Comments Thread For: Kovalev's Promoter: Ward's Side Not Responding, Deadlines Loom

[Ake-Dawg]

So June is when the rematch will take place. Hmmm since the majority of the details are contractually set, what's the fuss about. The same folks that were predicting a Ward loss and subsequently crying about Kovalev being robbed are now crying for the rematch. If you believe that Ward's style is boring and that the previous fight was a hug fest then why do you want to see a second fight? Don't be so desperate to see another man lose and stop being a crying twat that comes to NSB b*tching about everything in boxing that doesn't go your way.

Duva is just trying to negotiate through the media.

Ball is in Ward's court.

Andrea "Son of Gift" Coward will run forever from Killer Kov! If Kovalev would've been the American and Ward the Russian, Kovalev would've won 117:110 or 116:111 on all scorecards and nobody would even debate the outcome. Andrea should do everybody a favour and just retire. Nobody cares about his boring ass anyway.

[Mr. Luthor]

The same fanboys and haters that were on here screaming that Ward wouldn't fight Kovalev and then screaming that Ward couldn't beat Kovalev and then were crying after Ward beat Kovalev are now on here crying about Ward rematching or not rematching Kovalev even though Duva gave no real information, just like before the 1st fight, and they fell for it again.

Obviously you care.

There's nothing to negotiate, there's already a contract. The only question is whether Ward will honour it

What are the details of the rematch? What's the venue? What's the purse split? PPV or not?

[Motorcity Cobra]

Did Ward re-up with HBO? Is he trying to leverage a new deal with HBO?

Hope he retires if he gonna duck this fight, judges saved him last time he knows he cant count on that again.

I don't see why he can't count on this again. First time he played "This is American versus Russian" cold war card. The judges got the hint. Nothing changed. He can do it again. The danger lays in the fact that Kovalev might take it from judges hands.
