Ward on Canelo/Cotto undercard?

Its either a good opportunity or a gaffe. Won't really be able to formulate an opinion until I find out what "credible opponent" means.

Roc Nation says they have worked out a deal for @GGGBoxing to step aside since he***39;s mandatory. Wouldn***39;t reveal how much money.— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) August 10, 2015 The deal is RN will have Ward drop down to 160lbs for Golovkin.

It's like they don't want you to buy the card Itskowitch wouldn***39;t reveal other plans for undercard but said the telecast will look like other Roc Nation ones. Black ring mat, musical act— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) August 10, 2015

The issues with the rematch clause for #CottoCanelo have been ironed out, Roc Nation Sports***39; Michael Yormark tells me. Contracts w/ lawyers— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) August 10, 2015 close Sounds good. Imagine if they'd gone to Gaby Penagaricano instead of Michael Yormark... "There are still multiple issues that need to be sorted out. Oscar is sorely mistaken if he believes we will negotiate through the media. Miguel is going to take the best opportunity out there for himself, and if we have to look elsewhere for that, we will." Translation: the fight's almost done.

Ward needs exposure and an exciting fight if he wants to fight before Cotto-Canelo otherwise his fight will be easily forgotten.

"Credible Opponent" = verified SS# My guess is Perriban Keep up the great info. Green k sent. Thanks man

The plan right now is for @andreward to appear on the #CottoCanelo undercard vs. a "credible opponent," per David Itskowitch.— Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) August 10, 2015 "Credible Opponent" = verified SS#

If you're not Top Rank or Golden Boy or even Haymon, you will never have a star. That's what I mean by terrible promoter, no one has the money to build guys like they do. Ward didn't do himself any favors suing him 5 times either and I don't feel sorry for Ward in anyway. But he would have been anything more than he is now staying with Goosen. RocNation putting him on the undercard already got him more exposure than he ever got with Goosen. Goosen probably wouldn't have been able to take him to the next level as getting a quality opponent, especially with Ward's style, is always going to be hard. But everything Goosen did leading Ward up to that point wasn't terrible. It's like criticizing Goosen for being a terrible promoter for not being able to do something yet

hopefully its against somebody good Looking at the WBA top 15... and available people in general.... I doubt it

hopefully its against somebody good

Canelo got big living off of Floyd undercards, I don't see the problem here. Yeah, he's (Ward) obviously has been in the game longer but he had a terrible promoter. I don't get how you can complain about good fighters being on the undercard as opposed to just prospects. It won't be a tough fight, but hell it's great exposure. GGG vs Lemieux should be on the undercard if the winners are really fighting each other. That is how a PPV should be stacked, not like Mayweathers or Manny's. Hahahahaha....ha

Ward was the only fighter who didn't have to travel during the super 6 tournament, got paid over 2 mil to fight Rodriguez. If Ward is not well known, it wasn't his promoter's fault. You can't make someone with zero personality and dirty/boring fighting style (endless headbutts, clinches) liked.Ward's only problem was/is Ward.

lulzy, but I think even Ward gets him out after the halfway point Via cut from unintentional headbutt.

How funny would it be for Geale to go 12 with Ward. lulzy, but I think even Ward gets him out after the halfway point

Geale? Dang, they can't pass him off that many times... especially after Cotto just killed him. IMO, probably Porky How funny would it be for Geale to go 12 with Ward.
