By Dan Ambrose: The light heavyweight mega-fight this month between IBF/WBA/WBO 1745lb champion Sergey Kovalev and Andre Ward brought in less than spectacular pay-per-view numbers, according to Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports News. Iole is saying that he’s hearing the Kovalev-Ward fight brought in numbers in the 160K for PPV buys for their fight at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Those numbers obviously would be less than earth-shattering if they turn out to be the final results for the fight. The fight ended with controversial with Ward winning a 12 round unanimous decision by the scores 114-113, 114-113 and 114-113.
