Andre Ward update

[Pigeons]

Not surprising. HBO hates American fighters.

What does he want? 2 million to fight a couple more Edwin Rodriguez's?

Rios got 2 mil to fight Diego chavez

There was an article here last month with Cedric Agnew saying he was approached. Agnew said he'd goto 168, but that it would be hard to make the weight. Ward fighting a weight drained Agnew or even Fedor Chudinov for over $2mill is on par with Danny Garcia getting $1mill for Rod Salka.

Ward has almost no options at 168 as of right now.

Ward deserves every penny he asks for. The guy just has to suck his lips and fans drool! No wonder that's all he does.

Didn't you say Chaves is a good fighter?

[Ivansmamma]

Ward has great skill and talent but he seems to constantly make bad career decision... Just fight, beat one or two top ten guys then make a big money fight against Kovalev, Golovkin, Pascal or whatever...

Other fighters arent exactly lining up to fight Ward cause he brings great risk and not so much money so he should take what he can get until he gets what he wants...

No. Rios got $925k for Chavez. Tim Bradley got $2mill. The same Tim Bradley who had 3 ppvs fights with Pacquiao & Marquez.

Edwin rod and Chavez are about the same level

[Slyboots]

Careful, HBO. You don't want to butt heads with Andre Ward.

On a serious note, I just hope he gets back into the ring. While I'm not the biggest fan of his or his fighting style, he's still one of the best fighters in the world and deserves to be on the big stage.

Shock and awe, a guy who drastically overvalues himself is drastically overvaluing himself.
