Frankly, that's the beauty of a negotiation; RocNation didn't know about K2's plans for Golovkin and K2 and K2 didn't know about RocNation's plans for Andrew Ward. Value the two fighters based on what you're willing to disclose and propose a split.
David Lemieux isn't going to introduce Golovkin to an entirely new fanbase who'd never heard of him; to act as if K2 couldn't come up with a value to negotiate a next fight from (Golovkin has a fight, Ward has a fight, and then they fight next on PPV) would literally assume that K2 are the dumbest promoters going.
Just as an example, not even ten days into October, Eddie Hearn (Matchroom Sport) has his boxing schedule for the rest of the year already penciled in [fights will get added/subtracted as they get finalized, and injuries will cause things to change as well].
Loeffler can only plan things out one fight at a time? lol

Do you earnestly believe that Andre Ward couldn't have gotten off 5 pounds in three weeks if he had to? lol
And, with Ward already being in camp less than four months from his last fight, the weight is even less of an issue.

You know K2 isn't in the business of doing favors for Andre Ward, right?
They are in the business of getting the most money for their client(in this case GGG)
The whole world owes Andre Ward because of what he did 4 years ago in a tournament lol
Also, Ward is fighting Kovalev now? lol
Ward isn't even confirmed to be fighting his next tune up on the Cotto Canelo undercard.

Team Golovkin ran their mouth about "fighting anyone 154-168", were ready to fight Chavez Jr @168, and were ready to fight Froch @168 (would've probably fought Arthur Abraham @168 if it were offered, tbh).
Ward is simply holding Golovkin to what he's said.
