    Isn't that a fabricated quote or something like that?

    Ward said in the video that the split was 50-50.

    Was it proven to be fabricated? I know GGG and his team has said it doesnt make any sense, but I've also seen interviews of Loeffler/GGG trashing Ward and saying they want the fight.

    Can you look through my posts and tell me where you came to the conclusion im a ggg fan?

    I saw this video earlier today and it does look like ward is a special needs child who's mother dressed him

    50-50 isn't realistic given wards drawing power

    If that's the case why didn't ward give smith 50-50

    I'm pretty sure they responded to the article saying it wasn't a real quote or something like that, I can't be bothered to check but I definitely do remember that.

    The only time I've really heard them say they want the fight is when they "called out" Ward at 164, and it was an obvious deflection, not a serious call out.

    Then negotiate the terms. They turned it down in 5 mins, and clearly had no intentions of negotiating. Also when Ward is on a big boxing channel like HBO he pulls more numbers than GGG. He did 1.3m against a nobody like Rodriguez in his last fight on HBO, while GGG did 1m-1.1m against Monroe.

    Go look at their past 5 fights, and compare the numbers. Also apparently Chavez jr is the A side, but he pulled 600k in his last 2 fights. Why is GGG willing to go up for him? :lol:

    It's an offer open to negotiation. I doubt Ward said 50-50, take it or leave it.

    :lol: I wonder why Xellos kept using that to try and back his argument up. Well, I guess we have nothing left to argue about on this matter since you think GGG wants nothing to do with Ward, which is what I've been trying to say since GGG called Ward out.

    I'm still waiting for excuses why he won't fight a serious guy from 175. I'm ok if he takes Pascal/Hopkins/Bute as a tune-up to adjust the weight then go for Kovalev/Stevenson/Beterbiev. But he'll be fighting Dunn and his fans will defend him, cause he beaten Calzaghe leftovers when the color tv was invented

    why is it a joke? GGG said he'll fight anyone from 154-168. he's also the one that asked for 50/50 ward said he complied to all of GGG's terms.

    Why is that a joke? Golovkin offered to fight Froch and Chavez at 168. Didn't he say he would fight anyone from 154 to 168?
