James DeGale: Will Andre Ward fight me?

[TripleGFightFan]

so he earns a lot of money and won't fight carl froch in england?

who else gets coddled in boxing?
the best fighters? do they generally get this high pay grade and the ability to chose where they fight to keep from getting robbed blind in europe? have oyu thought about why ward doesn't fight in europe?


chad dawson was dumb to sign a contract to fight at 168 lbs. he asked for it on national TV. they didn't go to the weight thinking they were going to be drained and lose. if you're andre ward, and a guy asks to fight at 168 for your belts, are you going to say "no, let's go an LB north, where my belts won't be on the line." a catchweight above 168 is not a 168 lb catchweight. it is a catchweight for a fight at LHW.

and finally, on goossen, andre ward had a good thing going with goossen. he secured him fights in oakland in the SS, and a final in AC [which is not oakland, but isn't in froch's backyard either.] he got him on TV and made him a lot of money. i've said for a long time that ward's to blame for his feud with goossen. somebody was in his ear talking about pay per view.

i dont' think it was a good idea to think about pay per view money and that kind of pay grade until floyd mayweather retired. he probably squandeered at least two fights on HBO or showtime with a seven figure payday.


he did, however, separate from goossen and put himself into position to become a ppv attraction in the wake of the retirement of floyd mayweather. he was right to think that goossen wasn't fit to move him as a ppv attraction, but he jumped the gun about when he should get there. the correct time was the retirement of floyd mayweather.

i'm not convinced that rocnation has the background to turn him into a star, but they've certainly got more capital than joe goossen did to back a possible PPV fighter.

RIP to goossen. he was a very good promotor. andre ward catches plenty of crap for how he handled his contracts in the wake of the super six, and he deserves.


i can't tell a lot of you apart, because you all repeat the same things you see others regurgitate. additionally, a lot of posters here are the same people with multiple accounts.

are you going to engage in some kind of meaningful discourse, or are you ehre to call andre ward a girl?

I like your posting style...very mature and level headed reasonable respectful responses...which you don't see much here...and we're supposed to be grown men...(well most of us)...

Anyway...great post!...
