Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: Froch is on Vacation, So I Picked Smith

[Sweet Pea 50]

I know Ward ain't talking about somebody being on vacation.

No dude. You're an idiot if you really believe that this is how the law works. And your sense of honor that seems to only benefit the people with the resources and attorneys to draft up contracts for others to sign is quite backward. So you're telling me that it's 100% Ward's responsibility to enter into a fair agreement and the promoter Dan Goosen is free to manipulate the situation to his advantage as long as Ward doesn't notice. That's the biggest crock of non sense I've ever heard. In your imaginary world where contractual law and your weird individual honor code coexist there wouldn't be any need for courts and judges. Just sign the contract and no matter what is written in the contract it's just automatically binding cause you're a man of your word. I think you get your ideas about the law from GI Joe or Leave it to Beaver. Definitely not from reality.

You are responsible for the contracts you sign. If you do not read it properly or do not get proper legal representation to do it for you, you are an idiot and deserve what happens. Now Ward is free of his contract, after losing in court THREE TIMES, so I guess it wasn't such a poor contract after all, and fighting a nobody on a network nobody watches. While instead he could have been fighting on HBO earning good money instead of paying it in court fees and be free of his contract by now and be able to continue his career with decent opponents and most likely still fighting on HBO.

Yep. He's come a hell of a long way. A real genius this guy is. I guess god wasn't available to give his son the contract advice he needed before signing.

Ward's so inactive someone mistook him for a Panda and threw his ass in a Chinese zoo.

Come to think of it - that's probably the only way anyone will pay to watch him.

Okay dude. This is about your intense dislike of Andre Ward. You're coming out of left field with every negative thought you've ever had about the guy. It's really not that deep. A sucker is born everyday is what the business tycoons of old used to say. And your whole attitude towards signees being able to dispute the legitimacy of a contractrual agreement that they have entered into seems to lengthen the leash for that kind of business philosophy.

I like Ward but, c'mon man... I guess to be a great fighter now days you camp out at a weight class you already cleaned out and pick off all the new guys who are moving up from the weight class below, a la Mayweather. Ward needs to move up and move on. You already beat Froch bro!?!? Froch don't want no parts of you. What else is there at SMW?

SOG owning Froch in the media lol, hes on vacation, we couldn't find him. Froch must genuinely be terrified to stake his legacy against Ward, fear of being stopped after being dropped hard by Groves and shook to the foundations by Kessler must weigh heavy on his mind.

Time for him to vacate or retire.

Way to stick it to that coward. Great job Andre. Froch can stay in the UK fighting bums if he chooses to, Andre holds the dub over him for LIFE.
