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

[LouIE G]

lol so you admit ward will cheat to win. and you are bragging about this? this is why ward has to fight at home with corrupt refs. he relies on cheating to win figthts. he's garbage and can't even fight fair.

Tie-ing up a fighter is part of the game, and is Allowed, unless is excessive like Ruiz type stuff...

[BOMB ZQUAD]

Ward will break him down, tie him up, and stop him!

I can see this, I am favoring Ward over GGG.. but his diva ways really disgusts me. Demanding for so much when he's so unheard of, he can barely sell jack ****. 4 pound difference shouldn't hurt you Ward.. you're already quite a bit bigger.

Lmao sometimes I feel like Ward is just holding off as long as he can to avoid Kovalev

[imperial1]

Being generous... so him being inactive for years and fighting no one of note for that long deserves the full control? So what, Golovkin is champ at 160, meet halfway. Ward can barely sell ****.

Do me a favor and tell me when Golovkin said that, "160-168" . It's been a long time since then... What happened to Ward wanting to move up to Heavyweight and he's still stuck at that deserted division, when he was fighting at light heavyweight last fight.. truly pathetic

Also meet GGG halfway what at 164 ? But it's Ok to challenge Julio " won't do nothing for my legacy " Chavez jr at 168 right ? Or better yet Froch at 168 right ?

He fought at lhw after his layoff .. Unless he has me it clear that he is staying at lhw for now he will campaign at 168 ..GGG needs Watd more than Ward needs him .. Ward is battle tested the same. Ant be said for GGG. So again who is he to dictate to anyone ??

I think regardless of what Ward haters like to say about his drawing power or whatever, fact of the Matter is Ward is a household name, the super 6 did very good ratings and as the winner of the tournament it solidifies him as a Marquee name...

GGG is very popular as well but has lacked the oppenents to Launch him into superstardom imo... Little G's future as a star is banking on the results from this PPV imo... But cmon, i've said it b4 GGG vs Ward is a PPV fight, and if Canelo/Cotto winner doesnt come to the table for a little G fight, Ward is the only Viable PPV option imo.

how is that a fact? he just fought on bet and only 300k saw him. doesn't sound like a household name to me. are you still trapped in the past? lots of fighters were popular in the past and are no longer popular.

so if ggg doesn't do a lot of ppv buys he's a failure yet when ward doesn't get any viewers on free tv he's still a marquee name? makes no sense.

[LouIE G]

If Ggg Ward is a Ppv, its cause Ggg has established himself as a Ppv star. Ward is far from being able to carry a Ppv, he can barely get any eyeballs on basic cable

We'll just have to see what his ppv numbers are..

Obviously it's never going to happen, but Ward's best financial fight would actually be against James DeGale @ Wembley.

Ward will break him down, tie him up, and stop him!

He'll definitely tie him up, but stop, doubtful. He took 9 rounds to stop a fat and inept Smith, who got blown out be prospects. Before that last stoppage of healthy opponent was Shelby Pudwill 6 years ago. Failed to stop or even drop fodder like Miranda and Allan Green.

lol so you are allowed to cheat as long as you don't cheat that much? read the rules. it's clearly illegal. just because you have been conditioned as a boxing fan to accept it doesn't mean it's actually legal.

LMAO, GGG has Lemieux and then Cotto/Canelo Winner... GGG doesn't need Ward for ****. Ward needs GGG to catch some eyes

Notice that link is 2012 mate.. it's 2 thousand fcking 15.

I dont think Ward is an unpopular fighter, if people know who he is... He's just disliked by GGG and Kovalev Fans thats all....

he just did 300k viewers on free tv. some fans are clearly delusional and don't try that fantasy bullcrap of well if ward was on hbo he would do more...yes that's true but ward's unwillingness to fight good opponents is his own fault and the reason he's not on hbo.
