As a Ward fan it's hard to watch that interview. Deluded is unfortunately the right word to describe his view of the situation. He isn't going to draw as much as Froch/Groves 2 if he fights in the UK, why would he, he has no proven drawing power there. The way he talks he seems to believe he is just a big a draw in the US as Froch is in the UK and the reason he isn't paid as much is that people are trying to trick him into the fact he isn't a big draw. But look at his last fight against Rodriguez, he drew just over 7000 and they gave away 1200 comp tickets to fill out the hall. But all of this to him is just a conspiracy against him, his promoters are lying to him, the TV networks are lying to him, he's actually a big draw but people don't want him to realise this, don't want him to know his real worth. His technique reminds me a lot of Hopkins in it's text book flawlessness but he also seems to have gained Hopkins sense of paranoia, that nobody can be trusted that they are trying to cheat him by lying about his actual drawing power.

I think we see Froch-Golovkin before we see Ward fight either guy. Marketing a Ward fight in the US needs that boost to make decent money.
He says int he article Bob and Froch would have no problem talk the fight if it were PPV there and Here. GGG has a following and with the right opponent ( Froch) it would work. In the article he is just not stati his opinion but insight on how Froch feels who talks to him on a weekly basis. Froch has said he is still interested in the fight. He wants big fights he says their the only ones he is can get up for and GGG can be big.
If your thinking Froch is not as durable as MM your out of your mind. Froch is a hundred leagues above MM. Abe has a iron chin and Frochs jab was noticeably bothering him when thrown it's a whole different world at SMW in terms of power and durability.
Its been Months since I heard any real Juice on Ward - Froch.. looks like this one if it happens is going to England..
No way should ward fight in robbingham .....it would be a sham just like the dirrell fight.....fight anywhere else in the world
I'm not sure about the 15 months I thought that the Rodriguez fight was just an exhibition since he didn't make weight? It has been 3 years since he faced a SMW contender in Froch hasn't it?
