Tropical tripleheader from ESPN

Promoter Dan Goossen told ESPN.com that he plans to bring his Feb. 2 HBO tripleheader, headlined by welterweight titlist Paul Williams' first defense against an opponent to be named (who will fill in for the injured Kermit Cintron), to the Caribbean island of St. Lucia.

With backing from the government, Goossen put on a successful "ShoBox" card there Nov. 16 and the government is interested in another show, he said.

Before the site is official, however, HBO and Goossen have to work out how they will pay for the added production costs of doing a card there.

The card will also feature heavyweight prospect Cristobal Arreola. Goossen wants to step up Arreola's competition and made a deal with Main Events for Calvin Brock, who was approved by HBO. However, Brock didn't accept because of an injury. Goossen said he is talking to reps for David Tua.

Also on the card: super middleweight prospect Andre Ward, the 2004 U.S. Olympic gold medalist who won on Nov. 16 in St. Lucia. Ward would be taking a gigantic step up if a deal is finalized with Top 10 contender Allan Green, which appears likely.

Floyd Mayweather's clash with Ricky Hatton will be one of the richest fights in boxing history. So why is it being contested at the 10,000-seat MGM Grand when it could sell out a 40,000-seat arena?

Ward's in over his head if he faces Green at this stage in his career.

No, not yet! He'd do better than Jaidon I'm sure, but he needs some work.
