      It is possible that Ward could sit, however, because there is very little money to make a fight for him given HBO’s budget constraints. Roc Nation approached Golden Boy about contender Vyacheslav Shabranskyy (16-0, 13 KOs) facing Ward, but they were way apart on the money.
      Seems like it was a money issue. I won't say he don't want the fight because I don't know how much they offered him. HBO budget problems is becoming a big problem if you can't get Shabranskyy in the ring. Unless GBP asked for to much to spite Roc Nation. Who else is it out there they can get?

        Wade was rated #10 on the chitlin boxing circuit and Monroe was rated #1 Boxcino Shabranskyy aint in Ward's class (but who is?) but he's light years ahead of Wade but that dude trying to make the comparison. smh

          Yeah I kid you not, they were bringing up tweets about Ward supposedly turning him down. Obviously there were no articles but you know how that section of fans are: if you sign one fight it means your ducking everybody else automatically.

          We can package that story with the one about Ward turning GGG down 3 times or something like that

            OnePunch is a moron, it's easy to see why he failed as a boxing promoter.

                      Eleider Alvarez has a fight scheduled but no opponent on June 4th. Is that a PBC date?

                      Andrzej Fonfara has a fight scheduled June 18th with no opponent named. Is that a PBC card?

                      Thomas Oosthuizen doesn't have a fight scheduled. Who is he with?

                      Cleverly has a fight scheduled for late May in Scotland. If Ward is willing to travel maybe they can push the date back. Will Roc Nation work with Matchroom?
