    Simple Arithmetic? Do you not mean simple Alphabet?

    Fighting on PPV vs fighting on BET?

    This was on Ward's Instagram. I guess his religious friends didn't like the name calling.

    3p39v Looking forward to the next fight, but As Christians we should be mindful of name calling or disrespecting of a persons name. He may not want to fight you, but to personally attack by calling him "little g" is not conducting ourselves in a christ like manner regardless of this situation. I've noticed that because of this many people who follow you are now being encouraged to also refer to him in that manner. We are as Christians to label things according to beliefs and righteousness, not personal attacks aside from spiritual matters. Just something to think about. 9h

    Stevenson called out SOB Ward live on HBO, but Ward refused to even answer him. When asked about fighting Kovalev, Ward said that Kovalev was too big for him.............Duva is trying to make a Kovalev/Ward fight for next year, but Ward does not seem to be interested. Ward wants Ricardo Lopez to come out of retirement, or perhaps Christy Martin........................

    Virgil Hunter has said that he wants Ward to stay at 168 for his whole career. I think there are riffs in the camp between Virgil, Prince and Roc Nation. That's why its taking so long to get him a fight. Roc Nation wants him at 175 but Virgil is protecting him. I doubt Roc Nation is going to pay Ward millions to keep fighting tune ups and bums.

    Ward has all those options yet he's fought twice in 3 years something doesn't add up?

    I think Ward is legitimately an elite fighter and gives a tough fight to any of the top guys at 160, 168 or 175 and is favored against almost all of them.

    But he can't acuse anyone of ducking him when he doesn't fight.

    I stopped reading there.

    If there is a single fighter in this sport with NO OPTIONS then it's Andre.

    Hell, he's had to move up to get fights! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Yes Ward has options: to stay at home or eat at Olive Garden.

    How does somebody like Ward get fights rejected?

    I cant understand why he is trying to get no name novices from SMW to fight him at LHW? Surely there is a LHW out there who is outside the top 20 he can face.

    Golovkin is what is called a K2 Diva. But he can't attract bums to a free hotel room. His PPV did less numbers than Klitscho and most buyers brought the fight to see Roman Gonzalez who always steals the show from Little g.

    -DeGale is non-profitable, no one knows who de gale is.
    -Groves and Chavez have been both derailed, no one cares about them
    -Newsflash: Froch is retired, but what do you know

    -He won't fight either Stevenson or Kovalev, that's for damn sure.


    So, going by simple math, Golovkin is the one with more options:

    -The winner of Cotto/Canelo (a HUGE fight)
    -Lee and Quillin in their own weight class
    -Eubank Jr who is already known and followed in Britain and will grow a lot in few months


    :hi:

    Additionally, there's the fact Golovkin could fight literally anybody and it would always sell more than The Bore
