Correct me if I'm wrong, but. I specifically remember reading that when the contract for the Ward/Kovalev fight was made, that it was agreed that the fight would not take place in either fighter's hometown

Edit - Yep, just as I thought

As for where this match-up might take place, Duva stated:

"We've already had conversations here in Las Vegas and conversations have been going on in New York with the (Madison Square) Garden and I'm sure there will be others between now and then."

There is an agreement in the contract that Oakland (Ward's hometown) and Russia (Kovalev's home country) are ruled out as potential fight locations.

who said Ward is forcing anyone to do anything?

kkkov saw the Cali crowd and said he wanted to fight Ward at home, beat it

it's prize fighting they fight for a prize the pot will be bigger in Oakland but let's not let logic get int he way of your hating.

how do u know the pot will be bigger in oakland than vegas or NY?

wheres your proof?

u say im a hater but what does that make you where u defend anything he does?

 

[Newzz]

why is ward trying to make the kovalev fight in oakland then?..kovalev got bigger ratings for their last fights..but i guess u wont bring that up

Jean Pascal is the reason.


In case you haven't noticed, Jean Pascal is a bigger draw then Kovalev which is why BOTH fights were held in Pascal's backyard.

and yes crawford and ward should try and branch out to vegas to expand their fanbase and not stay regional...

Why? Crawford just fought in NYC and did the lowest attendance in his last 5 fights.

Let's look at Ward vs. Froch #s in Jersey in comparison to his Oakland attendance #s.....more tickets sold = bigger pot

Not even going to bring kkkov into this because he is not a draw anywhere maybe in Russia or some shyt.

I understand though the hate makes you blind if only there was anything else you could do besides hating

Kovalev-Mohammedi was in vegas and had over a mill viewers.. but i guess hes not a draw anywhere

mohamedi must have a big fanbase i dont know about


and ward vs froch was 5 years ago.. let it go already..since then hes gonna fight 4 straight tuneups in 5 years if he gets another one before kovalev.. he beats kovalev ill give him his props and due

Where did I say Kovalev is not a draw anywhere?


I could've swore I said...

...in response to you saying:

Secondly, Ward vs Barrera still did 1.064 million viewers going head up against the Elite Eight which drew 11 million viewers....while Kovalev vs Mohammedi did 1.014 million views. Seems to me that SOG did stronger ratings

This has nothing to do with nothing.

you always gonna be tagged, no Danny Jacobs, due to you making that blasphemous thread last year disrespecting SOG's return

Why is my coverage of the sport so interesting to you?

You don't like my opinions, that's great - do you want to just keep mocking me and not come on the podcast?

Defensive just like id expect a Ward stan to be your loss fam, trying to help
