HBO rejects Ward/Oosthuizen

[Cuban Linx]

Why not Cedric Agnew?

He called out Ward a few months back. He's willing to come down to 168 as well

Edit: Never mind, just saw that he lost his last fight.

[Barcham]

They'll accept Willie Munson Jr doe

GGG isn't asking $2 million for the fight. Ward is.

[Eastcoast]

Ward could take short money on Fox Sports (evidently his fight contract with HBO is up as indicated by Dan and earlier by Itskowitch), and he'd recover alot of his momentum.

Just foolish, he could've had 2-3 fights by end of summer and been ready for a big fight at the end of the year.

Spike TV wouldnt be a bad idea

itll draw for exposure.

Money may be problem though

Yeah man I understand Ward wants and needs a tune up but ward needs to understand he gonna have to swallow his pride and take a L in the money and TV department. Whats that saying a small setback for a major comeback that exactly where hes at right now, and ward getting older to be pretending like he has all the time in the world, gotta start making moves.

He just lost few weeks ago to a guy that was 11-3. He also mentioned it would be very difficult to drop down to 168 but he wouldn't pass up the money.

How could Golovkin ask for $2million when he's never even made a million?

Spike TV is Haymon and Haymon will not deal with Roc Nation.

As for Showtime, they also turned down Ward recently as wanting too much money for a tune up fight.

Won't accept IBO champion, will accept ESPN Boxcino champion

[JJRod]

I don't think HBO really wants Ward back. These haven't been the only opponents they've declined.
They either want him against a big name or not at all.

Oosthuizen's actually the 175lb IBO champ, makes more sense as a Kovalev opponent than Ward.
