Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: We Never Rejected 168 For Andre Ward!

[SplitSecond]

It's so ****ing easy to find. Why do they always lie? Lying just makes them look like they did duck.

Sanchez is a ******, all he talks is sht. As for the rest, who's lying? They never said they would never fight Ward at 168. Actually, wasn't the proposition was over 50% if Ward wants it at 168 (which Ward would never agree to being the diva that he is) or 164, 50/50.

why do you guys constantly quote Abel Sanchez as if he is the decision maker for the team?

Wait, never mind.........

July 8, 2015:

Promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions, who handle IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady "GGG" Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs), says a fight can certainly be worked out with WBA super middleweight king Andre Ward (28-0, 15 KOs).

But the deal would have to be under Golovkin's terms and not dictated by Ward. Loeffler feels Golovkin has surpassed Ward as a ticket seller and in terms of name recognition - making GGG the A-side of the negotiations...

The Ward fight is there, although it's unlikely Ward will agree to a weight of 164 and a 50-50 split.

“GGG is now clearly the ‘A’ side yet Ward still would want to dictate terms, which makes no sense,” Loeffler said to ESPN. “GGG would fight Ward on a 50-50 basis, the best 160-pounder versus the best 168-pounder [at] 164 [and] a 50-50 split on all proceeds. But it seems like Ward needs more tuneup fights.”

Now that's Sanchez and Loeffler! Is that good enough for you?

[just the facts]

And the truth comes out!!! And Reward OFFICALLY ducked GGG then got beat down by Kovalev. What a loser.

Wow two complete lies in one post!

[LetOutTheCage]

Do you realise amateur weight classes and professional weight classes are not the same?
SMW's will fall under the LHW category as there is no SMW division in Olympic boxing.
Shaun Porter was a MW as an amateur and has a win over Danny Jacobs.
Is Porter a professional middle weight?

So what you're saying is that he couldn't make 165 (The Olympic middleweight limit) at the age of 20 while other 168 pound fighters (Dirrell, Bute etc) had no problem doing so and are still trying to argue that Ward doesn't have a size advantage over GGG? Dummy

[just the facts]

Ward saying this was early 2016 is just another lie, knowing it hapoened in Kate summer of 2015.

Ward saying they said 2018 is just lame. What's funny, is they said 2017. Why isn't Ward pointing that out.

My guess is Ward knows he got beat by Kovalev. GGG would put a real hurting on him.

Even funnier, Loeffler is beating Ward on the ticket sales, knowing damn well GGG would put a hurting on Ward. In all due time. GGG should get the WBO, beat Jacobs scared a$$, and then maybe one 168 title and boom, on to Ward, who at that point will likely have been still coming up with reasons not to give Kov a rematch.

How much "in due time " does g string have? Kicking 35 in the arse and not one quality opponent yet and no concrete plan to fight one.

You do know Ward's career before the Olympics he fought at MW? You do know why he moved up to LHW for the Olympics..Please tell us you know why?
Hint: it had nothing to do with him not being able to make MW

yeah, the nerve of people actually trying to negotiate better terms for their fighter instead of just conceding every point to a guy who cant even sell out his hometown.......

That's not even the problem. These pansies just can't man up and admit that that's what they did. We all know they insisted on 164lbs, why are they acting like they didn't do that now?

Wait, never mind.........

Maybe because in the quote it says him and loeffler talked about 50/50? Let me know thought when loeffler says that convo never happen and that's all the trainer with catchweight talk......

Ward is done with that fight...triple V had his chance and he blew it, Ward just went on to win the lhw title whether you agree with the decision or not.
