"Kovalev received NO PURSE only % of PPV & tix Vs WARD"-ESPN (Dan Rafael)

[krackdagawd]

Roc Nation did a piss poor job promoting this fight being the lead promoters. But beyond that, Ward's never been a "PPV Attraction" so it shouldn't be any surprise that this fight did very bad. Roy Jones during his reign at P4P #1 wasn't a "PPV Attraction" either more so than being the figurehead of HBO. Ward's sorta in that dept but even that being said Ward doesn't have anywhere near the popularity Jones had being mostly on HBO.

He is being paid like it though

All power to him too. I don't think he's gonna stick around that long either so if he can snag a few more paydays with Stevenson (longshot) or a Cruiserweight fight I think he can call it a career.

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Yup even when it's to her & her fighter's benefit playing second fiddle to Roc Nation was seen as by her. She even made fun of one of the sponsors during their promo tour when have you ever seen that in your life . Let's say this sponsor wants to stay in boxing what do you think their attitude for Duva is going to be. Body yourselves brehs.

breh Kathy has no level to her pettiness she even tried to blame the dismal GATE and PPV numbers based simply on the announcement of the DATE for the Mayweather McGregor fight being publicized a few weeks back...even though the fight doesn't take place till late august..smh

This woman is amazing... truly pathetic.but it doesn't surprise me at all

The Byatch sabotoged the Stevenson Kovalev fight cause she knew damn well she couldn't outbid Haymon for the purse to have the fight exclusively on HBO..

Even when HBO was willing to offer her some cash to make the fight happen...


But like Stevenson said ..she never had plans to make that fight happen

Adonis Stevenson: Duva Used Me To Get New HBO Deal! - Boxing News




.she gave finessed HBO to just get the deal and make Kovalev the face of her company...that's why she was spazzing out over Ward winning over her trophy

I bought this subject up to her daughter Nicole on Twitter..and just like her petty mama SHE BLOCKED ME

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

Remember back when vs Kovalev was being negotiated N was at the offer N said get Eazy E involved so we can make $$$$

"Once PPV sales go over 300k youll make your Money Adonis "


People swore Duva was in the right N was ducking...i tried to learn you nikkas....alot of y'all deserve a trip back in time N a neg

Meanwhile that Rocnation cac probably doing a line of coke off a ring girl still celebrating eating off them sponsors why Duva crying about ppv #s.

"The Andre Ward Show" won and there's nothing she can do about it

"Durant won, Ward won ROCNATION in the house"

:sadduva:

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

What I found really interested was how Kathy Duva always the shyt talker called out everybody with TEAM WARD (michael Yorkman..Virgil hunter..jay z)...

Except JPRINCE

Bottom line

Boxing is the wild west and nikkas like Floyd, Canelo, Cotto, Oscar, Wlad are doing exactly what they need to survive a cutthroat business.

My issues with Haymon at the beginning of PBC were always the shyt matchups.....and while that's been resolved ( except for fukkin Adonis) it's forced its competitors to FINALLY think outside the box ( Top Rank & Golden Boy) and get the halfassed companies to be marginalized ( HBO).

If a fighter in 2017 with all the lawyers and info out there knowingly sign a shytty deal ( Kovalev) and fraud wasn't involved fukk em....that's on them. That's why all props to Floyd for exploiting the system.

These nikkas don't pay my bills.

PBC matchups were always better than their competitors, even at the beginning. That was just a false narrative put out by a media that's in bed with Top Rank, Golden Boy and HBO.

I am not biased and enjoy fights regardless of who makes it and the first year and a half of PBC was shyt fights.

I don't worship Haymon, Bobfather, Oscar, Hearn, etc....trash is trash.

I could care less if Kovalev is getting fukked with No Vaseline or Floyd makes millions....I'm a fan of good fights.

Cool, wasn't questioning your fanhood. Just pointing out the BS the media puts out.

Cause Haymon isn't media friendly they make him out to be the devil.....in the devil of all sports......crazy

Now you know why Lampley always railed against PBC....HBO boxing is in the shytter now. Bob got the clue too.
