We can't count the money in other people's pockets. Everyone goes to the table with an expectation for pay. 30K may be life changing for the next person. Why not take it. Especially if you get an opportunity to get on television. It puts your name out there more.
You will almost never see me bashing a boxer for picking his opponents. I think most boxers are quite skilled to pose a threat. But someone with 30k purse is really not the kind of opponent Ward should be fighting against. But what pisses me off the most is the hypocrisy in this forum. If GGG's opponent got 30k, I assure you, there would be atleast 50 stupid threads on it. But I still think Ward was stupid to pick this fight.
Who at 168? Why would ward duck GGG? He's an Olympic Gold medalist! He's seen everything. He's taking on a more dangerous fighter in Kovalev at a heavier weight. GGG did't want to go to 168, so seems more like a GGG duck if you ask me.
Nope, the only person who ducked was Ward that is just the blatant honest truth why would a foreign fighter who has travelled all across the world from Kazakhstan, Germany, Panamama, USA, Denmark, Ukraine and France and soon to add to the list Britain duck a little small time name like Ward who hasn't even travelled out of his home country not even for the super six?
Ward is really a pathetic fighter I can't stress that enough, how every other fighter in the super six travels for away fights yet little Ward clings onto his pathetic Joakland hometown even though his hometown don't give two single fuqs about him!
If he is boring he is boring, he ducked GGG by running to 175, he had numerous fighters at 168 to fight but maybe he didn't stay at 168 because he knew the only way to get a PPV out of DeGale was by travelling to Britain honestly Ward is an absolute pathetic fighter who can't travel.
168lbs is a better division than 175 so is 160 for that matter he's also fighting the guy who isn't as good as Adonis :)

I hope it flops. $850K for a tune up? HBO shouldn't of paid for this crap. They could of used that money and made several good fights with it.
Have instead of "of."
He didn't struggle. Outboxed him easily. But then again, Ward only cleaned out his division and is going up in weight to take on the best at 175....
If you cant beat him, call him boring...

No, not at all I'm a fan of boxing by not supporting Andre Ward it shows how much of a true boxing fan I am.
No true boxing fan would support such an ugly boring fighter that Andre Ward is, he can't even show true boxing finesse the only time he does show it is when he fights overmatched bums, he struggled with a bum like Sullivan Barrera.

Well maybe you aren't a boxing fan.

Casually ignoring that undercard fighters get more than that? He is fighting in US, not colombia. Pathetic. If any fighter worth their **** gets an opponent who gets paid 30k, you know its not even a fight. The hypocrisy and double standards of this forum is seen through the silence from this fight. Fanboyism works both ways.

Money wasn't created equally. 30K in another country changes lives.

A bad MMA fight is ten times better than any ward fight, rather watch womens MMA than Ward least the two girls are set out to put on a show something little Ward knows nothing about he is an absolute pathetic joke.
Well maybe you aren't a boxing fan.
Where are the 20 threads you put up for mismatches? Giving this fight a pass even though his opponent is getting paid 30k, which is usually less than undercard purses?? Atleast do 10 threads?

Only boxing fans could talk about boycotting an event that would have no negative economic effect whether they watch or not. Unless you want HBO to stop showing boxing matches which would also affect the same boxer the thread starter is in love with, not watching tonight won't mean a damn thing.
Why not boycott GGG vs Brook??????
He obviously isn't but that fight and Canelo Smith should be boycotted. The entire Canelo ppv looks like trash and the only good thing about the golovkon show is Roman/cuadras and kamegai/jsk is happening split site
