New York, New York - The CEO of Main Events worked incredibly hard to put together the best possible fight to be made in boxing between her fighter, light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev (30-0-1, 26 KO's), and challenger Andre Ward(30-0, 15 KO's). There may have been some concern of the fight not being formally announced because of some details that needed some ironing out with Ward's promoters, Roc Nation Sports. The details are ironed out and the fight will take place in Las Vegas at the new T-Mobile Arena on November 19th.

Because of the financials, the fight has to take place on HBO pay-per-view. But Duva feels that its not just financials as to why this fight should be on pay-per-view, its because the fight falls under the 'special fight category.

"I think that pay-per-view fights are supposed to be the best fighting the best," Duva told BoxingScene.com. "I think this is exactly a pay-per-view fight with two of the best fighters in the world fighting each other, two undefeated fighters, and two of these fighters in the top 5 pound for pound."

Fights like Kovalev-Ward only come around so often says Duva.

"This is only the third time this has happened, fights that fall under the category of Trinidad-De La Hoya, Taylor-Chavez where two top five pound for pound undefeated guys fight each other," explained Duva. "It's been 17 years since two pound for pound fighters who were undefeated have fought while in their prime. Its a special fight and special fights belong on pay-per-view."

As far as making this fight a success on pay-per-view Duva knows she has to work hard to do so.

"Its my job for the next two months to make sure we make it a success," stated the promoter. "We have a lot of mainstream media interested. We got our work cut out from us. This isn't going to be 4 millions buys but we went in with rather modest aspiration on buys."

However, Duva says the ticket sales have been strong and that will be a good indication for pay-per-view buys.

"Its being received well already on ticket sales. We have close to 2.5 million in the box office. Box office is a good indication how the pay-per-view will go. We haven't advertised and people have found out about it. I think we'll reach the casual fans. Right now there's only 8,000 seats available for sale."
