1) the FIRST offer from Roc Nation.....
“It’s not Triple G no more, it’s Little G. Little G turned down an official fight with us.... I don’t know, about a month ago – and now it's Little G. I just don’t talk about this stuff a lot. I'm enjoying my summer. The reality is, for all the talk, for all the websites that the trainer and promoter went off on, for all the radio, for all that they said - the proof is in the pudding," Ward told BBC Sport.
"I have an email right now that shows that we gave him what he wanted, we gave him 50-50, these are the terms, these are the conditions, and the promoter turned it down and said ‘maybe in 2017.’ So from now on it’s Little G.....
He wanted 50-50 and I said give it to him. I'm not going to argue about ten percent, give it to him. My lawyer sent back 'they turned it down in five minutes.'"
"If the shoe was on the foot, and I said that I was going to 175 and I was not going to touch Kovalev - I'll fight this guy and that guy, but if I fight Kovalev he's got to come to 170 or 172 - can you imagine what the headlines would be? And if my manager and my promoter were talking like they talk, can you imagine what the headlines would be? I don't want to talk about the guy anymore, I wish nothing but the best, but I think they hoodwinked the fans and I don't think that's right."
2) the SECOND offer from Roc Nation.....
"The split would have been a secondary issue behind making the fight and having a desire in making the fight. If they had responded to the email and said 'listen, let's sit down, let's negotiate and let's see if we can come to terms' - then that's a different story. We didn't have the opportunity to talk a split, we didn't have the opportunity to talk about who was the B or the A-side. We didn't have the opportunity talk about any details. To come out and say who would be the A-side and talk about splits, the reality was - they said 'no' in 36 minutes.".....
glad we finally got that sorted
nobody has ever asked those questions before
