Comments Thread For: Roc Nation Exec: Nobody Knows Kovalev; Can't Sell Tickets, PPV

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS Andre Ward's promoter vehemently disputed Sergey Kovalev's contention that Ward hasn't done enough to help promote their pay-per-view fight Saturday night. Russia's Kovalev will be paid primarily from percentages of pay-per-view and tickets sales. The former light heavyweight champion has grown increasingly angry this week in part because Ward will be paid a guarantee of at least $6 million by Roc Nation Sports, no matter how their rematch performs on pay-per-view ($64.99 in HD) or at the gate at Mandalay Bay Events Center ($105-$1,255 for tickets).

The truth is true boxing fans would PAY 2 see a KOvalev fight. True boxing fans wont pay 2 see a COward fight.

Ward is an excellent boxer but he doesn't exactly sell that many tickets either.
