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

[bigjavi973]

"be honest" says the guy who on 3 or 4 occasions had courts rule that his allegations against Goosen were completely false. LOL what a clown........

So you was there when Ward was talking to Leoffler?

[bigjavi973]

It's actually Ward that has been carefully marketed.

GGG has taken risks, and fought all over the world: Monaco, USA, Germany.

Andre Ward will not fight a decent opponent outside his home country. He always demands his most comfortable weight, home advantage, etc. And inside the ring, Ward has always been defense-first, and when he feels in jeopardy, he resorts to illegal tactics.

It's obvious from his Ward is extremely envious of Golovkin. They don't even fight in the same weight division.

Ward has fought the BETTER competition. I know it hurts

I think it would be in GGG's best interest too!

Absolutely. As a fan, I want Ward/Golovkin above all other fights. That said I understand the factors holding it back.

If RN were to front the money for the minimum purse guarantees, I think the fight becomes viable this year. Based on other similar small-scale ppvs (like Bradley/Marquez), they should easily be able to reach atleast 300k buys, which after tv cut, is still $9mill. If Ward concedes Golovkin is the A side, I think there's enough there with ppv, gate, and foreign tv to make the fight. Especially if Vegas offers to buy it.

RN is already losing money on Ward. BET is a time buy, they're giving away tickets do to poor sales at Oracle. Ward has no other options after Smith. If he fights and beats Golovkin, he instantly gets back the momentum he lost since S6/Dawson.

On Golovkin's side, should he win - his resume instantly becomes golden. His hype is legitimized and with his aggressive style he becomes a bonafide star opening doors for other mega fights.

Ward fought then-champion Mikkel Kessler in Oakland, and the referee Jack Reiss permitted him to use illegal tactics such as obviously deliberate head butts.

Ward once again had home country advantage when he fought Froch, who was lethargic that night.

Everyone else in the Super Six had to fight in foreign countries, while Ward had home advantage for every fight.

I swear I thought Froch vs andre dirrell was fought in nottingham, england.
Abraham vs taylor in germany (isnt abraham 1/2 german?)
Andre dirrell vs Abraham in Michigan (dirrell's home state)
and AC is not wards home state. Its not even on the same coast just in case you didn't know.

Marquez is Mexican, Ktfoed Pac. If anything, 300k buys is a letdown. I dont see Ggg Ward selling that much, or even as a viable Ppv. How many did Cotto Martinez sell?

Did you try proving him wrong? Cause you failed miserably, as usual. Really bad attempt though, laughably

[bigjavi973]

And did I notice that Ward has a huge new tattoo on his right forearm? Isn't there something in the bible regarding tattoos being an offence against god or something?

http://bibleresources.org/tattoos/

Not that it makes any difference to me because I have no religious beliefs, but isn't it very hypocritical of all these so called 'god fearing' people to have all those tats on their body? I guess god's son is going through a rebellious phase or something.

Thats the "old testament" stuff... unless you are cool with stoning people to death

(something about the new testament saying "there are new rules" to follow apart from the "old ways" some crap like that)

I can't see RN fronting the money, and letting Golovkin come in as the "A-side." Ward has done too much @ 168, to let that happen. I also don't think Ward is out of options. At 168: Degale, Badou Jack, Groves, Gilberto Ramirez. At 175: Beterbiev, Fonfara, Stevenson, and Kovalev. What are GGG's options at 160, without Roc Nation or Haymon?

So Ward is the only one that fought at "home" for "all his fights"???

AC is in the wrong coast you know.

If you are fighting in your own country then it is your home imo.

Ward was the only fighter who didnt have to leave his own country, Im not saying that he wouldnt of won if he did have to fight on foreign soil though.
