Comments Thread For: Hearn on Ward: Froch Dictates Everything in This Fight!

[Eastcoast]

Except the results of the fight!

If this actually comes off on the other side of the pond, I predict Ward by KO.

War SOG!!!

He is effective at putting the viewers to sleep.

This is a pretty good comment, imo, except the last sentence.

We have no idea what sorts of numbers are being tossed around behind closed doors. It's currently fashionable to call Ward a diva, but without good knowledge of all the particulars, that's all it is. The facts could just as easily add up to butthurt Froch fans. I mean, is AW actually any more ****y and demanding than Froch? Really? Or is it just that you feel that he has a greater right to be?

froch simply holds the cards in this situation. ward is being offered a treasure trove to face a guy he has already clearly beaten, only conceding location - which is something the fans have been begging him to do anyway - and a few points of the purse. froch would be the clear favourite to lose and he could make more or at least equal money elsewhere, so he's mainly just offering this fight out of pride

Ward does have options.

Name them?

Doesn't matter, let it go to purse bid. Roc Nation will outbid Hearn, and Froch will either drop that belt or get his ass on a plane. No need for a back and forth here.

If he drops the belt Ward still doesn't get paid.

Lol

While WBA are at it , they should mandate Quigg and rigo to fight one another

Lmao


And Jacobs and golovkin

Watch how quickly Quigg and Jacobs vacate

Quigg and Jacobs seem to be actually defending their paper belts though.

The reason they've ordered this is because Froch has been inactive for almost a year and Ward for well over.

The WBA aren't getting their sanctioning fees.

This is going to purse bid and Roc Nation will easily outbid Hearn. Sorry Froch fans this fight won't be in the UK. Froch should go after somebody he can actually beat anyway.

Even if they could there's no point in them out-bidding Hearn, Ward loses out completely if that happens.

Of course there's a point. Froch and Hearn think they will dictate everything, and outbidding them won't allow them to control anything. If Froch wants to vacate at that point then that's on him. I think Andre would rather forget the fight instead of being dictated by a guy he already beat.

Damn, these Kats aint even hiding it! They are basically saying that they want him in England so Froch can get revenge by robbing him...lol.

And you'd be wrong. There's a reason he has responded and Roc Nation have told Hearn they are interested in the the fight. It's about the money, Froch is Ward's biggest payday.

[PittyPat]

Ward has only fought twice since inflicting a first career defeat on the Nottingham fighter in Atlantic City

Wait, what...? Kessler took Froch's "0" more than a year prior, you eejit writer. Yes it was close and Froch probably should've won it, but yet again it's poor copyediting by BS.

Oh wait, look at the author - it's Boxing (not so) Clever again. :eyeroll:
