Kovalev's purse for the Ward fight: $0

[Substance Abuse]

Kovalev literally killed a man in the ring.
He tried to legit ruin Pascal for good in the rematch.
Now he's fighting Ward for a zero sum purse and he said several times that he doesn't just want to win, he wants Ward to never be able to fight again.

I know boxers don't really fear other boxers but damn. If I was a friend or family member of Ward I'd be shook.

How'd that work out?

Wow, good for Ward. Despite occasionally being a bit dramatic, he seems like a genuinely good person.

He should change his name to Madonna

Crazy

Sounds like a fair deal to me.

Feel bad for the dude, man. A lotta these Russian fighters needs to be more stern. They need to realize the business ain't honorable, especially not in this part of the world – where all the money is.
