Ward is top rank bound..its inevitable

[LouIE G]

I hope he isn't doing this for the sole purpose of jumping to GBP and Showtime for a Hopkins fight.

You think golden boy??huh i think its definately a possibility but i think he top rank bound,ive never heard him mention bhop persay but i hear him saying chavez jr name all the time...it you look at a ppv selling point who would you think would offer more bhop whos last ppv flopped badly with dawson or chavez who everytime is on hbo pulls in huge numbers,500,000 ppvs in his first hboppv fight with maravilla,is impressive....at the end of the day though it comes down to money,and i think he will go with greedy bob and top rank..imo

Personally, I cannot see any top tier promoter lining up to sign him. From all appearances he seems to want larger and larger purses, but does not have the popularity to match them.

Ward wants PPV purses, but who can guarantee them to him?

Not sure I agree with that. Ward has kinda reached a point where any fighter in his weight range is gonna have to see him to legitimized themselves.

Mofo is scum. He signed a deal and now wants out.

IMO Goosen has done a decent job.

Ward just wants to face bums for money now.

I don't think Dawson-Hopkins was PPV. I remember watching that fight and there's no way I'd pay for it. So I was either real drunk and ordered it. Or that one was on regular HBO or Showtime.

I think he's leaning towards Top Rank, they seem to have better fights at SMW and LHW.

Oh OK. I guess I did order it because I remember watching both fights. Pretty such I busted the TV out with a ball bat or something if I ordered the first one with the way it ended. I blackout so I can't be completely sure.
