Loeffler: Ward vs. GGG more realistic if Ward beats Kovalev

[bigjavi973]

If GGG beats Canelo and Ward beats Kovalev this becomes a mega fight. Back in 2012 when he had a meeting with Peter Nelson he gave Nelson a list of 20 possible names and Ward was on the list. That's when Abel said he'd fight anyone from 154-168. It's got to be a big fight in order for Golovkin to take a risk and move outside his weight class and he has to be compensated well. Like when Floyd fought Oscar and Canelo. Team has never disrespected Ward. The criticism of Ward was his inactivity.

but but but but but........


They know what's up as to why they used every excuse in the book since they were willing to fight Chavez Jr & Froch, both who are slightly bigger especially chavez jr, at full 168 lbs but ward HAD to be at 164 or no fight

But but but but Ward ducked the fight, nothing worse than a coWard who isn't willing to challenge himself but expects everyone to come up for him, drain himself and so on Ward being guilty of both mentioned.

More realistic, from being not realistic at all, I don't like the prospects of that. Please don't use Ward's name to build up GGG, that's when Ward becomes upset and starts calling you out, and then his fans get all scared and tell Ward to move up and face Tyson Fury.

Please tell me you're joking.

They said 'maybe in 2017' last year and have stayed on message since. Not sure why people are still confused about it.

Do you believe GGG will go up to 175 or a catchweight between 168-175, to fight a hypothetical version of Andre Ward who just beat Sergey freaking Kovalev at 175? The best LHW in the world, and a top 3 P4P fighter(Kovalev #1 in my eyes). Nothing in Abel(who says he has a say in GGG's business)K2's behavior tells me that would actually happen. Best case scenario is they will act like they want Ward, but tell him to come down to 168, or low ball him just to say 'look, we tried, he wouldn't budge'.

Embarrassing, simply embarrassing. A guy who fights the likes of Dominic Wade and Willie Monroe and can't sell more than 100,000 ppvs should not be talking about making fights bigger. I mean, just no.

GGG's last fight sold 150k on HBO PPV. It was screened in over 100 countries world-wide and both repeat broacasts on HBO were watched by $1.25 million viewers.

It brought in enough money for Loeffler to be able to make a $3 million offer to BJS, which is more than Ward has ever earned for a fight.

[SplitSecond]

The fight can't happen now, because Ward "fans" believe Ward shouldn't have to compromise, ever. Either GGG comes to 175 or no fight.

[BrometheusBob.]

Lmao what weight do they want it at doe? Not sure after 3 fights above 168 if a fight at 164 is gonna be doable. I don't think this fight ever happens.

Loeffler gonna Loeffler.

I don't see the fight happening. Ward has already stated once he goes to 175 he's not coming back down. As Loeffler pointed out GGG will take a risk for a big payday. Froch last offered them the fight at 172 and it was turned down. If Froch (80,000 at Wembley) at 172 was rejected I highly doubt Ward (8,000 at Oracle) coming off a win over my p4p #1 (Kovalev) would be made at 175.
