Andre Ward & sweepstakes?

Im more shocked no-one replied to this thread blaming all of this on GGG yet.

Boxingscene is evolving.

Bravo.

... trolling on the "GGG duck" issue is outdated already... the "anti-Irish racism" is now drawing the headlines on Boxingscene...

No, because people on here too busy blaming it on racism.

We're racist for making fun of Andre Ward Sweepstakes... because it's totally sweepstakes

[tiliheels]

because barrera has a guaranteed shot against kovalev. he will almost certainly make more than 200k against a guy who has 3 belts and is considered the best fighter in the division by many. ward is not considered the p4p king unless you count your own rankings which i don't.

ward is considered in active but still the best talent that boxing has got and you know it..and i dont think i said p4p king..i said anyone on the p4p list..when u name reach that u are a ticket..
and for you info kovalev did pay in last mando more than 200k..at least that is wat i hear
and he is better off facing a lighter puncher for less money that will just decision him instead of fight kovalev for an extra 50k and gettin killed..
if he beats ward that even more money kov has to pay him..this is a sweepstakes for him pocket and career wise

[tiliheels]

Let me guess.... it's racist that nobody is talking about the Rigondeaux sweepstakes

Cong**** to Lundy on winning the Terrence Crawford Sweepstakes too

rigo isnt a sweepstakes bc he is too dangerous i his own division and too darn ducked..its to uncompetitive to be a sweepstakes..nothing about knowing u cant win and not getting huge money is a sweepstakes...but if he moves up he just makes himself an even smaller man than he is at 122 already..and that is no fair to him...boxing just got to much puss in it
but yes if framp or quiig or anyone beats him...their career goes to another level..

it is nearly the same with ward..but the prize is in dethroning him..

And now Rigondeaux is not a sweepstakes... but he met the Ward criteria of being a top fighter.

wan't the argument that if you won, your career what improve and that was the real prize in the sweepstakes.

jesus christ...just stop it already

[MDPopescu]

... Ward is "still the best talent" simply because he ducked Bute (in Oakland), Golovkin (at 168 -- whom Dre "called out" only after he fought at 172), Stevenson (at 168), Kessler (rematch in Denmark), Froch (rematch in Nottingham)...

[US Dirk Killer]

HAHAHAHA, HOLY SCHITTT!

You can't make this up... these guys aren't even trolling either... they're serious! They're ****ing serious about this!

they are sweepstakes that u have to win..u dont just win by entering..there are a more like buying a lottery ticket...u're 99% sure to lose..but if you do win u're the hop topic...

but nobody seems to be standing in those lottery lines..and the fans never push those guys to get in line, bc they dont want to give props to ward for beating barrera..they rather make fun of him for nsac stopping his bum fight..
if they had it their way rigo and ward would both come off 2 year lay offs to fight lomo and ward..as they both moved up in weight..

sad thing is "they have had it their way"..if u cant beat them get rid of them...why didnt hbo promote the 122 division like they are doing the 160lb division when guys like frampton, quigg, and donaire are all stars for rigo..and the lomo fight is right there waitin for him...but they promote ggg vs the bum squad of 160...
pure BS bro..they dropped the ball
go ahead and say boring..but to that i say floyd did 1.5 millin ppvs on their network with the same style..

Floyds got the gift of the gab, and at least the names he was facing had resonance with the more casual fan
