        Again, negotiating posturing is made too big a deal by some on NSB. Ward clearly seemed to be using the threat of retirement as negotiating leverage. Yes he needed to honr the rematch clause but the Kov boys got all pissed off because they weren't getting what they wanted when they wanted it.

        Had they applied the same reasoned logic they do when discussing other topics (anyone from 154-168 comes to mind) this wouldn't be such a big deal.
        You really let NSB have any influence on your views on things? Lol come on. This place is like a real life One flew over the cuckoo's nest - for every normal guy you get dozens of ******s lol.

        There was nothing to negotiate. You know it, I know it and so did Ward and his people.

          Because it's posturing to get an extra few bucks out of the deal. In the 90s we wouldn't have even known that these things were going on behind the scenes.

            There is always something to negotiate before a fight, especially if you are the winner and the next fight is a rematch.

                Kinda late for April fools. He isn't going to rematch just like he ducked kolv in the first negotiations. I'll believe this when brook signs to fight spence. PERIOD

                  Not really it is called NEGOTIATIONS!

                  Regardless, Fight Is Done Now!

                      Good news. It'll be interesting to see if kovalev finds another way to deal with the inside game...trying to clinch it out didn't work so well down the stretch.
