    I see where you're coming from Rummy. It's worth noting that purses are agreed upon prior to the ratings and gate being released, so it's impossible for a return to be measured before those numbers come back. The purse disparity between Ward and GGG actually makes this tougher to make because there is a popularity and momentum disparity right now in the other direction.

    High purses (Andre had a very generous guaranteed purse fight in fight out, which didn't make matchmaking easier by any stretch) for ratings and live draw totals less to the lesser paid fighter speaks more to an unsustainable situation- either Andre will ultimately need to accept less to balance the scales, GGG will need to make more, or there needs to be more money available to pay both.

    There's no fear here from either party, just economics at work. That's why this fight won't happen unless it's on PPV without concessions made from each.

    No way this fight should be at 164. If he was willing to fight Froch and Chavez Jr both of which are bigger than Ward then he can fight Ward at 168 to. His team always has said 154-168.

    Ward should fight Kovalev since he started At 175 and just recently fought at 172 :deal



    It's not rocket science to know Chavez and froch draw more than Ward so of course GGG has to bow down to them and there weight options

    Kovalev has recently said he'd welcome a Ward fight in a heartbeat but Ward doesn't seem to like fighting guys his own size that's A level :deal

    Where's the money coming from? There's no way GGG is going to 168 for short money against a fighter he's more popular than, and Andre isn't in the business of taking pay cuts.

    This fight at 168 is a pipe dream without PPV.

    And there it is folks.

    Bum-love-kin is a DISGRACE. He'll fight Baby Chavez and Froch @ the 168lb limit but not Ward?


    WTF???


    Now watch as the Triple Duck nut guzzlers try to make sense of the BS 164lb catch weight...

    Ward started off at 160. Why are to so afraid for GGG's saftey against Ward?

    Because Chavez and froch pack out arenas and are the A side over GGG and Ward isn't :deal




    Psssst.. GGG is like 5'9 5'10 he's not even a big middleweight I think 164 is fair

    Froch and Chavez have more selling power so they can make more demands duhhhhhhhh.....



    If Ward wants it 164 is fair if not he should fight sergey
