Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Promoter Frustrated, Expresses Doubt on Ward Fight

[Deletrious]

Everyone who deals with Roc Nation and/or Ward agree they are the biggest pain in the ass negotiators. I'm sure Ward wants the fight, but I'm also sure he or his promoter may blow it.

Kathy Duva is the worst...if anybody blows it it'll be her.

SHE is the one that killed the Stevenson fight.

Two wack promoters leads to a wack promotion. Nothing to see here.

Pretty much this...


If I'm hbo, I'm pissed.. They shelled out money for years now trying to build a stevenson-kovolev fight and now a kovolev-Ward fight. If this fight doesn't happen, I don't see hbo paying for anymore tuneups unless your name is canelo or Golovkin

This^^^^

I have said it before and i'll say it again: Roc Nation is the worst promotional outfit in boxing, it's like they literally have no idea what they are doing.

Golovkin fans are fat, racist losers who live through him. You live alone because no one wants you. I've never seen you in a thread about anyone who wasn't HBO. You're a casual.

Hold up, I hardly ever agree with anything you say, but here's the deal. Yes, many GGG fans on here are piece of shiiiit racist. I see it from time to time. **** them. They should be ignored.

I ****ing hate Trump supporting right wing nationalist who attach themselves to his message and then support GGG, a ****ing immigrant who is only accepted by them because he isn't brown. Thy truly can **** off.

I get it, it ****ing sucks.

However, don't lump us all in that group. It's not fair. I've never assumed you like Lara based on color of skin. Wouldn't care if you did. I don't view it as a bad thing to be proud of who you are as long as you treat others with respect.

Please don't assume me liking GGG is based on race, it isn't. In fact I probably didn't notice him at first because he was a non-American. Him being white means nothing to me.

I like Spence for the same reasons I enjoy watching GGG, they bring the fight. I dislike Lara based on style, nothing more.

You assuming "GGG fans are fat racist" only serves to feed into this racial divide in the sport. It means your perpetuating the same hate and division they are.

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Ward, come on.

If this were GGG doing this, oh man.

Why is it always something when it's time for Kov to make a big fight. When Kathy begged WBC for the mandatory spot she got it and when it was time for Stevenson vs Kovalev to go to purse bid she pulled out of the fight and had Kov vacate his #1 spot with the WBC. Now it's time for Kov to fight Ward and here she go again with some BS. Kathy is the problem here. She doesn't want to lose the only gravy train she's had in a while. God she gets on my nerves.

Are you kidding me. I don't like Kov, he said some bogus **** I don't like. But this is on Ward.

Oh please, my dad and millions of other Black people fought for this country but you don't look at them as Americans. You turn your back on your own country for race.

It's unfortunate a segment of Americans have decided to let this hate be open.

I kind of am glad, because these right wing racist are public now.

So this fall when we beat them at the ballot box, they can see for good that they are an antiquated group clinging onto a false picture of an America that never existed.

Make American Great again to them jeans make it White again. It's was never great for all people. Until it is, America will be one huge disappointment.

Duva stated - "Well, Dave Itskowitch, who worked for Roc Nation at the time and I made a deal with the MGM (Properties) - we had a deal. The on-sale should've happened now. They were saying we need signed contracts, blah, blah, I don't think I've ever done a fight where contracts with an arena were signed before they went on sale. But it seems that every day it's something so I have to assume that either we'll resolve this or we wont."

And there's also this issue - "My fear is of course, Bob Arum wants to do a fight in Las Vegas on November 5th (which will feature Manny Pacquiao) and he wants the November 19th date and if we lose our venue on the 19th my fear is that we'll lose this date and I hope that doesn't happen."

The good news is that its still early August but there is a sense of urgency to get this promotion going. When asked when they might have a resolution, Duva told BoxingScene.com:

"I really can't give you a day, I really do hope we can work out our differences. As for as I'm concerned we do have an agreement with MGM and we plan to live up to it. What Roc Nation decides to do...I think it's very telling if they do decide to pull out of the agreement that they made back in June.

"Perhaps there's more going on than we know."

I mean .... what ?
Good old Duva not having a clue as usual ... My goodness that Lady is dumb !

Golovkin touch your pee pee or something when you were a kid?
That mfer is living rent free in your head man.

Hahaha ....he's had his Weener grabbed
