Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Speaks On Layoff, Thoughts of Retirement

[roademier]

everyone hating on ward are idiots.


the man was willing too retire too prove a point too his old promoter.

pay me what I think I deserve or I wont fight again.


ward did what was best for his career.

if he stayed with goosen he would make about 2 million dollars per fight no matter who he fought, because that's all hbo would put up for his fights because he isn't a draw.

with roc nation he has guaranteed money on his contract no matter who he fights.

it was smart business.

after Saturday, ggg will no longer have an excuse not too fight. nor will the rest of the 168 division.

and when he moves too 175, Kathy duva has already said that she has had talks with ward's people about ward vs kovalev and that it will happen next year.


so stop with all the excuses for ggg and stop saying ward is scared of kovalev because Kathy duva said the fight has been discussed for next year

We'll see soon enough whether Andre and Roc Nation made wise decisions.

and ward thought he deserved more than he's worth. roc nation over paid for a guy who's not a draw. big mistake by them and for boxing. we could have been done with ward but uhh now they are bringing him back and overpaying him.

ward himself said he didn't want to fight ggg and kept making up excuses. stop defending this complete coward, and now fighting at 172 is another excuse. no one at 168 will have to fight him now that he's fighting in his own division that he made up and ggg certainly isn't going up to 172. ward is just collecting those easy paydays now that he's with roc nation. they got a giant dud. i bet they regret that signing.

roc nation over paid? is that andre ward's fault?


ward is getting more with roc nation than he was getting with goosen and that was his goal.

how the hell is that bad for boxing? Floyd,cotto,oscar,bradley all left their original promoters for better deals. were those bad for boxing too?

mikey Garcia wishes he could catch that break right now.


and cut the bull****, ward is fighting at 172 because he has been inactive for a year and a half.

those 4 pounds are too ensure he makes weight after a long layoff

ggg doesn't wanna fight the best 168 fighter, instead he wants too fight the 2nd best 168 guy in froch and the 3rd best 168 guy in degale.

you want ward too go away so ggg doesn't have too fight him.
I want too see ggg go though ward not duck him.

I believe golovkin is the real deal, but if he moves too 168 too fight anybody other than ward he is ducking. i'll give him a pass if its froch.

im a real fan. I like ggg just as much as sog, but I know just like all true boxing fans know ward will spank golovkin when he gets his chance and it looks like that may be sooner than later with all the back and forth lately.


and ward vs kovalev is coming in 2016 according too Kathy duva.

stay tuned
