Comments Thread For: Golovkin Promoter: Not Enough Money For Andre Ward

[mathed]

Aaaah.....

How could Ward possibly compete with the PPV legend that is Gennady Golovkin.

Excuse #7 duly noted ^^

But somehow, I dont think the world actually forget that Ward is likely the most well-rounded fighter in the game today.

That sounds like an Able Sanchez type excuse LOL

But you are cool with Ward fight Paul Smith doe?

And "everybody else" includes Andre Ward, which is actually what Loefler is saying. The thread title is literally true. Even if GGG did it for free, there would not be enough money in this fight right now to pay Ward's wages alone. If he wants $2million for a tune up, how much do you think he would want for fighting GGG?



Only in your head, mate.

Exactly.......people don't want to hear that, they want any way possible to get GGG out of the picture before too many fans really get on the GGG-Mayweather bandwagon. Don't let them twist it around, people are truly scared of what could happen if those two guys fight.

Funny how money becomes an issue when victory isn't guaranteed, huh?

They know what's up!

Since December 2011 Ward has fought TWICE against drained SMWs coming down to meet him. TWICE!

Since December 2011, Golovkin has fought ELEVEN TIMES! ELEVEN!!!

If there is anyone who needs to get some fights in to build up his name and make this fight marketable so that people want to pay to see it, it is not GGG. And fighting Paul Smith is not the way to go about it.

Give some names and their weights for their 5 previous fights.

(dawson came down to 168 on his own after talking sh^t that he'll go down to 168 and beat ward)

^^^This here.

GGG is ducking Ward plain and simple.

GGG last fight: I want Cotto, and ALvarez, NOW not in the future !!
Max Kellerman : What about Ward ?!
GGG : Well... hmmmm... you.. know ward great fighter... after Alvarez and Cotto in the future

8min15. GGG : Ward is too much for me right now.




And the money excuse is total crap. If GGG was to move up and destroy Ward, he would immediately become a star and crack the top 5 pound for pound, all his following fights would be on ppv and he would eventually get Cotto and Alvarez.

Like this poster said, money is only and issue when youre not guaranteed the W.

Wake me up when GGG fight an actual threat, not some other tomato cans

[pacmanis1]

Since Boxingscene is full of big time promoters and cable execs how much money would this fight cost and what is the most HBO's ever spent? Honest question.

Its a tune-up.

Yep, I'm fine with a tune-up.

Shall we discuss Algieri ?

Yup

The excuses given by Golovkin to duck..... ooops, I mean..... " dismiss ", a Ward fight..... are fkn funny considering that.....

..... it is highly unlikely that Golovkin could beat Ward
