Comments Thread For: Roc Nation: GGG's Team Turned Down Ward in 36 Minutes

[-PBP-]

If it's a no win fight, why disparage him for not taking it like you've been trying to do? New era shortly begin lol. You mean after the 3 tuneups?

Dude this Ward bully act you're cheering on is just pathetic: sending bogus offers to unproven guys 1.5 divisions down, threatening lawsuits, schoolyard stuff like "36 minutes, "Lil G" (from Ward's lawyer lol, what a team of clowns), demanding 2m for utter bums, demanding PPV upside for an undercard, turning down fringe contenders HBO proposes...

Do you have an ability to discuss boxing without degrading the rival of your favorite fighters accomplishments?

That's what I mean. You guys are in fear of this fight happening and want to create an illusion that Ward is a bum nobody that doesn't exist.

Nothing wrong with jokes. I always speak highly of both of their abilities and backed them in their situations with Stevenson and Quillin. Back then all of your gullible groupies were kissing my ass.

It would be different if they and Team Golovkin just said, "We are waiting to see if Golovkin can fight the Cotto/Alvarez winner. Until then Ward is not an option." No one besides some obsessed haters would have a problem with that because it's smart.

But nope, Golovkin's fans and management are trying desperately to paint Ward both as an unfair monstrously sized light heavyweight who is unfair to expect Golovkin to fight and a nobody bum with a weak chin who does absolutely nothing for Golovkin's career. It's pure fear. You don't talk a fighter like Ward down and make this many excuses unless you're scared of what happens if he fought Golovkin.

I keep saying it, Golovkin's fans seem to have zero confidence in him. I can't remember who it was yesterday that said this is just the same fans who saw Pacquiao lose to Mayweather and Matthysse lose to Garcia and don't want to see another "exciting" fighter they get off over lose like that.

Oh right, the "gullible groupies" thing. Even when you're trying to stake some high ground comically after all these comedowns, you just can't help yourself.

They did, then came "Lil G", "36 minutes" etc. Can you finally answer:

Show me one fighter in boxing that went up in weight to fight a division+ bigger p4p #2, who's the distant B side yet wants purse parity. How about when you got your first unification lined up on HBO PPV, and a megafight for 3 belts + lineal in the pipeline? Any examples there?

I can't relate to that. That's probably why I'm so baffled.

I was pissed when Rigondeaux didn't move up to fight Lomachenko. I even wanted Floyd to move up and fight Lara just to shut people up. I also hate that Ward made Dawson come down giving up the chance to be lineal champion in 2 weight classes.

I guess I grew up in the De La Hoya/May/Pac/Roy era so I expect fighters to move up and push their limits. This new breed of micromanaging fighters careers and careful matchmaking is something I have to get used to.

They did. Aren't you reading news articles? 66 rep power and you act like you're new here?

except they're not, they're sending out mixed messages, one minute they want more than 50% of the purse bid, the next minute he's not relevant.

To me its sounds like they're stringing Ward along in case the fight between Cotto/Canelo winner doesn't happen.

But you can relate to a p4p #1 (IYO) needing 3 tuneups to go up 3lbs to give us a fight you and most posters deem much more competitive than Ward vs GGG. It's called cognitive dissonance
