Why? Kovalev has been insanely active while Ward has been living off of the Super Six and tune up fights.
This is the biggest fight in boxing this year, Ward should be compensated greatly and a 55/45% split to Kovalev is fair as can be. Without Ward, there's no PPV fight for Kovalev.
You knuckle heads really think kov is getting even a 50 50 split Kov has yet to even get a million dollar purse
