Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Chavez Jr. Fight a ‘Now’ Pay-Per-View

Ward is being real and being honest. In reality because boxing is a business as well the only 2ppvs (the names) he could fight are b hop and Chavez jr

Froch v Ward II is a significant PPV this side of the pond, but I don't think Froch wants to go there next. He's talking about Golovkin and Chavez himself.

Well this is prize fighting

GGG Vs. Chavez Jr. is better. A sure beatdown of the son of a legend. Jr. might pull a Cleverly after that. Beaten down, heart broken, and move up to a weaker division.

Ward-Bika was the most competitive fight I've seen the former in. I don't think Chavez has got Bika's craftiness on the inside though, and Ward has improved since the Bika fight.

It's obvious that Chavez Jr. is after Bika's WBC crown -- WBC would make this fight possible as soon as they can.

... But Froch didn't rule out the Ward rematch if Ward would want travel to England... (I think they still have to negotiate the purses...)

I dont like Chavez with a passion. Vera caught the biggest robbery of the year. Ward is getting desparately sad. You can tell he wants it so bad now before Chavez gets exposed for the third time in a row.

If its true a poster said Ward got 2 milly on saturday thats even too much and a solid payday for Ward. I dont mind watching Ward but nobodys going to pay for your ***** until you actually start taking risks to enhance your legacy.

Hopkins is the only PPV worthly fight if theirs a GOOD undercard but unless Ward fights GGG, Hopkins, Kovalev, Froch or Stevenson in hos next fight nobodys going to give a damn at all. Ward couldnr get a PPV to do over 200, 000 even with chump Chavez Jr. Who continues to embarass his fathers name.

My assessment on Ward is that he has the required skills to annihilate all his potential opponents' styles, to date. I mean: starting from Golovkin and ending with Kovalev or Stevenson.
B-Hop will not fight Ward (as Andre Dirrell never did).
Ward's main problem, as we all know, is that his highly effective style is far from being a spectacular style -- hence his low level in popularity.
With his present style, Ward can build an ATG career for himself, but he cannot become a big tickets seller or a PPV seller.

where jr will just pocket 5m

No one can out-wrestle Andre Ward. Just no one!

Chavez is in for the WBC title shot next and he will get it. He'll win if it goes to points and by that time, DeGale will most likely be mandatory, if that's the case, Ward's team will have to pay DeGale some step aside money even before contracts are signed between Jr/Ward, so this is a fight that will cost a lot to make and has some political wranglings involved.

Apart from all that, it's not something I'm interested in, I'd rather see Ward v Froch/Stevenson/Kovalev/Hopkins/Kessler

"WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward says he doesn’t see a point in him fighting IBF light heavyweight champion Bernard Hopkins unless he wants the fight with him and starts calling him out in a persistent manner."
... And B-Hop will not start calling Ward out "in a persistent manner".

... In a recent interview, Kessler said he has no desire to fight anytime soon...
