Why is Ward willing to wait to 2017 for Kovalev but not GGG!

[bballchump11]

wtf people were getting mad at Ward for not moving up to fight Kovalev. Some even said he was looking to pick on a smaller fighter in GGG.

Now he moves up and he's accused of ducking? Predictable

[HeroBando]

He would have waited if GGG agreed to the fight like Kovalev did. Unlike GGG, Ward isn't a little ***** that will wait hand foot for another fighter that isn't even willing to sign an official fight contract

Maybe on BET, not the way to build up that fight. But what does he care, 50/50 against smaller A sider is only right.

Apparently Wards not little, 186 fight night. But still not big enough for divisions best, 3 tuneups may do it.

That's nonsense. What are you talking about?

To get an HBO contract Ward had to agree to fight Kovalev at the end of a 3 fight deal ending fall 2016. His second fight can be no later than June or July, forgot which month, but it's part of the contract.

K2/Loeffler replied to Roc Nation's email of a fight with Ward in 30 minutes saying no. So that's a no go from the start, it's not like they said "Yeah but in 2017". They simply said they're not interested in that fight.

HBO wanted Ward-Kovalev..GGG refused the fight and Ward moved on with his life

[Larry the boss]

Why did ward even mention kovalev.

Kovalevs name got hbo to pay for tune ups
At the price of a normal hbo card for ward


Ward has used hbo's hot ticket names to sell his fights. If he didnt , no one would pay attention

He beat a journeyman and a inexperienced old cuban . the urban way is to wait your opponent out. Age , wear and tear and hopefully a loss.

Ward= poor mans floyd

"THE URBAN WAY"???? why is racism all the sudden ok on here?

All of a sudden?

Ward took the man's road. Golovkin was not up for the challenge and wanted lucrative fights; rather than wait around, he moved up a weight class.

Actually, that's EXACTLY what they said. They knew there was no chance they could fit Ward into their 15/16 schedule, and they said 2017.

They didn't say they will agree fight Ward in 2017.

They didn't say they will agree fight Ward in 2017.

They said maybe in 2017. Ward went on his Lil g rant right after.

Which was ironic, because when k2 offered him the fight in early 15, he's the one who said "later in 2016 after a few tune ups"

[Robbie Barrett]

Ward should wait around for queen Lil' Gina to grow some balls? GTFOH
