    Show me anything prior to the event that stated this was supposed to be the official kickoff press conference for Ward vs. Kovalev. It's Duva finally getting her time to shine and she's jumping the gun. She went rogue with this even and it turned into a ****show.
    If that's the case then why is this even a problem.

    Duva is always doing stuff like this it seems.... usually backfires though lol.

      Well I appreciate all that. It would have worked had I said he was billed to appear. What I have essentially stated thus far is him not bothering with the first presser doesn't make him look good. Oh & when Kovalevs promoter is beginning to express doubt (http://www.boxingscene.com/kovalevs-...-fight--107558) on the fight I think anyone who feels sceptical has a cause too, don't you? I mean Kovalev makes the effort to watch the ****-fest that was Brand but Ward cant appear alongside him in actually promoting the fight? Here's an idea Andre, focus less on Brand & more on Kovalev then you wouldn't be having to miss pressers for a boxing mega fight days after fighting a scrub..

      Priorities anyone? Even Wards fans are acting divas on his behalf now LMAO

      Pathetic.

        I was surprised it was a big deal that Ward wasn't there. I sign up for the email alerts. They never said Ward was supposed to be there. From day one I was under the impression that this was a Kovalev event. This is being blown way out of proportion.

            Please show me an example of when a fighter has been on a presser 3 days after a fight. The Brand fight was put together very late, since the kickoff presser for the Kovalev fight was arranged well before the Brand fight it's possible that Ward and RN didn't know the Brand fight would be so close to this presser.

            They should have given Main Events earlier notice that they wouldn't attend or at the very least send a representative to the presser. I can give you that because I'm not a lying fan boy like yourself.
            You are essentially arguing that Brand is priority over Kovalev. You taking issue with someone pointing out Wards skewed priorities rather than questioning those odd priorities yourself says more about you than me.

            Priorities anyone? Even Wards fans are acting divas on his behalf now LMAO

              The Brand fight is a tune up for the Kovalev fight.... Are you purposely being daft??

                Duva expressing doubt:

                What was supposed to be the formal announcement of the November 19th showdown between unified light heavyweight champion, Sergey Kovalev and Andre Ward, at the Target Terrace at LA Live, instead became a rather bizarre scene where it was revealed that the two promotional sides (Main Events and Roc Nation Sports) still have not agreed to all the terms - most notably the venue for this fight.


                Sorry but that's his promoter. Also his history of diva tactics & pulling out of fights. All add to the mix.. First presser & he is a no show too! Yet boxing fans questioning the fight are the problem? One guy just said on here it didn't even have a banner at the presser in defense of Ward LMAO

                    Right so lets just be clear.. Take into account:

                    Duva expressing doubt:

                    What was supposed to be the formal announcement of the November 19th showdown between unified light heavyweight champion, Sergey Kovalev and Andre Ward, at the Target Terrace at LA Live, instead became a rather bizarre scene where it was revealed that the two promotional sides (Main Events and Roc Nation Sports) still have not agreed to all the terms - most notably the venue for this fight.

                    I am being unreasonable taking all that into account? Really?

                    Thus far you have pointed out that the presser didn't have a banner at the presser in defense of Ward & told me to make Brook thread LMAO at u clowns..

                      Explain to me why that post you directly quoted supposedly exposed me? Your answer is there.. Maybe not directly but you jumped on the GGG quote.
