Why didn't Ward accept to fight GGG at 164?

[M Bison]

So now Golovkin only fights fighters who are known and have a big fan base right?

Monroe jr- huge fan base
adama- huge fan base
Lemieux- ppv star
Ricky Rubio the basketball player- Mexican legend.(Lol)
Macklin- huge fan base
geale- huge fan base
rosado huge fan base
wade- cash cow

Ward has no fanbase doe.

GTFOH

All those guys you mentioned apart from Wade and Monroe Jr all have one thing in common...
They actual travel they're not afraid to fight in someone elses territory unlike lil Ward who can't jump on a plane for a rematch with the biggest PPV name at 168.

Ward is a nobody, unheard of you really think Floyd would jump up to 154 to fight Lara?
This is the same case Ward and Lara both talented but nobody cares or knows who they are.

I answer the question for you: silence for 8 months until GGG signed to fight Lemieux.

In fact, GGG team offered a fight at 164 but they also agreed to possibly fight Ward at 168, after Ward would have fought 1-2 big names and "re-establish" him self... What Ward did? He chased Murdock and Brand instead and... (you guessed right) he got "injured" into the process.

(Remember? The commission even refused to sanction that Murdock fight, doe...)

And that's what canelo is doing. Negotiating, so don't be a hyoocrite and call him a coward when he requests 155 for GGG.

2 can play that game

you conveniently are omitting the fact that GGG and Canelo are champs in the SAME DIVISION.

Truth was Ward didn't know what to do. He had admitted he can't make the weight anymore. Problem was, if he moves up there's the Kovalev danger lurking. He's confused as hell at that point. Meanwhile he had to play the GG card as long as it lasts. But he had to make a decision, move up or stay at his weight? He just picked the lesser evil.

Umm, Ward called Floyd out at 160?

The reason why Ward would sacrifice eight ponds to fight FLoyd, is because the MONEY and magnitde of the fight.

The reason GGG would sacrifice more to fight Froch is the magnitude of the fight, and the money involved. Froch just did 80k in Wembley against the unproven Groves. GGG would have made AT LEAST double than he would in at fight against Ward, doing maybe 250k in the States.


Ward straight BITHCED OUT. NEEXXT.

shiiiiit

D'oh they really don't know what they're talking about do they lol.

[MisterPullman]

Enough is enough.

Ward would fight Floyd at 160, not GGG at 164.
GGG would fight Froch at 168, not Ward at 168.

GGG is still stuck in his division, trying to fight a real opponent...
Ward has moved up to fight in a completely new division and go after the monster of the sport AKA Kovalev

I like both fighters.. but from this view, I can actually see which fighter is chasing greatness and which fighter is trying to make big bucks $

[Jewish-Reptile]

so when Floyd made 154 for Oscar and Cotto but not Canelo (152), was he "scared"?


Answer: Nope. Its called NEGOTIATING dummy

Fear, he used it in negotiating due to fear of course a 154 Canelo, he knew Canelo would bust his nuts shaking that extra 2 pound and come fight night boy did it tell, Canelo looked awful on the scales and it told in the fight.

Look at Geale in the Cotto fight he looked worse than Canelo did on the scales for Floyd and in their fight it told also. GGG is a piece of shyt, ducking *****, coward and a f@g for demanding a weight he knew Ward can not make without causing himself helth problems. GGG is no better than Canelo, I hope the fight between them happens and Canelo sticks to his guns at 155, then we can hear all the excuses why GGG was unable to perform like he usually does against tin cans.

GGG may as well have said 'I don't want to face Ward' that's all I hear when I read 'I offered 164 for Ward' P*ssy, nothing more to it, scared his hype train would come to an end. Fear is a powerful motivater, in this case it motivated GGG to make absurd claims.

[bluebeam]

What was Ward's immediate reaction to GGG's first offer?

What offer? Abel sachez is not a promoter or a Manager. He is a trainer. He said 50/50 164 catchweight. Not Tom Loeffler. So unless you got a video of Loeffler saying he offered Ward the fight. Stop spewing fanboy propaganda.

I have never heard Tom Loeffler say he offered Ward a fight. But I have heard him say team ward offered them a fight. It's just that the Lemiuex fight was already done according to Loeffler
