HBO: We Won't Pay Ward big bucks to fight a bum!!!

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I remember watching a B-Hop interview where he said Taylor couldn't pass the athletic commission's tests, and it wouldn't surprise me.

you are most likely right,,, I always wondered why taylor came back, got a solid win vs truex and then has vanished this year... He was 3-0 in his comeback and looked decent..... Cant believe nobody like GGG, quillen or somebody looking for a name wouldnt fight taylor... but not passing commission tests would seem like the answer

He didn't really look solid vs Truax, he barely survived. He was super proud of that post fight, which is kinda understandable with his history and the concussion. It doesn't look as bad in hindsight after Truax George

Ward is Irish, FYI.

And your racial victim bickering doesn't work when it's a flat out lie. I think what you meant was they're done backing boring fighters.

Ward is half African American half Irish you idiot.

They are not dealing with Haymon or GBP, so what HBO fighters not named Ward are getting any kind of push on that network? Anyone accusing others of race baiting, usually tend to be in closet bigots so I could care less about that statement, but your out of line for calling me a liar.

Exactly,this clown thuggery had that racist murderer Zimmerman on his sig but yet he`s always accusing others of pulling the race card.

Aren't they putting on Adonis Stevenson? Tavoris Cloud?

They're just done showing mis-matches for big money.

Stevenson is not African American;hes a Canadian Haitian who sales boat loads of tickets in Canada with an exciting style and don`t need to fight a weight drained fighter to knock a fighter out.

who's even left for Ward to fight at SMW?
he owned everybody in the division that really matters
no need for rematches with either Bika or Froch, though they're ok
Bika will likely fight Chavez anyway, Froch's got Groves
Ward's entitled to a tuneup after a layoff, just take the WBA mando
after that he should go to 175

Dirrel brothers and Adonis Stevenson would be good fights for Ward.After Adonis Ko`ed Dawson,Adonis said he`s willing to come down to super middle to fight Ward.

Yes they did and Al Haymon held them hostage and that is why HBO put an end to it and let Golden Boy walk. They were not going to pay Broner a million plus to fight Rees and guys like that anymore which is great for us fans.

Ohh yeah?? So how are the golden boy cards recently?? Were they trash?? Outside of the 2 fight of the years candidates early this year hbo hasn't given us much to wow factor. They only have like 2 more notable cards this year left. Far from impressive tbh.

Didn't hbo turn down Hop/Stevenson??

[BattlingNelson]

Ward should just say no to HBO and fight Kessler in Denmark for more money. You can consider that a tune-up for Ward as Kessler is washed up right?

[Bushbaby]

Ward better do whatever is necessary to go get that big fight so he can start making some real money. Floyd traveled to go fight Arturo. He went up in weight and glove size, etc, to fight Oscar. He went up in weight to fight Cotto. And now he's meeting Canelo in the middle in their fight. All of these were huge payday's for Floyd and help cement his place as the PPV King.

Anyone? What has Ward done to do the same? He seems like he's comfy at his weight and unwilling to go get the big fights. Sorry, Ward has skill obviously, but he's not a big Box Office draw yet, and imo, there is a reason for that. His opponents have ****** and his personality is vanilla.

There's a big party happening in boxing right now, and he's the dude looking in the window from outside watching all the fun. Shame on either him or his manager.

OMG, Floyd traveled for Gatti. Wow, amazing. That Gatti, (Thunder), was the destroyer of worlds, lol.
