Comments Thread For: Ward: I Told Golovkin's Promoter - Stop Lying To Fans!

[i'm a fun haver]

GGG should publicly call for this fight next! He has to wait for Cotto vs. Canelo to be done this year, so why not face Ward in the meantime?

Because Ward is fighting 2 or 3 tune ups.
You think Ward will fight 2 or 3 tune ups before fighting GGG in September of this year?

re 2nd gif, the man knocking down Manny is Kazakhstani like Golovkin, good choice

I think K2 can talk to HBO, and this fight can happen in October or December 2015! I believe Ward, because I've read right here on BS, where K2 was talking about the fight didn't make "financial sense." There is nothing else available for GGG. No Froch, no Chavez Jr., no Mayweather, No Cotto, no Canelo! Ward vs. Golovkin @ 168 in 2015! Make It Happen!

Even Roc Nation's exec David Itskowich says the time isn't right for GGG vs Ward.
I guess you know better though.

I fully agree with you... (And I'm waiting for Andre Ward to publicly agree with this also...)

"GGG is as white as Andre Ward is..."

Very true: Golovkin is half Russian, half North-Korean... Ward is half Irish and half Afro-American...

Fighting as "Irish" Andre Ward would increase Soggy's fan base by about 1000%
and sell a ton more tickets for his next fight than talking **** about GGG.

Ward's hero is Floyd... therefore I don't see Andre self promoting himself as "Irish"...

Golovkin versus Andre Ward seems to be a close second. While Ward and Golovkin both have said that they’ll fight each other, Golovkin’s promoter made it clear in the aftermath of Golovkin’s third-round knockout of Daniel Geale on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden that the dollars might not make sense for Golovkin or Ward.

Golovkin would have to move up from 160 pounds to 168 to make the fight, but that’s not what truly concerns Tom Loeffler, managing director of K2 Promotions.

“That’s a fight that’s going to be tough to make, if only because of the financial situation,” Loeffler said. “Gennady would go to 168. Carl Froch sold 80,000 tickets in Wembley Stadium. That’s a testament to his marketability. Chavez is a proven pay-per-view star. Andre Ward is a terrific fighter and we have a lot of respect for his boxing ability.

“But the finances for that fight doesn’t make sense for Gennady to go up to 168, when there’s so many big names at 160. Andre’s going to want a big chunk of that money. And for Gennady to move up, he’s going to want a big chunk of the money, just like he was going to get to fight Chavez. That was a pay-per-view financial structure, and the money was there to make that fight.”

That was a bad move on K2's part, not Ward! Now it's K2's time to call Roc Nation, and ask for the fight!

HBO execs to GGG and Ward:"Are you ready to fight?"
GGG:"Yes"
Ward:"Muh bum shoulder!" "Muh promotional issues!"

Do you have a link to a statement from an HBO exec saying Ward turned down this fight, or do you have a statement from someone from Team Golovkin saying this? My quote is directly from the horse's mouth. I'll wait for your link!
