Suing the CSAC, it's almost certain he'll be out of the ring for atleast another year. He'll skip right over his prime years. Though Ali and SRL lost some of their prime years aswell.
Ward could've been making $2million per fight, 2-3 times per year for just another couple years under his 'slave' contract, but instead he's wasting money in court and now being sued while making nothing. Worst of all, he's lost his momentum from the S6 and even the Dawson fight and there's not really anyone at 168 for him to fight where he can rebuild his brand like it was.
It seems like Ward is really in over his head. He should stay in the ring and out of the court room. His legal tactics are proving to be less effective than his boxing skills.
As dumb as suing the CSAC sounds.... it's not out of the realm of Ward to do considering he has been in arbitration three times and lost and now is trying sue Goosen.
I mean, those court documents Crushin posted is pretty damning
Ward's contract with Goossen gives him a minimum of 1.75 mil per fight. Slave contract doe
"Ward demanded and received a $550,000 signing bonus plus a
dramatic improvement in his fees per bout, with a minimum of $1,750,000 plus pay-per-view percentages. In his first bout under the subject new agreement, Ward received and retained $1.750 million dollars and in his second bout under the new agreement Ward received and retained $1.9 million, for a total of$3.65 million"
This explains why he spends so much time not fighting, and why he's feverishly chasing Chavez. I don't like Ward in or out of the ring enough to hope he returns soon.
