    why did ward get kicked off hbo?

    does anyone know? i personally think it was because he wanted to fight guys like bute and ggg but hbo wanted him to fight bums like dmitri sartison. whaddya think?

    also fighting on bet is far more prestigious than fighting on hbo anyway. anyone fighting on bet should get a 50/50 split with an hbo star in my opinion. probably even more than 50 percent

      HBO didn't want to sacrifice their hypejob sugarson GGGeezer. Ward would maul him.

      Ward is racist POS as well. Still less cancer than GGGeezer for the sport.​

        Ward resume is trash ended with a gift vs Kov and a ball shot. The GGG offer was just so they could claim they made one when they made it when GGG all ready had another fight agreed

          dude's entire career is a fraud.

          using greco roman wrestling moves in boxing + headbutts and low blows. then barely gets a decision. dude is a JOKE.


          Andre Ward is a chit stain on boxing

            yeah cept thats not what happened at all so why make that up? ward didnt want to fight ggg(among others), so they booted him, i mean its even in court documents and testimony by wards former promoter so i just dont get why people make up these stories. ward didnt want the fights, ggg did. thats why hbo booted him yet people reverse it?

                it says all those things are illegal. why did they let him do that? hmmm i guess he didnt do them after all? boxing is on the up and up right? the judges said ward beat kovalev so it must be true!

                  I don't think Ward was kicked off HBO. His contract with them expired in August of 2017. HBO announced in September 2018 that they were phasing out boxing and ended their boxing broadcasts in 2019.

                  Andre Ward's television contract with HBO is up, and the boxer says he's still with promoter Roc Nation "100 percent."

                    You just made a thread bashing Ward on this exact subject, nobody responded, so you change your tune in a new thread to get responses, just to revert back to bashing Ward

                    who cares about Ward, he’s retired
