How does Goosen's passing affect Andre Ward's contract?

[sicko]

Contract Remains! Goossen Passing doesn't change anything as far as Contract goes. He is in a Contract, he needs to go out and fight until he is a damn Free Agents instead of sitting around. Be apparently he is willing to do that, the real problem now seems to be finding an opponent that HBO and fans will ACCEPT.

One of his sons likely Craig Goossen will take over I'm sure!

He died today?

****. This is sudden. I didn't even know Goosen had passed away.

I didn't know he was sick until yesterday. It's very sad to see one of the few (ostensibly) good promoters pass away.

I hope the **** with Ward can get hashed out, it's a shame it didn't happen while he was alive.

Deym, even in grave Ward is ****!!!

That's not a good thing.

its a contract, it doesnt ripped up just because the man just died.

[Razor Ramon]

Legally he's under contract to the promotional company so the suit doesn't just vaporise, it'll depend on the attitude of whoever takes over the company, they may still want to see this through to the bitter end, they may decide settle it somehow and get it over with. I got the feeling the bad blood was between Ward and Goosen particularly.

Why is this the first thing you think of after the man's just died? I don't even think about Andre Ward at the best of times.

Why would it change anything? He's under contract to his promotional company.

The Big Goose will continue to pwn Ward from the beyond.

ahahaha he sure will

rip dan. You were a great promoter.

[Nay_Sayer]

Dan Goossen made it very clear to me in many private conversations he would never settle with Ward. It was THAT personal for him #boxing

[SterlingStained]

Well, J Prince is Ward's manager.....

j prince is a known killer. he is not one to be F'd with.

[A.K]
