That being said , Ward should move up as there is plenty of action at 175 . He probably should of left 168 long ago but he heard this 160 lb guy talking sh.t during a time when he couldn't fight and most likely stayed around to cash in that ticket he was sold , too bad he found out late that it was a wolf ticket .

Rodriguez wasn't a tune up , he was a undefeated viable contender making waves in the division . Except Murray, all GGG's fights are tune ups , and HBO is fine with it . Double standards are abound
Again, its nothing personal. Just business on HBO's behalf.
Once Ward is on par with GGG as far as his star power and drawing power, I'm sure HBO will force the fight. That's if Ward isnt a full time LHW by then. Speaking of which? Didnt RN sports and Duva state that they're in talks with HBO for a potential showdown with Kovalev?

Next time , please dont forget the subtext as I'm tired of completing your sentences for u !
The difference between Ward and GGG is that Ward had a $2million mimimum guaranteed purse, whoever he fought, and GGG was being payed relative peanuts until his popularity and fan base exploded.
HBO make money from GGG's fights, and they would have ended up losing money on Ward vs Paul Smith. That's the only reason it ended up on BET with Roc taking the hit instead of HBO.
If HBO think they can get views and make money from Ward they will welcome him back with open arms.Last edited by kafkod; 10-09-2015, 03:06 PM.

This is what I dont get. A natural MW is ducking a LHW? Just think about that for a second.
