Comments Thread For: Roc Nation: This is Ward's First Step Toward Kovalev

[Shadoww702]

HBO rarely goes to Europe, and never to Monaco. But they started because of GGG and his last Monaco show did their best numbers ever for an afternoon show, trouncing Froch Groves 2 at Wembley

That only works with 2 PPV draws dummy. Not with 1 semi draw, and a guy with no Ppv appeal.

97k PPV buys = Semi Draw ?
So let me get this straight Bozo , according to your PPV rating system it's ,

0-50k= Wood
50-100k= Semi Draw ?

Is that correct , as I don't wanna misquote u ?

Also , the last time I checked , Ward has never been on PPV , and hopefully we've learned from our mistakes of trying to gauge what someone's PPV #'s will be from their regular cable views ?

If not revisit the GGG PPV debacle and try and find out why the metrics were off (even with the apple endorsement)

Why wouldn't fans want him to fight Kovalev? Makes much more sense than fighting Golovkin. The ridiculous part of this whole ordeal is that since his return, Ward would have had 3 ****ing tune up fights. He will have wasted three ****ing fights before facing anyone of note. And yet his fans have the balls to talk GGG's opposition.

3 tune ups in about 18 months.
Martin Murray moved up and had 3 tune ups in 4 months lol

[SteveM]

AND again NAME 5 boxers that GGG fought as a pro who were better??? We gonna know here REAL quick if you're legit??? And know your sht???

Or you're a

" I make over $60 an hour working at HOME on my Laptop" "You to could make this much money also just go to BS.com"

I think you've lost it mate - what are you crapping on about $60 an hour adverts - jeez!!

Why 5 boxers? What are you ? Some soap box judge and jury? Lemieux - champion - Geale ex champion - Murray cheated out of being champion - ALL OF THEM TKO'D

just give it over - other ardent Ward fans on here have already stated that they know Brand is a crap opponent - why are you trying to sing a different tune?

I'm honestly having a hard time understanding how fighting a 168 lb fighter at 175 is going to help ward prepare for kovalev. It's like getting ready to drive in NASCAR,by practicing on the bumper cars at the fair.

....Ward can fight; everyone with any type of objectivity would know and understand this point.

Beyond that, everything else that Ward is going to do over the year, piece by piece, is geared to make sure that he's physically comfortable at the weight. Unless there's been a massive change over the last 4 months, Andre Ward, physically, is still a super middleweight fighter (was 173 with three weeks to go to the Paul Smith fight).

Paul Smith was a big super middleweight, Rohan Murdock seemed to have been a big super middleweight (can't really recall how big Alexander Brand was but, looking at the names that were in consideration, RocNation was looking for a big 168/small 175 for the fight), and whomever is being considered for that early Spring 2016 fight will likely be a bit bigger than the guys in the mix for this November fight.

Everything is being done to gradually prepare Ward, physically, to fight Sergey Kovalev, who is likely to walk into the ring for their fight at 190lbs.

slow and steady; not much of a NASCAR fan, but I'd imagine that, if the plan was to take a truck driver and move them over to stock cars, said racing team would work to bride things over, rather than just make the immediate switch.

Official number is 150, which is alright for your first Ppv vs opponent with little US TV exposure. For comparison Cottos first Ppv vs undefeated Paulie from Bk did 60k. Hopkins Dawson 40k. But if he's zero Ppv draw like you insist, then it makes your point even dumber, idiot.

You are such a biased moron. Let me guess, since Ward is facing Brand first, Kovalev won't count in 2016.

Boxing fans like you are so basic. By the end of 2016, Ward will have 5 victories greater than Golovkin's best win. But you'll still come on here pouting about Ward.

Sit your ass down fanboy.

Yeah I'm sure that was your attitude to Floyd insisting that Canelo came down to a catchweight.

Canelo opened his mouth, showed extreme thirstiness, and Floyd made sure to take advantage of that at the negotiating table. Same reason why Miguel Cotto was able to have Alvarez by the balls in the negotiations for their fight; everyone knew that Golden Boy put their entire future on Canelo stepping in with one of the sport's other stars and launching himself, so Team Cotto made sure that they made them pay the full markup for the opportunity.

If Canelo had kept the thirst down, instead standing on his own laurels (massive star in Mexico, undergirding star for the bulk of Mayweather's recent PPVs, drawing a massive crowd/sizable TV rating when he stepped out on his own show, dual titlist at 154, etc), the catchweight wouldn't have even gotten into the negotiations.
