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

[mathed]

He called out Mayweather at 154 lbs, a weight class where Mayweather was/is a champion at. Did Ward call GGG at 160 lbs? no, ok, thanks.

Don't bother arguing, he won't bother entertaining why Ward himself said he would drop to 160 to fight Floyd but flat out turned down GGG at 164. We all know it's because he wouldn't have enough of a functional weight advantage over GGG that he would have had over Floyd but Ward is the surrogate Mayweather in the eyes of many on here so it gets swept under the rug like Floyd's shady IV.

those are good points

Not really.

The Mayweather thing is absurd. It was silly twitter beef over Guerrero.

Ward is on record stating that.....

1) the twitter banter wasn't serious
2) he has never pursued a fight with Mayweather
3) a potential Mayweather fight is absurd, and will never happen
4) he cannot make 160.

Here is the proof.....



The fact that those guys are 3 divisions apart makes it a silly discussion.

Excuse #14
GGG will not fight Ward, because he wants Ward to make more money ?

Because of the things that Ward has said, and because he has made Team Golovkin look ******..... Golovkin should want to spank Ward and take his shoes.

Ive said he will fight CoWard, but you somehow misread it since it fits your agenda. Ward said I will not fight GGG now but in 2016. GGG said i will not fight Ward now but in 2017. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

HBO not picking up GGGs IBF defense lol. You're delusional. Quick, throw up some bull**** numbers and "projections".

Golovkin-Johnson or Golovkin-O'Kane are both junk 40:1 fights; if you believe that HBO is willing to shell out top dollar for that, so be it. Golovkin may be "special"; for a network so bent on not spending money on boxing, paying out money for that fight, in addition to a likely Golovkin-Heiland fight for the WBC belt, and then digging even further into their pocket to outbid Haymon for the Lee/Saunders winner is a lot to digest, tbh.

mock the numbers however you want

Ggg just delivers. Him vs Monroe did great numbers on TV and the gate, and you don't think they'd show him vs Johnson off a ppv? Like I said, clueless on boxing, clueless with numbers etc
