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

[Dirk Diggler UK]

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 it really doesn't matter. Ward wants a payday obviously and fighting Froch in the UK would give him that so it's up to him.

I don't know what the official numbers are but he fights on PPV and Ward doesn't. He and Kessler both made at least double what Ward made for his fight with Dawson. Ward wants a PPV fight so again, it's up to him.

Whether its morally right or wrong, Froch holds the cards.

He wants Ward in the UK. It's up to Ward if he wants to come and get paid or stay fighting Delvin Rodriguez's

There's a popular saying in my country: "The horse is dieing from long rides and the ****** is dieing because he's obsessed by other people business"...

Enlightening!.

Right... Then why Ward wanted to fight Froch at the Wembley stadium? Did Ward think that he himself is selling that 70,000 -- 80,000 tickets? Huh?

[Daddy T]

look it's simple ... froch's next fight is PPV no matter what ... groves, chavez ...whatever

Ward's next fight is in front of a 3 people (one of whom will probably sleep through it) ... but he doesn't want that. He wants it to be a big PPV so he can make $$$

so 1+1 = Ward needs to quit acting like a jealous *** and and make concessions.

/end debate

Fify........

What's with the hating? Ward is right. He wanted to fight Chavez Jr too but that isn't what he's talking about, he's saying that Froch keeps bringing him up but doesn't follow through.

Ward is a more respectful guy than Froch, both should be respected anyway and people have their preferences but Ward should be getting more credit than he is not just as a fighter but as a person too.
