Comments Thread For: Team Golovkin Will Want More Than 50% From Ward

[////]

between being the more famous fighter and moving up for the fight for it to make any sense golovkin should get at least 75%

hopefully they tell ward he can fight for free (his payment is the exposure)

ward should receive no financial rewards for ducking guys his size to fight tiny guys

[UNBIASED BOXING]

what ward managed to do is shatter that boogeyman image they were building around golovkin.. that sht is no more. before all this, they were screaming for anyone from 154-168, now they're very comfortable staying at 160 lol.. when golovkin's people turned down hopkins and said they'll consider it "in the future" that showed me everything about the little g fraud. .but for some reason when little g does it, its not called "ducking", why is that. these golovstains are hiding their boy behind kovalev, its pathetic. boogeyman don't need no body guard

Yeah, GGG is such a coward. Won't even fight an older man who happens to be a light heavyweight.

Ward is also such a ***** because he won't fight Wilder.

Wow! Over 200 posts mainly from Ward fans trying to justify why their hero is trying to fight a much smaller man. I would be embarrassed to be a fan of a fighter who is afraid to fight a quality opponent in his own division. But these same people dumped all over GGG for daring to challenge Mayweather at 154 and be willing to actually drop DOWN in weight to fight him in his own division.

time for Ward to fight a quality fighter his own size for a change. No catchweights, no bums like Paul Smith. I will even give him a bit of a pass and let him take on Martin Murray, someone Golovkin already beat. But unfortunately for Ward, he would have to leave the US to do that so we know that that idea is a non starter.

Whatever way you look at it, it is time for Ward to get on with his career and stop waiting for a middleweight to move up and fight him.

What does K2 have to do with it? How about Ward get up off his ass and back in the ring against quality opponents to build his name back up? How about Ward challenges the other title holders at SMW and tries to unify those titles while GGG unifies MW? Why doesn't Ward do something to deserve the fight instead of depending on wins from FOUR YEARS AGO?

People love to blame K2 and GGG, but what has Ward done to deserve this fight? NOT A DAMN THING.

You are speaking far too much logic for these cats to understand. Your reasoning based arguments will have them spinning and bending into pretzels trying to figure out a riposte.

They will resort into name calling soon.

So wait ... on all the promotional posters its DLH vs Hopkins. DLH makes 3 times as much money as Hopkins. Yet because on the telecast its Hopkins vs DLH that means Hopkins is the A side.

Amigo - you have a doctorate in reaching but are a dunce when it comes to deductive reasoning.

Deductive reasoning is highly liking here.

Despite winning the Super 6, inactivity and recent B-grade opponents have hurt Ward's stock.

Ward must re-assert himself with quality fights at SM. Without this prep work, he has little leverage when dealing with Team Golovkin.

GGG lacks a deep resume, but he's a fan favorite whose popularity stems from a ring style that ALL DAY outsells .

Right, Ward fights are boring. He just doesn't have the base to make demands,

So is Ward actually trying to bring his market value up by fighting someone like DeGale, Badou Jack or moves up and fights a decent LHW?

Guy is extremely unpopular even in america, when he is shown during a fight he usually gets booed by the audience.

Funny thing is that people here act like they are his fans, yet no one buys tickets or watches him on TV, ya'll seem like a bunch of liars and pretenders to me.

And why would anyone buy his fights, a hug fest with the bigger Ward hugging a smaller opponent.

Why does money, who brings this to the table or being booed matter to ***ing fans? Boxing fans are turning into promoters to protect they favorite fighters now adays, it's simple ward is best fight for Golovikin and pretty easy to make, but y'all worrying about finances repeating what his handlers are saying to avoid fight from happening

You do hear how dumb you sound why would he agree to 164 when the guy signed a contract to fight Chavez at 168 and was chasing a froch fight up until froch announced retirement in July-august, 164 was a ploy and you guys still eating it up

Signed at 168, come on.

First, the Froch/Chavez deal came before GGG made this PPV, and got the mandatory for Cotto/Canelo.

Two, Ward isn't a 168 fighter. He walks around at 180, and rehydrates to 185-190. GGG is smart for want to even the odds with Ward, especially since dude hugs all night. Ward will use his size, weight, and reach advantage to try to hold GGG all night.

GGG isn't gonna take that risk unless it makes them some cash.

That is as simple as it gets.

[b00g13man]

Believe me. Neither Cotto or Canelo would want GGG right away, win or lose on their respective fights. Won't happen next year.

I want Ward vs GGG next year. Make it happen, Ward.

Maybe you should try telling Team GGG that.

They also turned down Ward's offer rather than make a counter, so I ask you again....What is Ward supposed to be countering here?

[Progrssive_Jedi]

and who in their right mind would accept financial terms right now for a fight that is at LEAST 12-18 months away, at the earliest?

Remember, the offer conveniently came AFTER GGG-Lemieux was announced, and then GGG likely has Cotto-Canelo winner next, and then Lee to unify. So on what planet would anyone accept a 50-50 split not knowing the actual economics of a fight that is a year and a half away?

makes no sense, and Loeffler would have been an idiot to accept.....

The post I was responded to implied that GGG's team had made an offer when all they've done is talked **** to the media for years.

It also implied that Ward hadn't done anything to make the fight happen when he's the only one who has made an official offer.

Ward fans just hate GGG, they don't need logic of reasoning, the just need hyperbole and ad hominems.


See above post, Ward's offer was to shelf GGG for a year while Ward takes tune up fights. Ward's offer not only came after the PPV was good to go, he didn't even offer to fight, it was an offer to fight next fall

If GGG made that same offer, the haters would him. Come on.

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Ward fandom double standard.

Maybe you should try telling Team GGG that.

Wards offer was to fight next fall. It wasn't an offer, it was a PR stunt.

And Cotto/Canelo, they can duck, but they will be vacating them belt. GGG will be getting the belt anyways. Then he has Lee, and he will have unified the division.

Then GGG could take whatever fight he feels like, what makes him the most money for his family.

That's what Ward is saying about Moving up to LHW, that he'll do what's best for his family.

But noooo, GGG shouldn't do that.

[Eff Pandas]

You "fight for glory" instead of "fight for money" fans have silly expectations. Why don't you go mop the floor for glory instead of money. Why do boxers gotta be all noble & ****? Its a silly ass unrealistic expectation put upon boxers by people who've never been hit in the head in most cases.

That said ABSOLUTELY GGG should be getting more than 50/50...right now let alone once he gots PPV numbers on his scoreboard & Ward doesn't. Right now GGG is seen as valuable enough to throw into a PPV fight & is getting a mill+ people watching his fights on HBO & Ward is fighting on BET for 300k or w/e number of fans. Thats where things stand even before GGG officially enters the PPV world. If you don't think GGG deserves more money I got some lakefront property on Mars I'd like to sell your momo ass.

Stunt? How? Why?

GGG
"
Mayweather fight is my dream fight I will drop down to 154 for,that fight "


Funny yet GGG is the smaller man when it comes to Ward

"I'll fight anyone from 154 -168 "

GGG


Ward

“He’ll go to 168 against everybody but me,” Ward said in frustration. “The fact that the fans and the media don’t call him out on it, it’s mind-blowing. And I’m not making this up. You wanna fight (Julio Cesar) Chavez, the Chavez fight is getting close to being made, something happens, it doesn’t get made, and then all of a sudden, you know ‘Ward’s not a pay-per-view fighter.’


GGG hypocrisy right here !!
