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

[SlySlickSmooth]

The article says they sent an offer prior to knowing about Lemieux and said they would have one fight before fighting each other and justifies it saying the Lemieux fight could still go on and the next fight is Andre Ward in 2016.

However Golovkin's team main goal has always been unifying the titles and he has the WBC's word that the next WBC Middleweight title fight is a defense against Golovkin.

People will just say "Cotto/Canelo won't fight GGG so GGG should just fight Ward"

[IMDAZED]

You're a Floyd stan. GGG is making a smart business decision. You know how that works right?

If Ward would of been a superstar, this fight would of already happened long time ago.

Ahh so it wasn't what you said before. Glad you realized that.

Why are you bringing up Floyd? The guy who moved up to 135 and fought the best there in his first fight? Was that business? Keep it real.

it was already proven that ward was lying his ass off and ggg already had a figth set. roc nation defending a liar? very sad. roc nation ward has always fought the best? hmmm check the last 4 years roc nation! paul smith, zac dunn, truax, sartison i don't think so! you guys got a dud!

Check the last four years of Golovkin's fights and that will tell you everything you need to know about Golovkin.

ward fans don't know history obviously. they keep pretending that ward has tried to fight good opponents the last 4 years when the opposite is true

If y'all knew history you would know that mw in amateurs and Olympics is actually smw

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

ggg is running like a little ***** from ward step up stop fighting bums and face the best guy in your division that you are hiding from

[Larry the boss]

It is clear as day GGG's team wants nothing to do with Ward period..so lets move on...fighters should look up not down

[turnedup]

Here we go the business people throwing jabs back and forth so they don't seem like one dropped the ball. Fight ain't happening Ward is fighting at 175 next, Golovkin has Lemieux in front of him. NEXT!

[Larry the boss]

Why is team Ward still looking to bully a guy who is 2 divisions below him, when he should be facing the number one guy in his division?

Same reason GGG kept calling out Mayweather i guess

[big_james10]

it took them 36 minutes to remember who ward was

And then Loeffler said, "oh s...t!" and immediately turned down the fight. He then contacted Golden Boy to try to secure a fight against a guy who has already been KO'd by someone that Golovkin KO'd and immediately began to cover his ass.

A) Let's just see this email already. Lemeiux/Golovkin was in the works the Monday after Ward/Smith took place and facing the winner of Alvarez/Cotto in 2016 has been the #1 priority before that even. Team Golovkin's not committing to another fight until they know they aren't getting that one next year.

B) Let's see what Ward really does in his next step. Yorkman blabbers about Ward only fighting the best when he just fought an unranked contender in Paul Smith. We're 6 weeks out from the Alvarez/Cotto card, if he does fight he's giving his opponent short notice.

C) It took Yorkman 2 weeks to respond - nice job fella.
