So GGG turned down $5+ mil & 50/50 PPV split to face Ward.

[Motorcity Cobra]

Ward is getting $5 mil for his fight against Kovalev. He offered GGG a 50/50 split. Ward v. GGG would've been a bigger fight commercially than Ward vs Kovalev so their purses would've been closer to $7mil & the PPV 50/50 split. By far the most profitable fight for GGG to date. Turning down $10 mil & $5+ mil plus 50/50 PPV upside this guy is going to be fighting into his 50's trying to make a good payday

And before you start with the 'Ward can't make 168' remember, Ward has never missed weight & was 173.5 two weeks out from his fight with Smith. Ward has always been a professional when it comes to weight & if he would've missed weight there would've been a severe financial penalty.

What do you expect from a guy that stayed in the amateurs forever and turned down 10 million to fight a p*ssy.

[BEEHOP]

Ward would win every round

My gosh aren't people tired of this GGG or his opponent turned down so & so amount $$$ threads?? They are so dull & boring. Get a life..

Can't wait for the day GGG is gone out of this sport. Both the fanbase and the haters are annoying af.

Ward is getting 5M from his promoter, Roc Nation. Most likely Roc Nation will take a loss on this fight (as they seem to always do), unless it exceeds realistic expectations. Kovalev seems to have a different deal. Some of you are so obsessed with Golovkin that you have to bring him into everything.

This fight has nothing to do with Golovkin. Get a life.

[Lester Tutor]

good stuff Cobra. don't scare the kids.

[NaijaD]

We are days away from Ward vs Kovalev..... there's no need to talk about Golovkin. It's all in the past, let Golovkin worry about his money, if he is worried even. The Brook fight was a good pay day.

Lying again Lmao!

Lying again Lmao!

Loeffler said the email from an official of Ward’s promoter, Roc Nation Sports, extends a 50/50 purse-split offer to fight in 2016 after each fighter took one fight earlier in the year.
