    Once we announced the Lemieux fight, I get an unsolicited offer from Dave Itskowitch at Roc Nation making some strange offer of GGG fighting Ward at 168 with a 50/50 deal.”

    These are the words of your source. not andre ward.

Ward has ZERO PPV sales while trying to bait Golovkin up in weight. Ward's best PPV numbers were 160K buys from his first fight with Kovalev. Ward then gets a gift in the first fight and should have been DQ'd in rematch. Kovalev wasn't on the same level as GGG and Ward struggled with him. Now Ward is desperate for a fight with a low-skill washed up HW where he wants to make the fight in UK because no one will pay to see him in the U.S. He couldn't even sell out venues in his hometown of Oakland.

      Facts over lies. No catchweight according to the op article

        Totally believable scenario by a source who obviously wanted to lay low and not ignite drama but get the truth out to the public. Ward would never confess he ducked GGG. But he certainly would lie to cover up his cowardice.

          As I said before, Ward had zero PPV credentials to his name and couldn’t put asses in seats outside of Oakland. Where does he get off demanding 50% and Go,o min move up to 168? That wasn’t a serious offer if in fact it was ever made.

          Meanwhile Ward said he would go to 160 for little Floyd but not Golovkin. Those are the facts.

                Thanks!

                I have no alts. I just won't get in line with their PC; they want everyone to pay homage to their victimhood.

                  You and him are two of the biggest racists on this site. I can post screenshots all day of both of your post histories. Your accounts are constantly banned for racism. Clown.

                    Ward was never anywhere near the league of Golovkin. Everybody knows it now, and Ward knew it most of all. He would have gotten wrecked by Golovkin. So he took the Hoeweather approach and made sure he used cowardice to protect that phony 0. The problem for Ward is he was a lousy sell and fans didn't buy his lousy clutch and grab fights.

                    Golovkin was a grand master of boxing and against all odds became a global superstar attraction because of his skills, charisma, and perfect fighting style. Ward made the right move, duck the loss to GGG and keep taking the path of least resistance.

                      - - Wart was jealous that Gennedy was making well paid endorsements for big business like credit cards, insurance, ect.

                      Poor Wart gonna go to his grave wrapped in his inferiority complexes.
