    Ward knows he can easily beat Kessler and if the fight really does take place in Denmark then expect a huge payday for Ward. Perhaps the biggest payday of his career.

      We'll need random blood and urine tests. Would be awesome to see Ward get tested outside of Oakland!

        Ward would allegedly take home the HBO money plus part of the gate while Kessler takes the PPV money from Denmark.

        I dont know exactly how much Ward's biggest purse has been so far. Maybe 2.5M?

          Would be awesome if they test Ward just after he has put his gloves on just like they did with Kessler in jOakland. Let Ward have some of special Goosen treatment lol.

            I've always been a Kessler fan, and wouldn't of minded seeing Ward Vs Kessler II a few years back. I think the rematch is past its sell by date now though.

            Can't see Ward fighting outside of America also.

              Good fight. Don't understand why people are hating on this match-up. It's better than the last dud Ward fought that's for sure. Going into the deep end in Parken or Boxen with 15-30k fans screaming for his guts, fair non-joakland refs - It will be an interesting prospect.

              Kessler is not as 'shot' as many people are claiming he is, he's just not as good as he was in '06-'08. He can give Ward a good fight, and you know he still has that 1 punch KO power. If that lands on Ward's chin, it's lights out.

                I think he got 2mil against Rodriguez, that was his biggest purse.

                  Haha yeah, and let him wait 1 hour for the doctor, so he can only warm up 10 minutes.

                    They fought already... or did you not know that?

                      Yeah as I wrote in another post, this is far and away the toughest assignment Ward has had since the s6 even though Kessler is quite clearly on the downside of his career.
