Or maybe they offered him 3M. How do you know it was 5M?

Six million is more than reasonable for Kovalev. He only made about $2M+ to fight Ward the first time and maybe less in the rematch. There just isn't a lot of money to be made at 175. Canelo will be bringing in the PPV sales for this fight. Kovalev/Ward only did 160K and 125K sales in their fights.

What was Big Baby getting again? $8M, $10M?

But idk if I'd call THAT low. They were overpaying Big Baby to get a great opponent for a NY fight for a guy debuting in the US. This is a guy who's HUGE in the US fighting. And I'd bet its a career high best payday even if it is less than Big Baby got.

1-2M. But Canelo should offer him more. How much more? I would say something around 5M.

5 million not enough? GTFOH does Cathy Duval expect CAnelo to pay her 5 mil as well???

Big Baby was getting like 6 million.

Kovalev deserves more because he’s the reason the fight is so big.

If wasn’t the WBO light heavyweight champion and if he wasn’t a former top 3 p4p type guy, this wouldn’t be a super fight.

So he should tell Canelo to shove his lame offer where the sun don’t shine. Because who’s Canelo going to fight? The only other option is GGG, a fight Canelo doesn’t want to make. Nothing else out there makes any sense.

Canelo paydays are supposed to be good so I can't disagree.

Yes Kovalev is such a draw, he'd be the reason the fight is big.

Kovalev is not getting $6 million.

If they offered him $2.5 million to $3 million he should grab on to it like grim death.
