Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Froch Cashing Out, Wants Weak Link Chavez

[-Kev-]

Wait, what? Inventing facts now?

After froch whooped Kessler, he was lobbying to get a Ward rematch, and Ward bitched out of it cuz he dont want to leave OAK. So please stop it!

Yeah, Ward should leave Oakland, the capital of robberies, and go fight Froch in England, where the Groves and Dirrell debacle happened

Froch doesn't want it, he's lying to himself. Telling the champion where to fight lol.

Lol Ward just jealous Froch got Chavez Jr before him

Last I checked, Chavez Jr is fighting Vera next, not Froch or Ward.

From Froch's reluctance to fight Ward? He tells the 168 champion, the man to beat, who has a win over him, to come to come to England? Is he coked up with Hatton and Calzaghe?

It doesn't really matter that Ward is the champion and that he beat him. Froch sells tickets and is a PPV attraction. Ward isn't.

Ward is a great fighter, but this is sour g****s.

No one wants to fight in Jokeland for peanuts, with Ward's hometown ref and judges.

Froch may be an inferior fighter, but he's the money man. Andre can't even sell out his hometown

Of course it matters, you don't tell the champion and P4P #2 fighter where to fight you, when he already beat you and you are the fighter that should want to avenge that loss where ever. Unless Ward was a good journeyman who just happens to be the champion, or was robbed vs Froch and deserves a rematch, I don't see why Ward should bend over for Froch. The first fight was in AC, New Jersey where the cards were too close for comfort.

Please link me to official PPV numbers for Froch's career.

No-one wants to fight ward.

there is that but i think the more accurate statement ward is not willing to make any consessions to make these fights happen. He always wants everything in the negotiation his way and thinks he is floyd or something that he can demand it.

He needs to realize that he is not the draw ... chavez jnr, froch etc have way more fans and brings in way more money than he does. they are fighting for millions he's doing well to pull in anything like that.

And anyway what would another win over froch do for his resume/popularity? ...nothing
what would a win over chavez do? ... nothing
he needs to quit *****ing about these guys and move up light heavy where the two monsters are.

yeah meanwhile froch fights in packed out stadiums and brings in millions while ward can't sell out his own home town... pride doesn't pay the bills ...
