ANDRE DIRRELL has been lying his a$$ off...

Can anyone confirm that this Dr. Shawhigh is real? I remember the episode and they didn't look 100% sure that that was the doctor's name lol.

It was hilarious.

You are seeing a doctor regularly, yet you NOR ANYBODY ON YOUR TEAM can recall this doctor's name.

The doctor that holds your livelihood and dreams in his hands.

Yeah. right.

Nowhere in my post do I try to blame Ward, and I wouldn't want to as I like the guy. So i'll leave that one hanging.

Dirrell was violating his contract? We know he's violated it by not fighting. But this is after the back-and-forth between the parties which involved Showtime siding with Ward. You're turning the order of events upside down.

I'm quite sure every fighter would have had to fight away from home at least once, otherwise the whole tournament would never have worked. I can only assume it must therefore have been provided for in their contracts.

If it wasn't provided for in Ward's, but in all the other's, then that is worrying and very strange. So I can only assume it was in Ward's.

So again, why didn't Showtime compel Ward? And in light of siding with him, what other concession did Dirrell have to make?

The situation is not as black and white as you and other posters on here are trying to make out.

Yea I've always found that weird how ward gets 2 home fights 1 at home tonight

Froch fought 1 at home 1 in denmark 1 tonight neutral

Abraham 1 at home 1 in flint 1 neutral

Dirrell had 1 at home 1 at nottingham ward fight ??

Something is up with ward's contract definitely he hasn't been out of oakland in a while now

The promoters are still in business to make money. Ward lives in a big metro area and has drawn pretty well, I would guess.

The economics still prevail.
