Why did GGG not fight Ward the lineal champ at 168 but choose Chavez?

[HeroBando]

wow.. everything about that is wrong. hid first fight at ww was against paulie, for which he got very criticized. maidana was a fight thefans asked for and broner merely obliged. maidana did have credentials at the weight toom he knocked out josesito lopez and soto-karass.

Ok so Broner tested the waters against 2 welter fringe contenders, failed once and a close call another time to major underdogs who didnt have a single clear cut top 10 win at welter combined. Maybe Josesito, borderline, well offset by shutout to Devon

I cant figure out why anyone wouldn't want to see GGG and Fake Jr get it on. Its an amazing matchup

It's funny: Ward wanted the Jr. fight... Froch wanted the Jr. fight...

... But it landed with Golovkin...

I can understand why some people here are so pissed off...

Jr rather fight the smaller guy anyway.

[Larry the boss]

He followed the mayweather business moto.
Ward gets GGG 2.5M/promoter issues / a guy with no ppv history

Chavez gets him 4M Likely, can be signed tonight

Ok so i take it you think going for the fight that makes you more money is smart then right?

[MDPopescu]

Who is pushing for this fight? Arum -- by coincidence?

Is Ward even available to fight in July?

[thuggery]

Ward isn't in a position to take a fight as he's currently having some falling out with his current promoter..

But like many have stated, Floyd fans will do anything to defend Stevenson's blatant duck of Kovalev.

No, its been established that Broner can't contend with the best and should go back to padding his record by fighting blown up featherweights.

you mean like ggg has been doing with jr mw's???

[Craveman]

You wanted a excuse. I think I'd listen to Mayweather's word what he said to Broner about taking it easy. And are you admitting Golovkin's that good that he should face Ward?
