Ward - Kovalev II does about 130k ppv buys

Kovalev had his titles, pride and his "0" robbed from him, now he has next to no revenue to show for it.

Shameful

 

Reading that it's kovolev I feel sorry for!

 

Yikes. Would these have made money if Kov got a guarantee of say $3 million?

 

A day or two after writing my prediction, I remember thinking it'll do less than before.
It's VERY sad that it has only done 130k. Other than Loma-Rigo, this was THE best fight to make where H2H ability is concerned (certainly better than Canelo-Golovkin). Shame.

Eddie Hearn is right, he'd have been able to do 300k+ buys for it. Roc Nation president doesn't seem like he knows how to sell a fight - he resorted to direct character assassination of Sergey Kovalev to make it worse. Kathy just relies on the channels built by her father and just rides off his success without tweaking the business from a grass roots level.

Kovalev is about to be paid a peanut.

 

He put himself in that dumb business deal it's not shameful he got exactly what he negotiated.

 

Ward doesnt sell. Kovalev doesnt sell. What did you expect?

Regarding kovalev earning few money, that's his fault, noone else's. Anyway he never did a lot of money, he just doesnt know how to sell himself. He should have gone full golovkin, and should have never fought ward untill the moment of cashing out at the end of his career, he's not as good as he thinks he is.

 

Kovalev was the one who started all of the character assassinations by acting like Ward was the one who formed all of the scorecards.

The fight was promoted poorly for sure I think Hearn would have done well with it too, but to be fair it was Ward who caused the numbers to drop because he didn't sign the rematch immediately. However he got himself a great deal which was not dependant on the ppv revenue so well done to him.

 

@KiwiMan @Gannicus
What did you guys make of the fight?

 

Wow. Feel bad for Kovalev after manager/trainer fees he'll probably walk away with next to nothing.

 

Nah , Hearn is talking nonsense. He said GGG vs Canelo wouldn't do more than 150k buys on SBO and thats a bigger attraction.
Ward Kovalev wouldn't sell any units on SBO. He saw the viewership it had on regular Sky , thats why he said the Golovkin fight would do so poorly.

 

This is suppose to be a huge fight ahahahah ward cant draw **** at all

 

its not new to him he use to fight for free for many many fights before hitting the big time

 

I guess you forgot that his Russian promoter Egis Klimis never paid him a cent when he was on the way up.
Apparently the the people who are out to get him are are the same people who made him a millionaire.
