froch - golovkin is the bigger fight.
UK money > regular HBO money.
they'd nee dto be on hbo ppv, and sell like crazy.
for comparison, martinez and chavez jr were paid 1.5 and 3 million a piece to fight on a small HBO ppv.
froch himself made more than that fighting in wembley.
you pay taxes out the ass in the UK, but it still appears that froch netted a hell of a lot more because of UK gate and TV money.

rodriguez made a lot of money fighting ward.
it's not that ward isn't a draw. that's a defense technique that the brits use to deal with their feelings of inadequacy.
ward's a good draw. draws well in oakland. draws a good amount of viewers on TV.
froch is just a better draw. floyd is a much better draw.
they're also much, much easier fights. floyd is a welterweight. froch is slow, and was almost out against george groves.
ward is a terrific boxer with a great chin and with a natural size advantage. when golovkin gets close enough to work, ward's going to use his tricks and either move all the way back out, or walk him to the ropes and work inside.
you guys just don't understand boxing, which is fine. sometimes, you have to stop talking and learn something.

Well now that we got that out of the way (GGG is ducking Ward)
Why doesn't Ward go after Kovalev then? Why don't Ward fans ever mention Kovalev?
Where are the Ward/Kovalev posts from the same people that want Ward/GGG?
Kovalev has mentioned Ward plenty of times, Kovalev's trainer has said Kovalev would KO Ward, Kathy Duva wants a Kovalev/Ward fight.
Ward's next fight is at 172, so weight isn't a problem. Kovalev would fight Ward in the back yard of Ward's house, so the venue isn't a problem, Duva wants to make the fight happen, so promotional issues isn't a problem and both fight for HBO, so tv networks aren't a problem.
How about it Ward fans? Where's the demand for this fight?
I'll tell ya'll why, Ward fans know Kovalev would **** up Ward bad. It would be a one sided ass whipping. Whenever Kovalev gets brought up Ward and his fans go into hiding and act like they can't pronounce "Kovalev" or act like Kovalev is a Heavyweight and Ward is a Featherweight.

Golovkin isn't with Top Rank so I'm sure his promoter will be willing to work with Haymon for a bought on NBC on PBC. Great exposure for the Mexican-style brawler. Unless of course, they don't think GGG could hang with a real MW who might actually be bigger than him? Hmmmmm.
This is a dude that dropped his strap and turned down a career high payday because he would'nt fight Korobov.
This is a guy that could'nt even make weight in his last fight.

But I guess you really do not follow what is happening in boxing because if you did, you would be aware that Golovkin has an exclusive contract with HBO and could not fight on PBC. As for Quillin, he would not last three rounds against GGG. May not even last one. Unless GGG decides to carry him for a few.
