Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Ward: Promoter Doesn't See Financial Sense

[Jcsuper]

Ward said he'd beat Klitschko. But he wont even move up and face a Kovalev. I can't even imagine the ridicule GGG would get if he said he could beat Klitschko, but to you Ward pseudo fans, it's acceptable.

BTW your own sig has "154-168 Gennady "GGG" Golovkin". Isnt Ward a 168lbs fighter ? I think you should change it to "154-160 Gennady "GGG" Golovkin" if you want it to be coherent with your agenda.

This site is ****1ing ******ed. As long as you get kos youll be the most feared fighter in the history of boxing. Doesnt matter if you say that another fighter is too much for you and you wont fight him, when youre supposely the most feared fighter from 154 to 168 lbs

At the end of the day, it's all opinion. People are just being fans, and I personally think it's good for the sport. I think GGG is the real deal. If GGG isn't the real deal, then he'll lose or look bad, and all of his fans will betray him for the next flavor of the month like they do Floyd Mayweather opponents. That trend didn't start with GGG, nor did it start on this site. If a guy isn't willing to have an intelligent discussion with you, or is saying things you can't deal with, click the ignore button bro. It's nothing to get riled up over.

That's actually not what he said. He basically said that he intends to move up after there's nothing left at SMW, but he has potential action with several fighters at 168 that will make him a lot of money. GGG if he chooses to move up at some point, rematches with Kessler and Froch, and Chavez Jr. The first thing he did was win titles and fight the best. He gets decent paychecks on HBO, but I'm not adverse to him getting a big payday, seeing that he's the man at 168 and P4P #2. Admittedly though, much of why he doesn't get those paydays is his own fault

GGG has not declared anyone afraid of him, but Abel Sanchez and the gang certainly has, and that's how many boxing fans worldwide view him. Sanchez has stated more than once that nobody at 154-168 will face GGG, and have built in excuses for why they wouldn't. The same excuses that his team use on a regular basis for not fighting SOG.

"If I win the tournament and beat Bute, it would be everything I could achieve [at that weight]. Therefore, in the future I do intend to move up. I want to win titles and face the best."

That quote is from 05/11/2011, and here we are on 07/27/2014 and Andre Ward is still at 168. I shouldn't have to mention to you that a lot of things change over a 3 year period, such as the potential mega money matches with the guys I listed above. It's not nitpicking, it's being realistic. If a guy doesn't follow through with something over 36 months after saying it, you should expect that it's not gonna happen, and not even bother posting something that old as evidence. I COULD nitpick, but I'm not gonna, because this is actually a good discussion, which I don't get much here lol.

The tournament, organized by Showtime, gave me the opportunity to fight the best fighters in my category, and after its completion there won't be anything for me at this weight

It's not very ambiguous, someone tell him Bute already moved up to 175.

Since the tournament he's fought a 175er who came down a full division, and no name Edwin Rodriguez who at the time also competed at LHW. Froch, Kessler rematches can easily be construed as cherrypicks given how the first fights went. Then again, neither of these guys intend to fight Ward outside of their hometown, something Ward doesn't seem to be agreeable to, at all. I guess it's the emergence of Sartison and Kashtanov that's keeping him at 168.

Either way, i don't care what Ward said. The important thing is, he never came up with an offer, much less very attractive one like Top Rank did when trying to match GGG vs Chavez on PPV.

ward is the most overated fighter of all time PADDED ass record and he usto get worked by nobodies with more losses than wins coming up , and he is STILL scared to fight a real champ.

This topic has gotten so tired, why are some fans having such a hard time letting this match-up go? Ward and GGG fight in separate divisions. One is dealing with promotional issues, and the other is still in the brand-building process. This fight isn't considered to be a PPV attraction yet, and that's what both guys are looking for. One guy has pretty much cleaned out his division, while the other is still doing so. Both guys don't have trouble making their own respective weight class, so neither is willing to travel away from their weight. GGG has yet to prove himself at SMW, but is being asked to fight the best guy there. When GGG proves himself @168 and Ward is back to fighting, then we can return to the match-up.

lol everytime one of GGG's d1ckrider is trapped and has nothing to say they relay with that Klitschko's bull****. Everybody knows that fight aint realistic

Ward has said he wants to end his career at heavyweight

Bute also got destroyed by Froch at 168, so there's absolutely no reason to fight him at any weight.

Froch and Kessler are no doubt cherry picks, but considering his resume, I think he's entitled to one by now to make some decent money. His last 7 (EDIT: Put 6) opponents include all of the top guys at his weight, and 1 above his weight (though contested at 168). I fully believe that the best should fight the best, but the best should also be allowed to make some decent scratch. GGG, Kessler, Froch, and Chavez Jr. all provide that, and 3 of those 4 guys happen to be superb fighters.

As far as him not making an offer, he's sidelined with an injury, and going through a contractual dispute. As such, GGG's team shouldn't even be mentioning his name, and we probably shouldn't even be discussing this. The video I posted makes our debate meaningless anyway. GGG clearly said he's not going to be facing him anytime soon.
