Comments Thread For: Hearn Contacts Ward's Promoter For Froch HBO Rematch

[Wenger Is God]

can't believe there's so much fuss over this fight
Ward won clearly and owes Froch nothing
and the fight wasn't even all that exciting
give Froch props for having the balls to pursue it
but he's clowning himself talking like Ward needs him
this is cool if it happens but isn't necessary
surprised Ward isn't going up to LHW by now, he's run the 168 table

That's because there are no big fights at LHW. The biggest fight for him is a rematch with Froch so in a sense, he does "need" Froch.

Ward is too much of an American sports star, pampered beyond measure. Too ***** to travel. The same way the likes of Hopkins and RJJ had verbal diarrhoea throughout their primes about fighting in the UK yet never did. They wasted their primes and missed out on huge paydays across the atlantic. ******* gon puss!

Hearn's obvious plan is to try to pay Ward less for coming to UK...

The Froch-Ward II has no point without the UK money...
Everybody knows.

(It was Ward who proposed the Wembley stadium, not Hearn.)

Ward's only lucrative opponent is Froch and to get big money for the fight is to fight in the UK. Froch should not take the fight, he will lose to Ward, he should fight Kessler again or Hopkins. Ward might be the true champion but Froch is in the driving seat.
