Ward on Canelo/Cotto undercard?

[Mitchell Kane]

Desperate move by Roc Nation and a correct one because no one knows who Ward is. He needs to build his name up and earn an opportunity against Golovkin. Gennady is now a PPV star and Ward is pretty much a nobody. He needs to earn recognition and be able to sell. Right now the fight can't be made because he hasnt proven himself.

Can't really call him a "PPV star" until seeing how many buys it does.

It's going to be against someone that has no chance to make Ward look good. Then they will cry more about GGG ducking him(even if they don't fight in the same division).

I got confused by this sentence

[Eastcoast]

So you're admitting that Ward wants no part of Kovalev? Same thing. Personally if they want to stay in their division, it's their right.

Ward hasn't always looked good. A lot of his fights were snoozers. If he does in fact fight on the undercard, he better attack because he could bring in some new fans.

This.

Just because it's a big event doesn't mean it'll get his momentum back. If he stinks it out in front of millions of people, that'll be irreparable damage. TR tried this same approach to build Rigondeaux and it didn't work because he had too many fights that turned fans off.

How did even come close to admitting that? Both teams are already in discussion for a fight next year. Golovkin doesn't ward ward that's plain as day

I get it, you don't want the black boxer to look bad. Next year? Many things can happen from today to next year.

How about those P.M's, jreck.

Many latinos are going to be watching this fight. It benefits Ward to win over some of those fans.

Damn Roc Nation Would be paying out of there pocket for that, because no way canelo or cotto are going to give it up out if there purse.

There would be oodles of money if that was a co feature. That's not the issue. The issue would be wards ego or lack thereof. That would be epic if it happened. I would have to go to that fight(s).

[Don Pichardo]

damn fighting on an obscure channel for boxing to now fighting on undercards.I know its canelo vs cotto but still ward is supposed to be a headliner. ward is falling fast.

Sounds like an excellent way to bounce him back from the long career stalling layoff. Wards exposure would be profound. Great strategy on RocNations part.

NABF Light Heavyweight Title
