Ward was willing to fight Floyd at 160 but not GGG

[MDPopescu]

Article features interview with Ward where he said he was willing to come down to 160 to fight Floyd, but as we all know he wasn't willing to come down to 160 to fight Golovkin. He claimed he would fight him at 164/5.

This should put the ducking debate to rest as it relates to GGG and Ward. Looking forward to the Ward fan excuses.

... Look bellow...

Would Golovkin have paid him the same as Floyd?? He had no interest in Floyd other than money, like everyone else. Same as Golovkin saying he'd go down in lb for Floyd but not Canelo.

September of last year Andre "Son of Judges" Ward declared that he offered GGG a 50/50 split on money and the catch weight and that they still turned him down. That claim is still being disputed by both parties.

Red Foxx's explanation was a cop out. Ward would have earned a career-high pay day fighting either one of them. Somehow he thought he was worth 50%, when GGG was filling arenas and GGG could barely put 8K asses in seats in his own home town.

"I'm not a dude that lies...I could literally pull that up right now...between Roc Nation and Tom Loeffler, the fight was offered 50/50...every detail was 50/50...the weight, everything...2017...they didn't want the fight...it shouldn't have took Kell Brook doing what he did to show people why they didn't want the fight," stated undefeated former world champion Andre Ward.

It's not on Youtube, Einstein, because IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. Ward *never* offered to fight the Triple Cheese Burger @ a catch weight. Period, end of story.

Please remove your head from your ass....

For years it was Ward fans claiming GGG was ducking. My thread and opening post poses a legit question to those doubters and haters, one that hasn't been answered sufficiently except to say that there was more money in fighting Floyd. Ok fine, more money, BUT, if you are willing to come down to 160 for Floyd money (which still would find Ward on the short end of that pay day), then you should be willing to come down to 160 for the MW champion of the world. Ward still would have earned his biggest pay day fighting GGG at 160. He just didn't want it.

Ward would have probably earned a bigger pay day rematching Froch in England, but his ego and his sense of entitlement got in the way. He's always felt he was far too important to concede anything to these "lesser" fighters. He's always believed he should be earning Mayweather money. Mayweather is the only fight he's been willing to concede to being the "B" side.

However the difference between a GGG pay day and a Mayweather pay day can be an entire magnitude if marketed right and the man is ****** enough to think he could drag Mayweather up to 168.

Ward isn't afraid of GGG anymore than GGG is of him. There's no doubt in my mind that both believe they can take the other but Ward's got his ego and GGG has a team carrying out the same reward / risk calculations almost everyone is doing these days.

The fact is once Cotto became middleweight champion the chance of GGG fighting Ward pretty much evapourated. GGG's team wouldn't jepardize a potential big money fight with Cotto / Alverez unless they could tip the scales in their favour by bringing Ward down and Ward has long proven himself not willing to concede anything for anything less than Mayweather money.
