    Kovalev vs. Ward hit a major snag two weeks ago. Duva herself even said she didn't know if they'll have a fight at all. Negotiations are tough. You just gotta keep hammering away.

      K2 was not involved in the negotiations

Main Events had to work hard to get Kovalev vs. Ward made. Golden Boy had to work hard to get Cotto vs. Canelo made. I don't know why you're getting so upset. I'm blaming Loeffler not GGG. I said I believe GGG will fight anyone they put in front of him. Him fighting Brook is proof of that
        You don't get it... you don't know the amount of work Loeffler puts into negotiations. Most people just don't wanna fight him. When people that can't even sell in their hometown and have bad ratings ask for millions you know they are ****ing scared. When they even said they don't want the fight yet, you know they are ****ing scared. When they say stuff like he's gonna beat me and you on the same night, you know they are scared.

        You are not showing a point. What's the point you have? explain exactly, you don't have one, you just compare totally different situations to make a point.

        you completely ignored that GGG is not making any diva demands and that he's given a lot of concessions already.

        And guess what? GGG vs Brook will be a big PPV. It will sell well.

          The logic seems a little flawed to me. Rather than blame the one being difficult to work with, we should blame the other guy for not bending over backwards? Thats like blaming GGG for Canelo not wanting to fight, for Saunders, for Jacobs, for Eubank not wanting to fight. Loeffler had no problem working with Oscar to get the Lemieux fight done, had no problem working with Al Haymon to get Wade done in 2 weeks, had no problem working with Hearn in getting Brook done (once Eubank was being difficult with Hearn, not Leoffler). I think its faulty to say that Loeffler should have bent over more for Roc Nation, who admittedly are difficult to negotiate with, rather than blame the problem itself

              He's about to fight for his highest payday and PPV event in two weeks, and who knows which bigger fights comes after that.

              He's already made millions off boxing. More than Jacobs, BJS, and all those *******.

                That's why I said why didn't he tell Hearn to continue trying or go elsewhere? They had a plan B. This is a video of Loeffler saying they always have a plan B when negotiating GGG's fights. So why didn't they go with plan B? What was their plan B?

                  It's a great business fight. Not a great fight. Kovalev vs. Ward is a great fight, a big fight, and both guys will make a lot of money.

                      I've always known it was his promoter. Nobody ever looks at him, and he's the one pulling all the strings. If GGG was smart, he'd ditch this bum
