    Aah, so Golovkin has excuses to duck Ward..... but, Ward doesnt have any excuses to duck Kovalev ?

      Canelo and GGG are roughly the same size on fight night. GGG was 170lbs on fight night vs Monroe Jr. Canelo is 170+ on fight night for fights at 155-159lb catchweights.
      Canelo is a MW draining himself for a weight advantage. GGG is a MW fighting at his natural weight.
      If the Cotto-Canelo winner chooses to vacate rather than defend the Middleweight title vs GGG then that is as clear of a duck as you will see
      Holy **** this place is crazy lol
      Golovkin demanded a catchweight from Ward, and he justified that demand by saying that he was the A-side.

      So he will likely have to chew lettuce if he wants a Canelo payday.

      I think that Golovkin will refuse a catchweight request from the Cotto/Canelo winner knowing that they will be stripped, because he would prefer to trade-off that huge payday for an easier fight.

        Ward was basically 6'1 and a good sized SMW over five years ago; As of recent statements, Andre Ward is 6'1 and walking around at 180. He's got another 25-30lbs to go, and 7-10 years to do it.

        spin the rest of it however you want.

          He certainly has less:

          1. He's the more proven guy and according to most its a more competitive fight
          2. He last fought at 172
          3. His alternative to the HBO deal is BET, not Ppv unification. There's nothing to think about

            It will be announced soon according to Yormark.

            My guess is it will be a tuneup..... 171 or less meaning that he will remain at SMW, and 172 or over meaning that he will be moving to LHW.

            Just a guess.

                Way to miss the point genius

                We are laughing at the mountain of excuses that Team 36-minutes used to duck Ward

                  Canelo - GGG would be for a MW title - thus no need for catch weight. + Canelo does not have any advantage in cutting weight since he is bigger than GGG. It would be harder task for Canelo than GGG.

                  On the other hand, is GGG-Ward a title fight? Thus if it is a non title bout than it is reasonable offer. What was the WARD answer for such "öffer"? Has he rejected it or not?

                    They're way better than whatever excuse Ward has for turning down Yunieski Gonzalez, moron or for needing multiple tuneups to face Kovalev

                      Not my problem that you cant understand math.

                      $440m on PPV, 50% to distributors, and ~7.5% to HBO/Showtime; ~$185m to Mayweather Promotions/Top Rank, of which Top Rank gets 40%.

                      ~$75m is Top Rank's entire share on the PPV.
