Why is Andre "Hometown" Ward Reluctant to Face Froch in the UK?

[New England]

i also said he's so dead, that he would have to do something out of the ordinary to get media attention...reading is fundamental...

two, three threads on here with folk with the same complaint on andre "unmarketable" ward...do the math son...you say andre ward in sports bars and nobody gives a s**t...

i'm not even the biggest carl froch fan mind yous, but i'm a bigger non fan, of andre (son of bernard) ward...

the point is, andre ward, has no leverage, even with a guy he beat decisively...tough pill to swallow for you apparently...lol

lol...like puffy said to biggie, he'll be just another broke mixtape rapper...

i read what you wrote, dude. i waste more time than i care to admit reading dumb sh#T on bscene.

it doesn't make it any less ridiculous or dumb.

Look, there is no way that Froch beats him if he fights he same way he did last time. If Ward steps on he gas and hurts Froch a few times along the way, Froch won't get the nod. He has to face it though, the days of everyone coming to Cali are pretty much over if he wants to fight "big names". I think he and Golovkin would make for a decent scrap once Golovkin fights Macklin. He would have some leverage there possibly and Golovkin would definitely move up for the fight.

for true andre ward fans sake, i hope this scenario happens, so i won't have to keep making 'em mad with how unmarketable he is....

oh my. mature response, this.


the evaluation of my life and level of intellegence of a bscener doesn't concern me. certainly not one who thinks andre ward will benefit from getting robbed.

[KickAzz]

Ward knows that the potential to get robbed is very high in the UK against Froch... but if Ward totally outclasses Froch, then what does he really have to fear?

[mlord]

The venue didn't have anything to do with ward decisively beating Froch, one handed for much of the fight no less. Ward already beat him so other than a payday what's the point in doing it again? With two good hand I'm confident in saying Froch would get stopped this time.

hey man pernell whitaker was a defensive genius, with no ko power, and under the radar, but was robbed blind in chavez' hometown and it got major press, and what did whitaker say after the fight? "the world saw it"...but what do i know huh? lol

hey man i am in the promotions/marketing field, so if ya don't like my spin on it, i can't help ya... moreover, i really don't give a two s**ts either way, but one thing is for certain...if your riding with mr. ward, he has to do something to get major some media attention...maybe challenge bernard hopkins, who publicly said he wouldn't fight him, or go on dancing with the stars, or have sex with a goat...something man i don't care...lol

truth is, andre ward can beat froch in oakland, nobody cares...
andre ward can beat kessler in oakland, nobody cares...
ward, sad to say, is so under the radar, that he would get more press getting robbed in somebody's else's hometown, than he would with one of those sleep inducing victories, complete with hometown refs, in oakland...

[Hitman932]

Ward is reluctant to face him? How much money has Froch offered him? When did they fax the contract to Ward? When did Ward turn it down or say that it wasn't enough money?

Oh wait... none of those things have happened.

Ward is skeptical of Froch's desire to fight him again, even in the UK. He doesn't believe there will even be a formal offer and I am inclined to believe him because the reality is that Froch is afraid to fight Ward again even in his own backyard.

I cared both times. Looks like you are wrong as usual.
