Comments Thread For: Team GGG: Ward Not The A-Side, Can't Dictate Terms

You act like New Jersey and California are the same. America has few "national" fighters.

How is it actually different?

Are you suggesting that flying from Cali to jersey , is the same as coming from another continent? I'm assuming you've never left your city, let alone North America.

I am disgusted by the cowardly actions of Gennady Golovkin. He has went from up-and-coming star to cowardly b*tch in the matter of months.

Young boxers should look at him as a cautionary tale. You have to fight the best if you want to be taken seriously by real boxing fans. Golovkin has become the butt of every joke. It's a sad downfall.

Enjoy that Ward Periban undercard pal. Should be every bit the barnburner that Paul Smith was.

If the weight is 168, I see Team SOG being workable with a 35/65 split, tbh (HBO backing Golovkin, regardless of whom he fights, while not giving Ward that same treatment, shows where they stand with their money).

With Ward able to comfortably do daytime TV, shoot the **** across the ESPN programs, and comfortably handle big city radio (SF/Bay Area and LA markets if the fight is out West; New York radio if the fight is in NYC), Ward-Golovkin has a far firmer claim to being worth PPV than Golovkin-Lemieux, tbh.

Except Ward has a style that casuals dislike. That's pretty big. His money demands are also bigger, and he doesnt bring an extra source of revenue like Lemieux with his Canada PPV. As usual, real bad points, but not as bad as you claiming his future undercard appearance puts him on par with GGG as a draw lol

Well, this got out hand quickly

[-MEGA-]

This whole "a side " "b side" thing has gotten way outta hand. Able is ****ing delusional. How are you gonna claim the "a side" against ward knowing damn well that if you fight Canelo or Cotto, your the "b side"? Can't just claim that crap whenever it's convenient. When your the "a side" your the "a side", that's it.

Thats not how it works at all lol. Pac is A side vs everyone except Floyd. Marquez is A side vs Alvarado, Bradley etc, B-side vs Pac. Canelo is A side vs Lara, Angulo, Kirkland, B side vs Cotto, Floyd. Brook is A-side vs Jojo Dan, Frankie Gavin, B-side to Pac, Floyd. Should I go on?

Comparing the numbers for an entire night of fights to the isolated numbers for a single fight, lol.

gtfoh

Ward gets outsold by a guy from 3,000 miles away in an arena 400 miles from his house. Ward is schit, b-rated and overhyped.

Well isn't that obvious...and wasn't that my point? Read between the lines young bruh. When your the "a side" it's quite clear. There is no clear cut "a side" between these two. Ward is the better more accomplished boxer and GGG is the more popular fighter. That's the thought of the masses until it gets settled in the ring.

The **** able is talking is just nonsense and he just needs to not speak on Ward when asked. Or he should just say "we're not willing to take the risk of possibly taking an L before a big payday". Because that's what it is, make no mistake


Lol

Sanchez needs to STFU, agreed. But there's no question GGG is A-side to Ward, and it's only gonna get wider. Chavez was less accomplished, and he would have gotten a huge percentage vs Ward. A side is not about resume.

He's obviously not though. Not how able and them are trying to make it. When/if the fight happens it'll be at 168 not 164. The money split is a whole different thing based on popularity, I get that. But the demands of a catchwieght is laughable and down right embarrassing for the whole GGG team.
