You must have forgotten this "lil treasure" http://www.boxingscene.com/roc-natio...minutes--96761

yeah u quoted that already. "hey guys lets send an e-mail for an offer to a guy thats already scheduled to fight someone else on ppv" haha tbh 36 minutes is too much time to tell em to fu ck off. Seriously its pathetic that your still stuck on that. Almost as if your mad ward is gonna lose to kovalev

[nycsmooth]

GGG KO's Jr no problem, hope it does not happen as he does nothing 2 earn it... just as his old man ducked Duran 4 years when Manos went 2 WW & called him.out...

When he was with roc nation? So his first fight after a long layoff would have been Golovkin? haha if so then its laughable for him to think he had any leverage on golovking to be making a fight on his own terms. mr. i need 3 tune ups to get ready. Yeah it is a smart move he's making money selling out arena's and staying active while ward cant even make 168 and is now gonna get his ass kicked by kovalev. Stay salty

I'm not salty. I think GGG's fans are getting "salty" because they realize that without a Ward fight, and now without a Canelo fight, GGG will have another b-level opponent, and there's no end in sight. Sit back and watch Canelo vs. Khan and Kovalev vs. Ward. Maybe GGG gets a big fight in 2017...or one day!

I'm just glad Ward is looking for that fight. That's what champs do. They win the Super-Six, dominate 168, and when the "Lil Boys" won't man up, you move up and fight the best! Kovalev vs. Ward, can't wait!

Even if by some miracle Chavez Jr makes 168, he will be 190+ on fight night.

yep, basically; you add that it took nearly 9 rounds of Fonfara(a giant 175er) beating on him to finally break though that chin and things could get interesting

He fought Paul Smith, and then would've had one more fight before fighting Golovkin to open up the year.

At this point, GGG and his team have to really consider moving up. It's clear Canelo isn't going to fight him until they know for sure they can win or IF AT ALL...

September 16, 2016:

"Little G' turned down an official fight with us," Ward told the reporter. "The reality is for all the talk ... the proof is in the pudding. I have an email right now that shows we gave them what they want ... 50/50 ... and the man -- the promoter --turned it down, said maybe 2017."

Quickly after the video was posted, Golovkin's Los Angeles-based promoter Tom Loeffler called The Times to refute that version of events, stressing he wanted to clarify the "context" of his rejection.

Loeffler said the email from an official of Ward’s promoter, Roc Nation Sports, extends a 50/50 purse-split offer to fight in 2016 after each fighter took one fight earlier in the year.

"It would’ve been a bad deal to take," Loeffler said...

"If you don’t want to fight a fighter, think it’s not your style, just say that," Ward said on the video. "The truth is, they never wanted the fight. The reality is we offered him a fight six, seven months ago, before we knew he had a pay-per-view coming up ... 50%. He turned it down in five minutes. The short and long of it is they never wanted the fight."

Good luck with Chavez Jr. @ 164...I mean 168!

No one should believe a MF'n word that Lying Loeffler says. He's been caught lying so many times it's not even comical anymore.

[PETUFF]

FINALY some Mexican have some balls?

[jaded]

Jr no longer has enough star power to make this fight watchable at any weight...everybody knows what he's about now. Those days are long gone...he's just high again and blabbering.
