Yesterday I read that Roc Nations is now only looking at Ward fighting 2x this year instead of three. Today Kim tweets on Ward 'butting' with HBO over his tune-up.
This guy might be Peter Quillin ******. How does he not understand that with his high minimum, he can't just expect to take blow-off fights? He points out it's a double standard with Golovkin, but he never mentions Golovkin gets less than half of what he gets for about the same ratings.
If he was smart, he'd let Roc Nation put him on Fox or ESPN for a couple fights and rebuild his brand. Yeah he doesn't get much money for it, but advertising costs money!
Word in the industry is that Andre Ward and HBO are butting heads because Ward wants an expensive tune-up fight, network is balking #boxing
