Comments Thread For: Team Golovkin Will Want More Than 50% From Ward

[Nay_Sayer]

haha its kinda funny. where does ward get off thinking he can dictate the terms? he hasn't done **** since the super 6, which was when 2012/11? that said I think GGG's ppv does about 300k which is still 300k more than andre ward has sold. hell its the same amount of views for his last fight

What has Bumlovkin done since 2011?

Money matters to the fighters and it matters to their promoters. It's always a big factor in deciding who fights who.

You can't discuss pro boxing without taking money into consideration.

No, but if that is how a fighter chooses his opponents..... then you should take his resume at face value, and stop making excuses for it.

So, there is not " avoided killer " here, Golovkins resume is what it is.

Golovkin has the exact resume that he wanted, according to you.

I prefer real fighters who will take on a challenge.

Fair. GGG headlining a PPV and has better TV ratings. Ward is an undercard PPV fighter who has terrible ratings last fight and hasn't fought in HBO for like 2 years so he's untested.

u're point is moot hbo does not carry the burden if ppv tanks..the promoter does...hbo isnt paying anyone but he cable company this go around and then GGG and others will get theirs

The promoter is GGG's people duh, why would they risk it tanking? Doesn't make sense long or short term, but you're in the business of not making sense, it seems

If they agree to a catchweight. How are you having this hard of a time understanding? He's saying there is absolutely no problem on a catchweight if both sides agree, NOT if it goes to a purse bid.

Yes getting sued, like they have multiple times before in the past and in several cases lost. Very recently they had a legal case with Rubio, which he ultimately won and is why he was elevated back to mandatory which is why Golovkin fought him. They nearly went bankrupt involving Roy Jones.

Roy Jones said he was leaving the division and drop his title, so they had Graciano Rocchigiani fight Nunn for the #1 spot, Graciano Rocchigiani won. Roy Jones had a change of heart and decided he wasn't going to leave the division, so the WBC RE-WROTE THEIR RULES and made Jones #1 again. Rocchigiani sued the WBC and won $30,000,000, which almost destroyed the WBC who filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy the following day. They only exist to this day because they were able to settle with Rocchigiani outside of court for about $15-$20 million dollars.

So yes, rewriting their own rules can and has got them in major trouble. It's bizarre to know that you believe they are some untouchable entity given their lengthy history of legal troubles.

Golovkin said the exact same thing.

They flatly refused to give the Cotto/Canelo winner a catchweight.

And this is despite Canelo weighing 155 and Cotto weighing 153.

Golovkin demands a catchweight from Ward - despite being willing to fight Froch/Chavez at 168 - and he justified that demand by stating that he is the A-side..... then he totally refused to give Cotto/Canelo a catchweight, DESPITE them being the A-side.

During negotiation, it seems to be Golovkins way or the highway.

If you accept that, then you MUST accept his resume at face value.

It is impossible to make excuses for Golovkins resume if you accept and condone those ridiculous negotiating methods.

Golovkin really does appear to be a manufactured fighter.

What has Bumlovkin done since 2011?

He's gone from zero to headlining HBO PPV and selling out MSG

lol stop being emotional. .little g should stop picking on midgets. . floyds heaviest weight is 151.. little g would be at least 170 on fight night, stop this nonsense. .you cant say ward is picking on little guys but justify this. .change the topic you're hurting yourself

Fact check: Golovkin has never tried to make a fight with Floyd. He said he would accept it if Floyd offered to fight him at 154, and that's all.

dont try to make me look dumb..u said hbo no tthe promoters..i corrected you and then u say Duh...that is not how Duh works jack

[HeroBando]

No he is not, they flatly refused a catchweight for 153lb Cotto.



Stop protecting your current girlfriend.

1) Ward knows Golovkin was willing to fight Froch/Chavez at 168

2) Ward cannot make 164

3) Golovkin knows that Ward cannot make 164, but he doesn't care

4) HeroBando knows that Ward cannot make 164, but he doesn't care

Who protects Golovkin while you sleep ?

This idiot again. 153?! Cotto never demanded 153, nor should he, for the MW belt, **** for brains.

If Ward can't make 164, then he should stop chasing an unproven MW and go fight someone his size. And not a journeyman, for a change

[aboutfkntime]

Golovkin really does appear to be a manufactured fighter.

And nobody will be able to deny that fact if the Cotto/Canelo winner is stripped because they refuse to fight Golovkin without a catchweight..... meaning that Golovkin will have walked away from a HUGE payday to fight some bum for a vacant title.
