Comments Thread For: Golovkin, Team Say They Are Not Ducking Andre Ward

[Dirk Diggler UK]

No I understand quite clearly. Ward wants to give the most feared fighter in boxing a shot. GGG would make more vs. Ward than he has most likely made in his last 6 fights combined. More importantly he would give him a shot at the P4P mantle. A way for GGG to validate his hype. GGG says no. It is sad and unacceptable. He is not a throwback fighter. He is just another protected, money hungry diva. That's fine. Disappointing, but what can I do?

I've got news for you. So is Andre Ward and every other fighter in boxing at the elite level.

[Straightener]

Pacquaio is a PPV fighter. Neither Ward nor Golovkin are.



I think Andre Ward being boring as *** and having no personality has more to do with the fact that he's not a PPV star. Ward is going to be B-side 4 life

Bingo

Ward is getting left on the shelf

He really doesn't, he wants to fight Chavez. He started talking Golovkin when Sanchez said they were focusing on 160 and Ward fell out with his promoter. Easy talk when you've no intention of fighting.

The question was...Is Pacquiao vs. Algeri more PPV worthy than Ward vs. GGG? Do you think that Pacquiao vs. Algeri would net more revenue than Ward vs. GGG?

Let Andre come down to 160 like dawson

[MC Hammer]

Not one sensible boxing fan thinks Golovkin is ducking Ward




Like.... It's not even possible to duck a guy who is a division above you, hasn;t fought in a year, and doesn't even have a promoter.



On a side note: Did Ward retire or is he still training?

It has been said Ward is ducking Kovlev, Its been said that Mayweather was ducking Canelo and GGG. The only time that a fighter can't duck someone above them, at least on NSB, is when that fighter is a brawler.

Pure boxers duck everyone in the business regardless of size or value

Obviously GGG vs Ward is the better fight but that doesn't really matter. Pacquaio is a PPV star and can fight pretty much anyone and be on PPV.

Neither GGG nor Ward are that well known to the general public and no it wouldn't generate more.

Very long winded way of saying, "we want no part of Ward."

Yeah, Ward is scared h1tless of the 33yr old prospect.

Ward says GGG is ducking him, but if the fight were to me made, GGG would have to go up 8 lbs, the fight would have to be in Oakland, and Ward would want a much bigger chunk of the pie. For someone who can't sell out his high school gym, his demands are pretty high.
