    I still can't understand why Ward made the stupid decision to sign with Jay-Z when the natural home for him is Haymon's PBC.

    Had Ward signed with PBC he would have fought 2-3 fights by now and probably made as much (or more) money than he has since signing with Roc Nation.
    Roc Nation doesn't know the boxing Biz and it's starting to show with how they've failed at the couple of negotiations they've conducted on Ward's behalf.

    I'm actually starting to think Ward would have been better of professionally staying with Goosen then signing with a rapper owned promotion company.

    LOL, even though Kanye West is exclusive to Tidal he's on FB right now begging Zuckerburg for money.

    WTF!?! :smoke

    Hey now, Sesame Street is popular.

    Actually I could so see Ward on Sesame Street. He would indeed be a great casting for the show. After all, he is soft spoken and great at hugging people. U_A was spot on for once.

    He probably did too, but as he explained to Mrs. Ward, he was drunk.

    The whole Formation routine was Beyonce calling out to Ward.

    Wouldn't be too difficult considering how ugly Jay-Z is. I wonder how she even gets wet for him.

    :yikes

    I'd guess that Haymon had enough of dealing with Prince considering the headaches he's had matchmaking with Andrade and decided Ward wasn't worth the hassle.

    Why do I say this? Andrade's the only guy on PBC's roster who can't get fights made with other PBC guys. He'll call them out, then drop off the map. It's happened multiple times, and this makes no sense- in house fights should be the easiest to make. I think the Prince factor is why Al passed on Ward.

    I think Roc nation offered him and Cotto way more money as a signing bonus and terms than they could ever make anywhere else. Even Haymon isn't that wasteful and stupid with Waddel and Reed's cash. Remember when Roc Nation offered Peter Quillin three or four times as much as he'd ever made for a routine defense of his title against Korobov?

    Plus, Ward already has strong ties to HBO which pays him well, and gives him commentary gigs on the side. All that would be down the tubes if he signed with Haymon and PBC.

    Lastly, he might be signed with Roc Nation as a way to duck all the guys in the super middleweight and light heavyweight division that PBC has.
