    Comments Thread For: Ward-Dirrell: Showtime Sends Legal Letters Warning Both

    Showtime, the network behind the ongoing Super Six Boxing Classic, has issued legal letters to promoters Dan Goossen and Gary Shaw, advising both sides that their fighters, WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward and once-beaten Andre Dirrell, have to go through with their scheduled fight in the Super Six tournament, and gave both promoters three potential dates. Showtime, threatening legal action, directed both boxers to fight on either September 25, October 2 or October 9. [Click Here To Read More]

    Good, these guys need to get their stuff together. I guess if Ward can't get a hometown decision, he isn't going through with it.....

      Good news. I was worried when they announced this tourney because theres no way all the egos of the fighters and promoters could fit into one room much less agree on a tournament. Its amazing it got to this point but it looks like its dying off because the fighters and promoters seem to forget about the fans and only care about their bank roll and protecting their fighters. Give the fans what they want to see.

        I wish HBO sued guys for not fighting each other even without doing it in a tournament.

          Good. I spoke with Dirrell last night and he said the fight would happen, but things are delayed at the moment. Glad to see Showtime take this step.

            they dont wanna fight each other


            i like how Showtime told them to put their friendship aside and honor the S-6 contract they signed


            best friends have fought before...Simon Brown and Maurice Blocker come to mind

              Weak as.


              Ward needs to sort himself out.

              I am glad Showtime have sent a legal letter to both boxers warning them.
              It is only fair on the like of Froch, Abraham, Kessler and even Green and Taylor who have been involved in the tournament.

                At least those 2 aren't scared to fight

                  Good move by Showtime. Ward-Dirrell better happen. If it doesn't happen they both will say that they withdrew because of Kessler. Dirrell should pursue this fight because he will beat the living **** out of Ward. Ward is a b*tch.

                    This will be a horrible fight to watch. Both have cheap spoiling styles.
