The "WTF" is Andre "SOG" Ward doing with his career thread

[Fr3$h]

He doesn't seem to understand that his career is an investment. If he just compromises and does what's left on his contract, fights outside of Oakland, etc., maybe he won't be making Froch/Groves money now but he can cash in later.

Or he can just sue everyone and try to dictate terms way before he's a household name and end up with $0.00 minus legal fees.

He isn't a Manny, DLH, etc. He isn't a household name anywhere. If he walks up and lays his 20 million dollars to fight in Oakland terms down people will laugh at him.

Dawson wanted the fight at 168.

Not to mention:

Ill make the weight, no problem, Dawson said. Im still eating. I told everyone I could make 168. I wasn;t saying it to sell a fight, I was saying it because I can do it. We have talked about moving to 168 for the last few years. When I finally had the opportunity to do it, I did it.

Come on now, you seriously think Chad Dawson wanted the fight at 168? He wanted it just as much as Canelo wanted the Mayweather fight at 150.

There's a difference between being willing to and actually wanting to.

I think this is another question you raised here.

What promotion company would wan to work with him at the moment.

If i saw the way hes behaving and throw in the fact he currently cant draw jack diddly squat, then would you touch him with a barge pole if you were a promoter? He sounds like a horrible risk reward to be honest.

Perhaps he should join team Money mayweather or whatever that bullsh,it is called???

Based on the way he talked about wanting to be a two weight champion on the escalation to the fight, and about talking about he wanted to go to 168 before the Ward fight... yeah I really don't think he minded it at all, tbh.

Now if he could pick any weight he wanted... Im sure he would of picked 175... but that's a far cry from Ward weight draining Dawson, and forcing him down. There wasn't a shred of banter on Dawsons part, he had zero problems with it.

He tried to negotiate a 170lbs catchweight and Ward's team said no.

I think he thinks he's floyd or something....but even with his resume he aint selling tickets at all....and people dont know who he is......he should play the bad guy....people already dont like him....he should do what bradley started to do after this 1st manny fight

Ward is just wasting prime and his potential fans.

[junior gong]

Ward is watching his prime and his career drift away.

I thought I read something on here that his legal issues had been decided in favor of his promoter.
