HBO trying to make Ward vs. Pascal

[ShoulderRoll]

only from people that actually went and even boxing reporters but i guess they don't hold any weight with you? i get my info from people that cover boxing and who have actual sources. i dont just make it up like floyd fans. could i be wrong? maybe but so much evidence says i am right.

Can you give a link to your sources? So we can see this evidence for ourselves?

I was there so his whole "people didnt show up" line is crap

Your source is Steve Kim saying "Some dude from Oakland tweeted me that they were giving away tickets for some random contest this one time so let me extrapolate from that that they gave away half their tickets"

Alvarez is Haymon. No way he lets Kovalev get Montreal money off him.

well from all reporting his last 2 fights have done terribly as far as people actually showing up. the offiical ticket sales might have "done well" but thats because they are counting third party ticket vendors as sales when the truth is those tickets weren't able to be sold. also they gave away reportedly thousands of free tickets for both fights. this just shows how stubborn ward is. refuses to travel at all even when he's the b-side. refuses to give up anything. refuses to fight unless everything is his way. kovalev is the one guy that doesn't care and will fight him even at a disadvantage so props to him but lets hope he doesn't get screwed like kessler did.

You're lying to protect your coward Golovkin. Ward was beyond a sellout you racist moron.

Only thing that bothers me is that Pascal is not top 10 anymore, which is what Ward should be looking to fight. On the positive side, if it happens he is staying active before fighting Kovalev. I think because of the styles, Pascal may give Ward a tougher time than he gave Kovalev, like Kov vs Pascal 1 but only it goes 12.

Critics have nothing to talk about now that they see Ward vs Kovalev will actually happen. They're now talking about tickets. Next, after the fight is over and Ward gets his hands raised you will see them post about headbutts and hugging and make video documentation of all 'dirty moves' Ward did to win. Before all this, it's that Kovalev will KO Ward and that Ward won't fight him.

Pascal's tank is on empty though.

Other than right hand target practice (for which Pascal will be open for all night), this fight, IMO, is pointless and probably not even marketable.

why would anyone wanna see this fight from a technical stand point? I feel like only casuals feel like this could be a decent matchup and only because they know his name. Ward has very good defense and is a tactical wiz and pascal is easily hit, throws far too wide punches and his only shot will be by ko, which he's never really done vs the elite. It'll be a blowout and worse it won't prepare ward for kovalev because he such an awkward, unique matchup. I'd take cleverly or an euro dude over this.

Id rather see Ward in with someone fresh...Pascal has been in tough damn near every fight since fighting froch years ago....he may not win them all but this cat has heart


Chilemba, Fonfara would be nice
