Roc Nation needs to give this whole boxing thing up.

How many ppv is the fight going to lose because ward pulled out? I'm guessing 97k

If anything it's gaining viewers after this boring diva leaves and brings the card back up to good top to down action.

Great move for the PPV!

Steve Kim be hating...

HBO: "Um Andre we need you to sign off on this part of the contract where you're legally obligated to fight Kovalev before we agree to pay for any of these other fights".

Ward: "Nah, I don't need to sign that. I beat Kessler & Froch".

Yessss. Caballero/Haskins is a much better fight anyways.

Ward in a PPV of this magnitude would be good in order to broaden his audience and build up to the Kovalev showdown.

Not if he has a boring 12 round fight and the heavy Mexican/Puerto crowd after hyped up with earlier exciting fights boo him. This had a chance of being a real snoozer and none of the fans who bought tickets bought tickets to see Ward so they have no problem booing and getting nasty. That would of been a bad look for Ward.

Link please!!!

News alert... Ward is back on! ...against himself. First half of the fight he will debate why he let his career go down the drain and in the second half he will justify Brand as a valid opponent. Then the public will vote who wins.... But we already know who loses.

"some very high and powerful people in the sport don't like Ward"

I can't remember EXACTLY who said that...but I know I cringed when I heard it....I'm just gonna sit back and wait for the details to emerge instead of assuming at this point
