Can't wait for those lucrative showdowns between ward and bellend, or ward and chickenson I'm sure ward will make them happen in the other guys backyard where the bouts actually make sense financially
If Roc Nation CARED Enough to RIG the Fight for Ward, Why DIDN'T They Invest Time/Effort in Actually PROMOTING the Fight???... 1. Fighter IS NOT a Draw 2. Promoter of Record Does a PISS POOR Job of Actually "Promoting" the Fight. Incentive???... REEDo_O
Roc Nation isn't built for the boxing game. PLUS, Jay's new album came out last week.... so you KNOW that was the main focus at the company. Ward's fight was probably their LEAST concern.
Let's also just pretend that the nsac never refused to look at replays of the ko, even if the kovy camp asked them to do so, and the rules permit it. Incompetence
Fuuuuurther Proof of what an Undeniable DRAW Andre Ward Is... Ward-Kovalev Rematch: Paid Attendance Was Only 6,366 - Boxing News Ward-Kovalev II Did "About" 130,000 PPV Buys and the Live Gate was LESS than 6,500 IN VEGAS!!!... Yep, Forbes NAILED It, Putting Ward Top 5 on their Projected Earners List... REED
wald pussy is a bigger earner than ward. golovkin, alvarez, pacquiao, joshua, brook, khan, crawford, wilder. all these guys are bigger earners than ward
this have no bearing on how a Bellew, GGG or Stevenson fight would do. Ward is not a big seller by himself, but against any of these guys, huge money would be involved. Absurd that you are arguing against this
ward vs bellend is a huge money fight now? you think ward is going to england or canadia to fight these guys?
What's "Absurd" is How You Continue to Cling to the FAULTY Ass Premise of Ward Being a Draw... He ISN'T... Forbes' Projection is Based on Ward's PAST and PRESENT, Which Means it's Based on NATHAN, as Ward has NEVER Been a Draw and WILL NEVER Be a Draw... The Foundation of their Projection is WEAKER than a House Constructed on a Mud Hill... REED
read more carefully. The rankings are also based on potetial bouts and opponents, and Ward has a lot of lucratives one looming. And again you're strawmanning my argument. I'm not claiming ward is a popular fighter, what I'm saying is that first of all, much less popular fighters than Ward were the beneficiary of corruption, and secondly, Ward has the possibility to be involved in multiple highly lucratives matches in the next few years, so it is beyond imbecilistic to think that they were no incentives for his promoter to fix the dices in the Kovy fights
If enough money is put in front of him, he'll go. especially since his attendance in the US are dwindling. A similar thing happened to Bute, and he went to england to fight Froch, to the surprise of everyone.
