I call bull**** in the sense that we've known the exact date for the fight for months. Months. But never have they said where the fight would be. Now suddenly that's been agreed to for a year? So why not state that? All we've known is Russia and Oakland have been excluded. Suddenly tho, T-Mobile areana, an arena that didn't even exist when the talks for this fight started, was agreed upon. I dunno what Duva is working but it sounds like a lot of bull****.

"The Kovalev-Ward fight, which was signed long ago but is contingent on each remaining undefeated through interim bouts, will take place November 19 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas."

So Kathy Duva just gave an interview to UCN, telling that the Kick-Off Presser was planned with Roc Nation weeks ago, and only a couple days ago Ward and Roc Nation suddenly sent an Email that they would not attend.

Same with the venue. As everybody knows, the T-Mobile Arena was agreed on last year already for Kovalev vs Ward. They were just going to announce the Arena officially and start the Presale for the Tickets, when Roc Nation suddenly contacted them hours before that the announcement should be cancelled, same with the presale.



You still defend Ward/Roc Nation? This is disgusting. Not informing the media or the fans whats up, suddenly wanting to change the venue which was agreed on a year ago and not even attending their own presser.

that's f#cking scary. there are two sides to every story, but if andre ward / rocnation keep this fight from happening i am done with them. absolutely done.

That part about the venue is not true, all the headlines made about the fight normally had the date but the location was never a sure thing, I hadn't heard of the arena being mentioned till maybe the last month or so.

It doesn't make Ward look good in that he didn't turn up to the presser but he also gave them a weeks notice that he wouldn't be there, he just fought a few days ago. I can't recall anyone having to do a presser so soon after having a fight.

I like Ward and have belief in him winning this fight so I guess I will see things more from his point of view, those who dislike him will obviously see things the other way and that's fine... they have a right to criticise his actions because the bold fact is that he didn't attend the first presser (no matter how poorly organised it looked).

Duva said her lawyer is reviewing the contracts, lets hope Ward/RN are just playing games and not looking for an out. If Ward bails on this fight, HBO should sue for the Brand & Barrera purse money back.
