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

[i'm a fun haver]

Mosley-Mayorga II was on PPV a couple weeks ago. They stars too I guess. I think that one was at like 166. Guess PPV Mosley on Superstar G's radar now too.

Mosley and Mayorga might fight again before Andre Ward does.
The man simply does not want to fight. He needs to get these tune ups out of the way so he can start fighting good opponents.

we're making progress and sadly they aren't related, mayweather berto generated 91k search engine headlines with only 300k ppv and less than 50mill revenue, mayweather canelo generated 38k in search engine headlines, you can say around 32k since its been a while, and generated 2.25 million ppv and around 180 million in revenue.....theyre not closely related, talking about the fight gets people interested in the matchup, the numbers in terms of ratings and $$ determines the popularity of the matchup to the consumer...... thats why i used the search engine stats to show how many ppl were serious about the fight NOT the popularity of the fight, if i wanted to show a fighters popularity id stick what money he can generate, this is why ppl consider ggg vs the canelo/cotto winner bigger than the ggg vs ward fight, because of the $$ to be made.

OK so again what's your point? Ggg is popular, Floyd is super popular so of course there's more interest in that than Ward among the casuals. Not rocket science. But hardly anyone here took it serious, cause Floyd demonstrated he's not a legit SWW champ

Soooooo, when is GGG gonna start fighting good opponents. Ward's had 2-3yrs of a combination of no and ****ty opponents. GGG has a decade of ****ty opponents. Loox like they have a similar problem. Match em up.

Oh OK. Now it has to be HBO PPV. I didn't realize there was a difference. I mean, SHO PPV has been responsible for all the big time PPV events here recently. Although they did let HBO piggyback on that lil'n this past May. Guess Lil G still in the minors.

Was Mosley Mayorga Sho ppv? Didn't think so, it was like one of those Latin Fury ppvs they put together when no network will buy it. You're so dumb

Don't even play me like that bro. I'm a bigger GGG fan than you. Ive spent money to see him perform in person. I have the authority to criticize him because my money is at stake. I'm part of the reason for his rise in stardom.

I want GGG vs Ward as a boxing fan. Msy the best fighter wun.

Don't talk out your ****in ass.....boxing fan yeah right lol.....it's a lightheavyweight against middleweight.....ward has had 2 fights in nearly 4 years.....each against mediocre challengers.....don't hold a belt...unable to make 168...boxing is about an even playing field......weight vs weight......best in each division face off......golovkin has the right to prove he is the man at middleweight and he is about to prove 50 percent of it next week..the other 50 will come when canelo or cotto are forced to face him next year...let ward prove he is the best at his weight and he has plenty of challengers in the pot....kovalev ,beterbiev and Stevenson will bring him good exposure

that boxing fans want ggg vs ward for the sake of the best vs the best, thats why i would like to see the fight. not because of the $$ generated or the tv ratings, but because its two undefeated olympic medalist who are world champions and top 5 p4p fighters, boxing hardly gets these fights and its one of the more intriguing fights due to the contrasting stylistic matchup.

the only reason why i showed the contrast between search articles and ratings/ppv is because someone stated the fight between ggg vs mayweather wasn't being taken seriously despite generating more headlines than any other ggg matchup and less headlines than mayweather berto which was a horrible fight. if you hadn't tried to relate popularity to search engines, and stuck to ratings, i wouldnt have had to do this, but then again, bringing up numbers for the sake of boxing instead of wanting two undefeated olympic medalist who are world champions and top 5 p4p fighters to fight is somehow what ppl are saying why the fight shouldnt happen.

Ward had the luxury of being in a tournament. That's the only reason he has those names on his resume.
Without the S6 it would be Miranda, Bika, Dawson(at 168 lol) E-Rod.
Maybe a rematch with Shelby Pudwill lol

Go ahead and say Miranda n Bika are better than anyone on GGG's resume, "MUH RESEME DOE!" blah blah blah.

Look at Bute's fights with Miranda and Bika then watch Andre Ward's fights vs Miranda and Bika.
It's clear why Ward wanted no part of Bute, despite saying that he would fight Bute and clean out the division.
Lucian ****ing Bute lol
"MUH 2 or 3 YEARS AGO!" lol

OK fine, I'd love to see the fight as well. But Gggs fortunes have turned and he's finally doing great business at his weight and has opportunities to unify and finally become The Champ at MW. So lets see Ward Kovalev asap, screw the tuneups. They're closer in weight, neither guy has anything going, and most importantly, its perceived as the much more competitive fight, which boxing fans like

How did Ward become great? By beating Froch in NJ? GGG offered to face Froch at 168 in the UK. Too bad Froch didn't want it, cause it would have been better than Wards career best win

Lol, Golovkin fans.... simply offering to fight a retired Froch is as good as beating a prime Cobra? Delusional. The article is correct, Golovkin has ONLY fought journeyman whereas Andre has put a clinic on numerous noteworthy fighters in their prime. THAT'S how he became so great. Golovkin hasn't even beat a Bika-level opponent.

[Chuckguy]

I'm not reading all these comments. Facts are facts.

Gullible Gennady Groupies will defend their bottom bitc*. But fact of the matter is....Ward is the best fighter in the world and GGG would lose. Everybody knows this and that's why team GGG went out of their way to avoid the p4p king.

Posters like you have no real input because you are blinded by your bias.
