Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: We'd Fight Ward at 164, 50-50 Split

[Hype job]

Ward is bigger than froch

Ggg's team admitting they need to drain ward to have a chance of winning

He won't be drained and you know it.

lol moving up in weight makes you at a disadvantage only for ward though Chavez jr and froch at 168 it's no disadvantage there I don't think you guys think before you you start typing

Don't kid yourself, Chavez & Froch bring alot more money to the table and that matters. At the same time, Golovkin would have a speed advantage vs Froch & Chavez. With Ward he's giving up both size & speed - WTF shouldn't he ask for either more money or lower weight, especially since he's the one with a bigger name now.

Look at all these crybabies, why doesn't Ward move down for GGG? Why must GGG move up?

Face it you all just want to see him lose because of his skin tone.

164 is completely fair i've been saying this as long as this fiasco has been going on.

Why must GGG move up for Ward and not vice versa?

Because it's easier to move up in weight than down. GGG doesn't have to move up but remember he said no CWs and that if Canelo wanted to fight at a catch weigh it had to be at the full 160

Froch is about to retire is slow and face first they know they can unload their power on him all night long , Ward is totally different and they know what we all know that Ward is a nightmare for GGG , the talk him up while he is knocking out nobodys but a real challenge they want special conditions , Manny and Floyd moved up over 5 divisions and this guy cant move up one , I like GGG but there is something plastic about him .

He's proposing a 50 split which is fair at 168 but not at a catchweight

Ward said he'd do 160 for Floyd, is he a ***** for not doing 160 for GGG? You guys have such a hard-on for GGG you don't know how ****** you sound.

Lol bring up something from over 2 years ago when ward was semi active and ward and Floyd was both dissing eachother to try and make a argument ward just had his first fight in 19 months last mint triple and his team has stated numerous times he can beat anyone from 154-168 is willing to fight froch and Chavez jr at 168 but ward has to come down do you hear how ****** some of you guys sound

Hopkins wasn't a big mw

He moved up 2 weights to fight tarver

I don't really see the problem with the catchweight demand if it's true. From GGG's point of view, he's more known than Ward and draws better so GGG would be the A side. Yet it would still probably be a 50/50 split, so why should GGG have to concede to all of Wards demands? It's not like fighting Ward is a big payday for GGG. If Ward doesn't want to fight at 164 then I won't blame him for it either. Just the nature of the business at this point.

How is a 50 split fair? Golovkin's the bigger name, he's the one giving up the size. Ward just lost his promoter $2mill on his last fight.

This is an opening negotiation tacit, if Ward doesn't budge on the money the fight doesn't happen at 168.
