Complaining for no reason, Barrera isn't exactly world renowned so where else would draw a better live gate than Ward's hometown?

Did Ward send any email offer to Barrera yet?

Ward's career strategy for avoiding unwanted fights: lawsuits, injuries and lowball offers. They are all ducking Scared Of Golovkin doe.......smh.

sad how when a boxer gets hurt everyone is quick to say pray for such and such...but no one ever takes into consideration the risk these guys run into when they step into the ring. People these guys put there life on the line for us fans to watch lets not forget that theres a reason why its called prize fighting

WRONG!!!!

They put their lives on the line for the check they are getting. It just so happens that what they are doing for that check entertains us as fans.

soooo barrera is big money? why do i get the feeling abel sanchez doesn't want any of his fighters going near ward.

Why do I get the feeling that Ward is going to duck out of all meaningful fights this year and end up suing Jay-Z to get paid without actually boxing?

[mathed]

Doesn't sound that bad considering most don't know who he is. Maybe the fight can get made if the purse is bumped up a little. Anyone know what his highest purse is to date?

He wins a title eliminator and Ward makes him an offer of 300K or whatever while Ward makes 2M and Ward brings nothing to the table at all. Barrera's status as a 175 pound fighter carries more weight than Ward's does and he'll have to fight in Ward's backyard against biased refs.... but he should have just taken the offer according to some posters? LOL, OK, sure.

If he can't beat a dead guy, he's going to have a lot of trouble with a live one.
Also, he knows he can't be put on ice anym....actually you can never count that out. I hope he knows he can't sit out again for trying to sue somebody to get what he wants

They're trying to push their price up IMO. Who else can Ward fight on HBO that HBO would be cool with?
Options are slim and they're trying to see how far they can drive it up.
