Comments Thread For: Goossen Files $10 Million Defamation Suit at Andre Ward

[JmH Reborn]

Ward about to take another L.

Man, the wheels came off after the S6. Based off his inactivity, is hard to know if he's a p4p talent anymore. Oh well, don't know and don't care who's right or wrong, I had just enjoyed watching him fight.

Ward who? Rip Van Andre. He needs to slow his metabolism, this is a long term exile he's looking at.

23. The promotional agreement between Goossen and Ward was negotiated by and through their respective counsel, and the agreement went through several drafts before being signed by the parties. In the negotiations, Ward stressed his increased value in the marketplace and used that asserted·market value to force a substantial in.creas.e in his fees and to obtain a signing bonus.

Ward's "slave" contract

[Russian Crushin]

Ward was given an offer to fight kessler, yet he turned it down and then complained that Goossen wouldnt get him fights?

Wanted to fight a tune up after his shoulder surgery but rejected everyone for 6 months after his 6 month hiatus but then demanded his contract only be extended for the 6 month surgery and not the next 6 months in which he wouldnt fight.

Ward's "slave" contract

Where'd you get that?

And I feel bad for Ward, that's horrible!

[Inkanyamba]

Goosen is real emotional... Ward got out of your slave contract and this is how you do him? Real smooth, I'm sure this is going to get other up and comers to join your vibrant stable...idiot.

Very interesting read, as well as the decision handed down, a UD for Goossen. (The 2nd time none the less)

Ward's going to need a tune up lawsuit after this.

So I guess we won't see Andre Ward in the ring until 2018 now?

We are seeing Dan Goosen dry humping Ward in his ring. That's enough for now

ward is getting owned by goosen


andre "son of goosen" ward

Hilarious. This will stick and be used, no doubt!!

No question. Who has a better resume than Goosen this year? He's defeated the number 2 pound for pound fighter like 3 times. Every time Ward attacks Goosen answers with a quick, crisp counter.

He should be rated above Floyd right now.

Damn son, that topped the lot and had me laughing!!

This thread made me laugh with the witty replies. Shame it's such a sad situation that a super talented fighter is just pissing his career away. It's kinda mind boggling

Lol @ "Son Of Goosen" and the idea of Goosen being ranked #2 Pound-4-Pound.
