    More like Kovalev's sacrifice to get Ward in the ring.

    The really sad part in this is, Kovalev should be earning much more than bum fighting Golovkin.

    Here a story about that, it was a while ago as I mentioned in another post:

    British middleweight Darren Barker was chasing a shot at a world title so Golovkin’s manager Oleg Hermann got in touch with his promoter Eddie Hearn with an offer that would include Golovkin fighting for FREE.

    But Hearn – unaware of the dangers that Golovkin possessed back then – was quickly told where to go by Barker’s trainer Tony Sims when he giddily phoned up thinking he had pulled off a great deal.

    The simple answer was ‘F*** off’.

    Hearn said: “They phoned up and asked if Barker wanted to fight him for the world title and I said ‘yes, yes’.

    “They said all they needed were some sponsorship logos on the ring and some tickets. No money. I was like ‘f***’.

    “I phoned Tony Sims and said ‘I got Darren a shot against this guy Golovkin... Tony?’. He went ‘f***off, no’. I said ‘he doesn’t even want a purse’ and he said ‘f*** off no’.”

    Golovkin added: “I remember yes. I said it doesn’t matter what deal just give me a chance.”

    The Kazakh’s promoter Tom Loeffler revealed how Team Golovkin were just desperate to get fights as world champions kept running away from the dangerous puncher.

    He said: “Oleg was struggling to get anyone in the ring with him.

    “They were basically willing to fight for free just to get the fights and they knew if they came over here against a popular fighter like Barker it would get a lot of publicity for his career.

    “They fought in Canada, they fought in Panama, Monte Carlo, Ukraine, Kazakhstan. They were willing to fight for free to get the recognition, the activity and to keep proving he is the best champion.”

    So there are no real examples just some fantasy story and the fight that never happened.

    GGG wouldn't have even been a real world champion because Barker had a strap before him.

    I would be surprised to learn that GGG has ever taken the smaller piece of the pie in any fight over than perhaps the sham Brook fight.

    Roc nation guaranteed Wards purse so he is making 5 million even if the fight loses money which it will. :(
