comments of Tunde Ajafi, Yarde's trainer. At this point in his career Yarde is an unproven prospect, who has fought literally nobody of note. How can he be considered the A-side against anyone other than a journeyman or another unproven prospect?
