Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Ward: Promoter Doesn't See Financial Sense

[just the facts]

Ward has ducked all talk of Kovalev. GGG said he'll fight Ward. Huge difference.

When did GGG say he would fight Ward? I see where making this up fits your agenda. But it's simply not true

[pesticid]

Looks like all of Ward's GGG name-dropping has worked to keep his name relevant. Funny how GGG is held to a higher standard than anyone else in the sport. He's already expected to fight the best in higher divisions, while the supposed P4P #1 never has to defend his 154 title at the full 154 and the P4P #2 gets a pass for cleaning out his division and looking to the lower divisions for competition. Guess GGG really is the goods.

****ing A!

He's always said it. You'd have to create a lie to fill your agenda.

When has Ward said he'd fight Kovalev?

daf**k are you talking about ? GGG team is running like hell when they hear Ward. It's all excuses since two years

You're nitpicking. He says right there he wants to move to 175 and fight the best. AFAIK GGG never said Ward is scared of him (or anyone else, he respect box). They'll entertain offers outside of their weightclass if lucrative enough. Ward not only hasn't sent a lucrative offer, he hasn't sent any. What's the holdup?

That's actually not what he said. He basically said that he intends to move up after there's nothing left at SMW, but he has potential action with several fighters at 168 that will make him a lot of money. GGG if he chooses to move up at some point, rematches with Kessler and Froch, and Chavez Jr. The first thing he did was win titles and fight the best. He gets decent paychecks on HBO, but I'm not adverse to him getting a big payday, seeing that he's the man at 168 and P4P #2. Admittedly though, much of why he doesn't get those paydays is his own fault

GGG has not declared anyone afraid of him, but Abel Sanchez and the gang certainly has, and that's how many boxing fans worldwide view him. Sanchez has stated more than once that nobody at 154-168 will face GGG, and have built in excuses for why they wouldn't. The same excuses that his team use on a regular basis for not fighting SOG.

"If I win the tournament and beat Bute, it would be everything I could achieve [at that weight]. Therefore, in the future I do intend to move up. I want to win titles and face the best."

That quote is from 05/11/2011, and here we are on 07/27/2014 and Andre Ward is still at 168. I shouldn't have to mention to you that a lot of things change over a 3 year period, such as the potential mega money matches with the guys I listed above. It's not nitpicking, it's being realistic. If a guy doesn't follow through with something over 36 months after saying it, you should expect that it's not gonna happen, and not even bother posting something that old as evidence. I COULD nitpick, but I'm not gonna, because this is actually a good discussion, which I don't get much here lol.

You mean like Ward is running from Kovalev? "Guys, I'm not a LHW.".

Did Ward said he would beat anybody at 175 lbs like GGG's team said he would do from 154 lbs to 168lbs ?

Ward said he'd beat Klitschko. But he wont even move up and face a Kovalev. I can't even imagine the ridicule GGG would get if he said he could beat Klitschko, but to you Ward pseudo fans, it's acceptable.

lol everytime one of GGG's d1ckrider is trapped and has nothing to say they relay with that Klitschko's bull****. Everybody knows that fight aint realistic

Go to 8:15, and hear Golovkin say "No, Andre Ward is too much for me not today." Because GGG is still learning English (doing a damned good job too), I construed it 1 of 2 ways:

1. Andre Ward is too good for me. Now is not a good time to fight him.

2. Andre Ward is too big for me, and I'm not fighting at 168 at this time.

Either of which are acceptable and respectable, because he's intelligent enough to know his own limits, and understand that he needs time to grow, unlike his team, who thinks he's the boogeyman and everyone is running scared.

Both of these scenarios kill my argument against HeroBando hilariously enough lol.
