Comments Thread For: Callum Smith's Coach: Andre Ward Wants Silly Money To Return

[Bardamu]

Usyk-Ward is the best possible fight in boxing right now. It won't happen though. Neither one is a draw, neither one fills stadiums, neither one sells ppvs. If Ward was still fighting, it would be #1 p4p vs. #2 p4p. But Ward went through three years of inactivity when he was at his prime $$$ making and retired again after taking Kovalev's soul. Usyk is from Eastern Europe and is in a division most don't even know exists.

As for this Callum Smith, he is not viewed as a p4p fighter by anyone. He is unknown in the states. Basically, Smith would make a good tune-up for Ward to shake off the rust if he returns. Callum has a better chance at getting a fight with Canelo.

As undisputed champion Usyk deserves a 70-30% purse split which the so called SOG couldn't live with, so the only way that fight happens is with a 50% split in Oakland. As for Smith, Ward would possibly want a catch-weight limit which no one wants. "Best for the sport if Ward stays retired"!
