Comments Thread For: Andre Ward's Trainer Reacts To Sanchez's Comments

[Realizniguhnit]

So does Ward want it with GGG or not? All Sanchez was doing is pulling his card.

[iniduoh]

No, he actually said they need to go to ESPN with that fight, even though it will be against tougher comp than GGG has ever faced on HBO. It wasn't about the payday it was about the network

You are exactly right. That was really disrepectful of Sanchez to make a statement like that about the top #2 boxer in the world. No where in the history of televised boxing has the #2 ranked boxer in the world fought on a second rate network as ESPN as it relates to boxing.

I can just hear his voice in this interview,lol

He sounds like a poor man's Morgan Freeman.

@hero Bando I feel what you're saying, but Hbo can put together a decent undercard to accommodate Andre Ward in the main event. I know he doesn't pull in monster numbers in his fights but the Ward vs Dawson numbers wasnt too shabby. I think it did a million and plus views. Plus people want to see how Andre will look after the long layoff. On the strength of that alone and an intriguing undercard will do good business. Hbo should just get it done especially if Andre is supposed to be Hbo flagship fighter. That's how you lose good business. Keep your star player happy or he might just jump ship to Showtime when his contract is up

Totally, I think he's due a tuneup, for a decent purse. I'm guessing HBO and him differ on what decent means. Definitely not ESPN or NBC level money, that's ******ed, but probably not a million+ for a no hoper like Truax or Sartison.. The offer for Rodriguez was very good on both ends, that's on Rodriguez for passing. That fight would have a little buzz, these other guys none.

When you are called p4p#1 or 2, there are big expectations I guess.

[Bigg Rigg]

I think ward should become a full time commentator

[ИATAS]

I was expecting some **** talking but that was a very fair response. Nicely done.

[..David..]
