What year did HBO sit GGG & Ward down for the meeting?

[SplitSecond]

Must be funny trying to defend this fraudster because you of hate for a successful foreign fighter.

Guy is already complaining that he is pressured into moving up, even though he cant make 168 anymore. What a blatant embarrassment for the sport.

What's funny about that is that I recently ran across an article from around 2013 with Ward stating he wont be pressured into moving up to 175. Hilarious.

when ward was the a-side ggg was willing to fight him on his terms but ward wasn't

when ggg was the a-side ward wasn't willing to fight on ggg's terms

when froch was the a-side ggg was willing to fight on froch's terms

common denominator=ward needs special treatment in order to fight. same thing happened in the super six where he wouldn't fight unless he had every fight in his home country while froch fought in 4 countries.

Ward fans will just ignore this like every other fact. They seem to be mindless parrots who keep repeating Ward's lies and unstable arguments.

Because if GGG beats up Canelo on PPV, Ward would be lucky to get 25% lol. It's like Winky Wright telling Floyd way back, lets commit on 50/50 after you're done with DLH

That's where you negotiate. I don't think there's an agreement on the split for Ward-Kovalev yet, just a verbal agreement that they'll fight in late 2016.

GGG's team have never been willing to negotiate a fight with Ward. They simply don't want that fight. Boxing fans have let it go. GGG Nation is in complete disarray over it still.

You don't understand this whole Ward Kov thing. Nobody negotiates 3 fights in advance, it's ridiculous. But the only way HBO lets Ward back on is if he commits to that fight, which he's been uncomfortable with, see other thread.

HBO want him to commit to that fight so he's as far away from their potential cash cow as possible

Real boxing fans know what's going on here. You guys need to get over it and continue to enjoy the mythical adventures of Little G.

Times are tough. They need those 97,000 buys.

Yeah its funny how Ward keeps changing his opinions and tries to fool the public and fans who have no common sense like a couple people on NSB as can be seen in this thread.

Apparently he cant make 168 any longer, he had 2 years to make 168 and still decided to fight at 172. Ward is at least as big as Kovalev and he is not getting younger, he fought at 176 at the olympics and really enjoys either draining fighters like Dawson or make smaller guys move up in weight, like Paul Smith, Rohan Murdock and that 40 year old columbian he wanted to fight next.

He actually managed to have the NSAC reject some of his opponents. Thats quite an achievement trying to bully undersized no hopers that even the NSAC rejects.

Verbal agreement? Lmao. We're still waiting for Floyd to fight Margarito then. That's a verbal agreement that everyone saw.

Verbal agreements mean squat.

That actually came from his own mouth. Now he's complaining he's being pressured to move up. He's become a huge joke in the sport.

They have 2 top guys fighting at same weight, neither one of whom has a decent opponent. It's a logical fight, unless you're Ward and feel like it's too much to expect. Meanwhile in the big leagues you got the Canelo/Cotto vs GGG mega fight
