Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: Ward Looking Less and Less Likely

[bigjavi973]

Show us a link or some other actual evidence to indicate that ANY NEGOTIATIONS OR ANY CONTACT AT ALL was made between the two camps regarding a fight at 164. I am not talking about bullcrap youtube videos or web interviews. Show me some proof that there was an offer on the table from K2 to Roc Nation regarding a fight at 164 or at any other weight.

If you cannot do this, then simply SFTU about something that NEVER HAPPENED.

I'm going by what lil g's team has stated.

Media people can't stop asking about Ward. Yet they won't ask Ward if he really wants the fight. They just assume he wants it.

Truth is, the media people can influence the making of fights.

1. Ask Ward directly.
2. Interrogate him what he's been doing to make the fight happen.
3. Verify his sources, the people he talked to, etc.
4.
5.

etc., etc.,

They just keep asking the same questions over and over again as if they'll get a different answer each time.

look the media members are not dumb its a big fight for both..one man is trending with something to protect and is not the favorite in the fight..the other man is established yet stagnant...of course ward wants it it is the best money for him, but the media also see the color they want to see at the top so dont expect them to push for anything..dont believe me? look at steve kim, dan raf, and doug fischer's house money ass.

either way ward should go to 175..enough of this cat and mouse..i dont want to see fans picking sides again for 3-5 years...

So are ya for catchweights or against catchweights?

Catchweights are ok when trying to negotiate a none title fight between 2 men in different divisions, like GGG and Ward.

They are not ok and should not be allowed in world title fights.

Andre Bored the Gutless Turd pricing himself out of a beating by GGG. Smart move but lets call a Spade a Spade here...Andre is running scared trying to go with the Fraud Pedcheater Jr business model. Keep the 0, bore the crap out of everyone, hire lawyers to gag order all failed steroid test reports.

So scared he's gonna fight.... Kovalev.

[tiliheels]

I'm going by what lil g's team has stated.

it was no contract the last thing ggg's side would do is send something that ward could call their bluff on...ward is never getting anything but "no thank you" notes from them...tom said this to rafael, but he is a promoter he likely meant it

[Progrssive_Jedi]

I'm beginning to think Ward fans read as well as Floyd

Seriously, they've said over and over they offered Ward fights. Even Ward contract was for fall of 2016.

All you are desperate. Your boy is scared to fight anyone good.

In other words : We have serious indicators that our excuses seem to really be wearing Wards azz out .

Wards azz is wore out all right. He's been getting it all week.

i love how they pretend ward ggg is not a mega fight give me a break on that one. regardless of wards ratings if ggg and ward fought espn would talk about it the whole 9 yards it would be such a big fight. dont worry tho loughler ward has balls and is going to 175 to fight kovalev

Yea, because Ward sells so much. Even in Cali he could sell out. Turd.

Yeah this sounds like more BS excuses... If Wards offer was late, why didn't they accept, pending GGG beating Lemieux. Then the ball would be back in Wards court. Ward been sittin on his azz for the past few years I'm sure he wouldn't mind waiting a little longer

Ward's offer was for next fall (2016 in case you can't read well).

What more is there to say. Use logic man.

Translation: thank you lord ward has the balls to step up and move up in weight to fight Krusher something we don't want to do and keep the story of unifying the weakest division in boxing like that's a huge accomplishment

First, Ward hasn't agreed. HBO is pressuring him, he is not doing it willingly.

There is more glory and much more money in unifying the middleweight division than fighting Ward.

I hope you will judge your boy Cotto by the same standards you apply to Golovkin, when the time comes.

Sure is. And no, they'll twist and turn. They want him out for Cotto/Canelo.

If Ward is moving up to fight Kovalev, why would he have sent an offer to fight Golovkin next fall?

Because he'd rather face smaller MW. To Ward fans, that's beast.

you DO know Cotto is in his 4th weight division yes?

and Cotto has given up money for glory.

gave up a payday vs canelo to get the martinez fight no?

Cotto is MW lineal champion, been Ducking GGG for awhile now.

Hey nuthugger maybe because it makes sense to have Golovkin fight first at 168 then move up to 175 to fight Krusher then it is to fight Krusher first and then drop back down for little g damn y'all protect this dude like if he challenges himself and loses wall street going crash

But that's exactly what you all want GGG to do. Double standard.

I mean, it's just ridiculous. He was what, 170 something like 30 days out from the fight. "oh he can't make 168 no more".

Try again. Ward walks around at 180

ward is moving on to big and better things stop talking about him the fight is never going to happen GGG and his people don't want it. let GGG sit at the kids table eating happy meals him and his fans seem to be happy with that.

Read again, they got sick of waiting, and Ward finally tried after GGG moved on.

Enough said.

Because Froch and Chavez Jr had many fans back then. They were fighting for 6 figure purses and GGG was still fighting for $300k.

You don't ask for catchweights when you the B side, chasing fights with A side "names" like Froch and Chavez.

^^^ Who's with idiot? 300K is 6 figures.

[brettWall]

look the media members are not dumb its a big fight for both..one man is trending with something to protect and is not the favorite in the fight..the other man is established yet stagnant...of course ward wants it it is the best money for him, but the media also see the color they want to see at the top so dont expect them to push for anything..dont believe me? look at steve kim, dan raf, and doug fischer's house money ass.

If you were Ward, ask yourself what you would do to make the fight happen? (Assuming you really want it.) You won't see that in Ward doe. Accept it.

Always remember this. No one can stop a guy with stature like Ward from fighting anyone he wants to. No one.

[ThatDude44]

and Ward fans want GGG to go up and fight Ward first, then come down in weight to fight Cotto/Canelo.

Hmmm, which is a more equitable situation:

Ward going up 3 (172 to 175) and then down 7 (175 to 168)

GGG going up 8 (160 to 168) then down 11 (168 to 157) for Cotto-Canelo

Ward stans are full of it.......

GGG was willing to do it for freaking Chavez Jr. Question, would you rather see GGG-Chavez or GGG-Ward?

[kafkod]

george groves only got 500k for the first froch fight...carl go paid well...does that not prove to u that ggg who was the begger for the fight wasnt going to get this big 3 million dollar pay day that u all think he would..he wasnt a bigger star thatn groves at the time..im just hear telling facts and u get pissed for wat? im hear advocating the best fights and u as a boxing fan get pissed for wat??

Clearly, GGG would have been hoping to get more than 500k for coming to the UK for Froch, but not $3million. You have to remember, he hadn't yet hit the $1million mark at that point in his career.
