    This guy Sergey is sounding like a real hater right now. I understand he feels hard done by but he's making himself look silly with some of his statements.

    Sergey and Duva only have themselves to blame for the 'robbery' what unified champ would be dumb enough to give his opponent the luxury of 'all' the judges coming from his country.

    This bull about the ppv being low because of Ward is nonsense, Kovalev is not a star in the US at all, Ward was the A-side in this fight and he's doesn't even sell his hometown.

    It's got some truth to it. Ward doesn't sell.

    Neither does Sergey or else that wouldn't have been his first PPV too. My point is neither of them sell tickets

    Neither does Kovalev. Its sour grapes on Sergey. He's just going through the motions of having a first loss.

    I agree with you, I think his doing this to annoy Ward into securing the rematch.

    Fair enough if you believe that but Ward got the decision so we gotta accept that until the rematch occurs.

    The numbers being low are down to both of them. The fight was never going to do big numbers.

    Well Ward was the A-Side wasn't he? In his homecountry. And he still didn't draw.

    Yea but Ward is the US world champion, you would expect a home fighter of that standing to be able to sell.
