^^^^^^^^ This!

I'm hoping Ward takes the rest of 2015 off. And why shouldn't he? He has a busy HBO commentating gig every other month; when would he train?

[turnedup]

Isn't Ward with the same promotion company that was going to pay Quillen 1.4million, when they didn't have a dog in the fight?

So yes his promoter will over pay him and Froch and lose money.

Do you know why they offered Qullin that money? Because I don't think you do. It was their first event as a company, in a borough where Quillin has a following. They also paid a ton of celebrities to attend the fight. It's a standard practice to lose money upon introducing your company via an event that can be chalked up to promotional expenses. It is not a standard practice to pay a fighter upwards of five million to perform for 5,000 people. The quillin bout would've gotten them a premium cable date and airtime and the fee for the fight would've likely more than covered his cost.

That's Ward's way of saying no. Ward likes to bend the rules so he fights close to home. Ward will probably demand an unfair share of the money if Froch agrees to fight him in the USA.I don't think Ward wants to fight Froch. He beat him before but he knows Froch is still a very hard fight.

Roc Nation has money, what they don't have is exposure. They need their first big fight. I bet they're willing to take a loss to get their name as the lead promoter for Ward-Froch 2. I anticipate a bid in the high $3s.

I'm sure Matchroom would go higher than that.

Looking at the purse split in the other post though, 75%-25% for Regular vs Super champion, we can probably forget about this fight.

As the bigger draw, Froch would want more than 25%, and something tells me Andre would be a difficult man to negotiate with on an issue like that.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Klitschko-Povetkin was 75%-25%.

Hmmm...if that's the case here, I can see Froch vacating if it goes to purse bids. There's no way he'll fight for 25% nor should he.

This pretty much sums it all up. Ward you are irrelevant in boxing atm moment, Froch is the man and as it stand for you you are more in line of a has been.

Who even said he is dictating anything all the cobra said was let's get it on actors th bloody pond.
I don't get why Ward won't fight him in ****ingham. It's easy work for Ward and a big payday.

[tachie01]

But if Froch doesn't need the fight how is he started to thinking on a second Ward fight all that sudden just after a month he said he doesn't want it and he wouldn't have much chance?
But anyways it's not whatever? I mean, if they both want it and they can't argue it will go to a pursue bid and we'll find out where the fight will take place. I think if Hearn would win the bid than Ward would travel.

Damn man! Use your spell check. Or better yet, try hooked on phonics. Reading your struggles Is funny doe! Lmao!
