well, now we know

There are rumors that there is a "tape" of the convos, so he cant deny they never took place or that they even talked money. He can only defend himself by saying they called me.

I think that's what Ward was hinting at with "there is a trail."

Regardless of who called who, the fact that he did say he would have jumped if they met his price says a lot about how unhappy he is.

yea thats the main point

interesting

Sent before the news of Golovkin-Lemieux was signed was revealed. I believe Loeffler said in an interview that the fight was signed 20 mins before they got the Ward offer, how was Ward to know it was signed?

Was irrelevant anyway, the offer was to have 1 fight before fighting. Golovkin still turned it down in minutes. He went on to fight Wade instead, close enough to Ward for Golovkin fans.

Ward Is complete trash for bringing this out In public and Jackson Isn't much better for attempting to jump ship In the middle of a training camp while being paid by Kovalev, very unprofessional.

Yeah, the offer was to have one fight before fighting each other. And Ward said that was so GGG could fight Lemieux first. But he also claimed not to know anything about Lemieux when he sent the offer! Ward relies on his fans being either too dumb to pick up on his lies or too cynical to care.

Ward didn't make it public.

He didn't know the fight was signed when he sent the offer, the whole world knew they were trying to make the fight. You're the dumb one it seems.

My mistake, I thought he did.

That whole world also knew that GGG was mandatory for the winner of Cotto/Canelo and wasn't going to move up from 160 for anybody.

Who is training Kovalev now?

Is it a Russian?
