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

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

how many times have the race card been pulled yet?

[aboutfkntime]

Just to put your bashing of Wards resume' into context.....

Before you write-off Dawson, consider this..... Dawson is nowhere near Wards best win, but he is miles better than anyone Golovkin has beaten.

Surely you can see that ?

Golovkin is desperate for credibility..... but as you can see from the quotes in my post above, Ward has credibility in spades.

Ward is proven, Golovkin is not..... lets not forget that.

Golovkin is unproven, desperate for credibility, and Ward is likely the only fighter under 168 that can give it to him..... so why do Team Golovkin keep making excuses?

It doesn't matter, Ward beats Golovkin no matter what color he is.

Lets leave the race thing guys, somebody will drag Kovalev into it soon.

If that's true regarding HBO wanting Ward to fight Gonzo as a prerequisite to signing a 3 fight deal , I find that hilariously bias . HBO is as racist towards Black fighters as it gets when GGG can fight and build his whole career on cans but they demand Ward must fight a viable threat every time . Not to mention how greedy they r undervaluing every fight and devaluing every Black fighter . I remember years ago when HBO gave that flash in a pan Prince Hamed 12 mil for 5 or 6 fights plus a 2 mil advertisement budget , but only wanted to give Floyd the same amount of money for double the amount of fights and no advertisement budget . And people wonder how Haymon got as big and powerful as he is ? I'm sure it wasn't too hard for Haymon once he saw how much HBO was stealing from black fighters and devaluing fights in general ! HBO has a LONG history of racism and double standards towards black fighters .

The last viable threat Ward faced was Ward back in 2011. Why is it that some people love to cry racism to cover up their inadequacies? Ward has had THREE FIGHTS IN FOUR YEARS!!!!! He should consider himself lucky that HBO even answers the phone when his people call. If he is being treated like a lazy prick, maybe it's because he is one.

"We have been talking to Andre Ward's people all week,” she [duva] said. “And I think we all agree the fight is going to happen. It is just a matter of when. The talks have been very amicable. They are deciding who they want to fight next, and we have Sergey's schedule for his next few fights planned. By the end of next year, maybe a little sooner, you’re going to get to see that fight.

“We’re very happy about that because Sergey has made it clear that he wants to fight the very best out there. You’re talking about a fight between two guys who are both in the top five pound-for-pound in the world. The best fighting the best is what people want to see. That’s the kind of fight that gets everybody excited, the kind of fight that gets our blood moving. So we’re really hoping to be able to complete that deal within the foreseeable future.”

Roc Nation is also interested in making the fight eventually.

“We had some very preliminary conversations,” said David Itskowitch, who heads Roc Nation Sports’ boxing division. “We’re interested in that fight at some point. It’s only a matter of when.”



this is from ESPN. mid july of this year.


ducking kovalev doe

kovalev-ward 2016/7. put that on a f#cking bumper sticker.

You are probably the only genuine Andre Ward fan who posts here, so I respect that, but your faith in him is misplaced, imo.

Of course Duva is interested in making Kovalev/Ward, and Iskowitch is desperate for Ward to take a meaningful fight to justify his signing fee and the small fortune Roc spent buying out his contract with Goosen.

But it won't happen unless Andre wants it, and I don't think he does. Check out his reaction when asked about Kovalev in this interview. Notice he refers to people like you, who want him to fight Krusher, as "critics", rather than fans.

Poor Andre, just because he's black, HBO want him to fight a viable threat. If he was white they would have paid him $2million plus for Sartisan, and Truax, and Zac whatsisname, and Paul Smith.

Naseem Hamed isn't white, of course, he's Yemeni Arab, and GGG is half Korean. But they ain't black African, so to you, they're on the other side of the fence.

Ok, now I know where you're coming from, I don't need to waste any more of my time trying to have a rational discussion with you.

Poor Andre , he just doesn't have the complexion for the protection . Its ok though , cause luckily for him (unlike ggg) he don't need it ! And for the record , I don't feel sorry that "they" try and force Ward to fight a viable threat every time , I just recognize the racial bias in it . Meanwhile in LALA land GGG gets sanctioned to fight an indefinite # of cans . Its pretty hard to ignore unless , I guess , your signature name is Ravens Fan , Kafkod or Golovkin

Another buffoon who pretends that racism only exist in fiction storytelling , or only when it's caught with undeniable hard evidence.

HBO wanting Ward to fight Yunieski = racism, hard evidence lolololol. Where do they find these idiots??

Not for guys like Paul Smith he doesn't. He'll need a crash helmet if he gets in the ring with Kovalev though.

Lmao , now that was a good one .
But if that's the case , what will GGG need if he decides to man up and fight Ward ? Nothing cause he won't , he's already resigned to the fallout shelter .

I have only 1 question for u and those like u who become so filled with ire when someone recognizes racial bias in boxing : Please explain why HBO has allowed GGG to fight an abysmal number of cans gleefully , but demands Ward only fight viable threats every time or go elsewhere for viewing ? If u can answer that with a logical non-sarcastic answer that make sound sense then I'll admit I'm wrong and admit I may have prematurely saw race as an issue when it really wasn't .
