This is what I call "pure gold" post...
... Fight in Oakland, have Jack Reiss as ref, and have at least Morrow and Christodoulou as judges.
... and get a 75-25 purse for Ward.
... "We dare to be great".
... Did I ever call you in this manner? You know I didn't...
So, take a walk, kid...Last edited by MDPopescu; 08-10-2016, 08:32 AM.Comment

She was frontin. Demanded the WBC purse bid because of these Russian "high rollers" that would of bid for her, then ran away scared when Team Stevenson called her bluff.
This is what happens when you have amateur promoters in charge of big time fighters. I give her credit for discovering Kovalev, giving him a chance no one else did and taking his career this far. But his career has hit a stopping point and if she ****s this up, he will have reached his peak which is unfortunate. If she can't close the Ward deal that's 2 major fights she ****ed up and it's time she sells his promotional rights to someone who can handle fighters of this caliber and on this level.Comment

Fight fans we have this Delusion that it is about US THE FANS, it is not and it has never been, it has always been about the MONEY and about BUSINESS the difference is we have internet so we get more information faster compared to depending on RING Magazines every Month
You honestly think Don King in his PRIME as a Promoter cared about the fans? *** NO! It was always about the Money! Same thing now, for K2, GBP, Mainevents, Top Rank, Haymon fighters, it is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! Fans have somehow fooled themselves into think it is about them and sadly it never was about us. Maybe some of you are just extremely young and not mature enough to understand
I love Boxing and I have learned over many years that it is a sport that you have to take the good with the bad and you will have to take a lot of bad before you get to the good
Nobody forces you to watch, you can turn it off at anytime, it is ENTERTAINMENT not a Necessity. Some of you complain about boxing like it is your Phone Service or Utility Service and like it is something you need to live. You don't like what you see, TURN IT OFF! But I don't think your 1 View is going to change anything
I'm not going to stop watching anytime soon, what I don't like I don't watch and what I do like I watch, Simple Solution!Last edited by sicko; 08-10-2016, 08:55 AM.Comment

Don King packed arenas and made **** happen. It is what it is. When did you ever see a joke of a kick-off press conference for a Top Rank/Golden Boy/Don King, hell even a Mayweather Promotions PPV.Fight fans we have this Delusion that it is about US THE FANS, it is not and it has never been, it has always been about the MONEY and about BUSINESS the difference is we have internet so we get more information faster compared to depending on RING Magazines every Month

The fight is 3 months away and they don't even have a venue!!!! How are we supposed to book flights, hotels and make plans for vacation???
You say it's about business, how is this good business? They had the pre-fight press conference for Sergey Kovalev vs. Andre Ward November 19th PPV but only had one minor issue. No Andre Ward!!!!Comment

MY POINT EXACTLY! While we b1tch and complain the fighters, WTF are these Current Promoters doing besides sitting back and waiting for HBO to pay for everything? Don King was a Crook Piece Of **** like most promoters but one thing he was able to do is not only get big fights done but also Sell The Fight on his own! No promoters can do that now!
As for the Ward vs Kovalev Presser, that proves my point as well of how **** the promoters are now. They can't even organize a Presser Properly. For a fight of this magnitude the pressure needs to be more than some Hole In A Wall Pressure. That looked like some last minute put together BS (even though Duva said she told Roc Nation Weeks ago "Allegedly"), was the Boxing Press even aware of that Presser? Most of them seem as if they had no clue it was happening either. That being said, it is plenty of time between now at November 19th to promote and organize a PROPER Press Tour!Last edited by sicko; 08-10-2016, 09:25 AM.Comment
