Andre Ward offers Marco Antonio Periban a HBO-televised fight

[Eastcoast]

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Between Wards ego and the fact that it Roc Nation is seemingly pretty clueless when it comes to boxing, it's going to be pretty frustrating to be an Andre Ward fan in the near future. Let's just hope the Krusher fight happens in the fall.

Right now there's better odds that Canelo/GGG happens over Kovalev/Ward.

Canelo/GGG will happen. Golden Boy wants to get another fight for Canelo first, which is fine. But I'd bet good money Canelo/GGG happens in the fall.

Ward is in a catch 22, his high purse demands, won't leave enough for a quality opponent and he's not a big enough name for PPV. He'll have to compromise but his ego won't allow it.

Most of these guys know that they'll lost to ward, so they want to be compensated for it (ala Edwin Rodriguez), no one is going to risk their record for "peanuts".

No, he's very reliable.

He writes for several websites including ESPN and The Ring.

He was let go by ESPN years ago. He writes for his own website (The Sweet Science) and recently has started adding content to the Ring as well. He posts a lot of random rumors, half of which are not based in truth or reason.

Ward will not fight a guy like Periban, he will fight Barrera or Shabranskyy or another fighter of that caliber (top-15 to 20 fighter with upside, likely undefeated).
