    Andre Ward getting his alleged $5m didn't scuttle the biggest fight that could be made for him. The same can't be said for Golovkin
    You ask for more than $1.5 million you just gave K2 a heart attack!!! And your DUCKING! No matter how good you are.

    His fans already blatantly admit all they care about is seeing GGG fight. No matter how many cans they throw in the shopping cart sorry I mean ring.

      If Haymon had done what Roc did for Ward, and guaranteed Danny $5million for fighting GGG, it would be happening this Dec!

      GGG isn't expecting anything like $5million for fighting Jacobs, and you know it. If that fight doesn't happen it will be because of Danny's unrealistic demands, not GGG's.

        But taking $10,000,000 and Ko'ing Canelo in front of probably 80,000 Fans (If in Dallas) would do WONDERS for his career.
        Even if GGG had accepted Oscar's offer, Canelo wouldn't be fighting him till Sept 2017. That's more than enough time to negotiate a deal, which is what they're trying to do now.

          Ward had his chance to fight GGG immediately back in 2013, but he wasn't ready, for whatever reason. Time to let that one drop.
          It is time because unlike GGG, Ward has a major fight next week! There's no need to talk about who made the wrong decision. I present to the court Exhibit A: Ward will be fighting the guy he pursued: Kovalev. GGG is struggling to negotiate a fight with Danny Jacobs. I rest my case!

            Well that's very sad for GGG, because it seems his team is not equipped to do for GGG what TR has done for Pacquiao, or what GBP has done for Canelo, or what Haymon has done for Mayweather, or what Roc Nation has done for Ward and Cotto. Hasn't K2 done well for Klitschko? This is a honest question to you because you seem to know more than I do about fighters outside the U.S. Is K2 treating GGG the same as they do Klitschko?
            I know that K2 in the US is linked to the Klit bros European company, but I believe it's a seperate entity financially, and isn't funded by the mother company.

            K2 in Europe IS the Klit bros. They set up the company to promote their own shows and make money for themselves.

                It amazes me how small the PPV numbers are in America. 400,000 buys is quite poor for a country of that size. It must be the emergence of kodi and other online streaming sites. I believe it's also very expensive compared to British PPV. I for one can't wait for this fight.

                  Ok, but I'm not sure what your case is!

                  My case is ... I have no problem with Ward being paid more than Krusher for their fight, because it's his own promoter who has guaranteed him $5million, not Duva or HBO, so it won't affect Kovalev's cut at all.

                  If Haymon had done the same thing for Danny, he would be fighting GGG on Dec 10th. And yeah, if Loeffler had done the same thing for GGG, again, the fight would be on.

                    The fight is mandated, with the purse bid in place to handle things if the money in negotiations is so outlandish. If K2 doesn't want to put up the money, let it go to bid and have some other outfit put up the money.

                    Or simply give up the belt; argue that the WBA has put a structure in place that doesn't allow for the fight to be made on K2's terms, so that you can line up the next can fr Golovkin's fans to watch him knock over.

                      Nobody hates their in any sport but Americans.
                      ward is sympathetic to *** and might kneel in the ring if they do the anthem so to me he aint an American. ***** is more American then ward. ward aint worth all that money barely has a tiny fan base and will try to butt and clinch his way thru the fight
