Ward eat like a horse just to make 165 in the Olympics.
He even had fights at 160 during his early years as a professional.

Originally posted by Cutthroat View PostWard walks around 180, lil g weighed in at 172 during his 30 day weigh in for Murray after months of training camp. He's not a small guy, he's a natural light heavy.
Does that look like he's making 160 easily? He cheeks sunken in, looks lethargic, he's drained. He's shedding up to 15lbs+ just to make weight.
You fanboys buy his BS over and over again.
-Too small to move up for Ward, too big to move down for Nelo
-Ward sends him a contract to fight at 168, 50/50 split, which you claim he can't make, to which lil g immediately turns it down. "Ward a psychic doe he can read lil g's teams minds"
-At the end of the day Ward just dethroned Kovalev, Golovkin is fighting blown up welters that aren't even p4p quality lmao!I cant take fanboys like you seriously

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostNo I don't believe in the ducking GGG myth. He was swerved by by Cotto and Canelo for the same reasons he swerved Ward. There's no money in fighting him. He can't even pay his opponents more than $1.5 mil but if you listen to Loeffler he's the biggest draw out there besides Canelo. If you heard a fighter has sold out on both coasts and international, you'd think that fighter is a star that can afford to pay his opponents good money. They made more money fighting each other. And now he's saying $10 mil is a low ball?!?!? It's double what he's ever been paid PLUS the reward is huge!! Canelo is doubling his PPV's fighting no names. If you're saying $10 mil is a lowball I expect you to be able to pay your opponents $3 mil and yourself $5mil but he can't even do that. He's relying on other fighters to get a payday but let Loeffler tell it he's the best thing since sliced bread.
The problem with paying guys like Jacobs 3 million is because not even Canelo would pay a guy like Jacobs 3 million. Angulo got 750k, Kirkland 1.3m, Lara 1m. Jacobs is asking for money his ass can't cash. Kovalev didn't get 3 mil vs Andre Ward, Lomachenko vs Walters, neither made 3 mil, who the *** is Danny Jacobs to demand more than any of those guys? A nobody, that gets overpaid by Haymon, and now you want the norm to be paying these nobodies like Jacobs 3+ mil to fight.Last edited by SplitSecond; 11-30-2016, 04:42 AM.

Originally posted by SplitSecond View PostThere obviously is money in fighting him, Canelo has no excuse in regards to attractions because it would be a massive fight, you're kidding yourself. Ward is peanuts for facing a bigger guy, try thinking logically instead of with a bias of "I hate Golovkin, whatever he does is wrong"

Jacobs asked for 40%, and would likely accept 35%

One camp moved up fought a big LHW, the other camp rushed WW up in 2 months and still looked suspect. Who would you believe?

Originally posted by SplitSecond View PostHoly crap you're ******ed. The fight wasn't sensible. Loeffler turned down the offer to fight Ward because by then they had a contractual mandatory for the Canelo-Cotto winner after Lemiuex (this has been said millions of times at this point).
How could one fault them there? Again, turning down the fight all together is not turning down the terms. Also if what Golovkin and Loeffler were saying about Ward turning down a fight in 2013 wasn't true then you best believe Ward would jump on that being the kind of person that he is. Also Roc Nation wasn't with Ward in 2013.
