    I've always suspected it, but Kanye isn't the sharpest razor in the box,

    Did you tale a look at his business presentation chart? The boy has verified that he is a real dunce. Ellison and Zuckerburg won't give him a dime with that and he's asking them for 1 billion bucks.

    The thing is, Kanye's latest album is exclusive to Jay-Z's Tidal, so you would expect he is making big money there, but here he is shamelessly begging Zuck for money on Twitter.
    He's like, "Zuck I know you listen to my art at home, but you see me hurting and won't lend me a dime".
    The boy has no shame.
    LOL, why didn't he ask Jay-Z? Prabably because Jay-Z shot his own brother for borrowing a chain.

    That was pretty obvious when he was trying to drag no names up from SMW on the recent PPV he faked an injury to get out of.

    Ward is cornered at LHW. Other than Kov he would be forced to face Stevenson for the most money.

    Would you sign a fighter that brings up baseless lawsuits just because he wants out of his contract?He says somebody whispered in his ear that he can make $20 million if he gets out of it. Mind you a contract that Ward willing signed the year prior. That will scare off many managers and promoters.

    Ward likes to have a lot of say in his contracts, opponents etc.
    When you sign with Haymon you do as you told, end of.

    I think Ward wants no parts of Adonis. Ward sees something in Adonis that he would rather avoid. Ward vs Adonis in MOntreal is a huge money fight. It was offered to him. He ignored Adonis as if he didn't exhist.

    RocNation is a good move for someone like Cotto who controls much of his own career via Cotto Promotions, but Ward lacks that business experience and so does Roc Nation.
    I'm sure that all these delays in Ward's career are mostly due to RocNation not understanding the business, like 50 cents.

    Bingo;

    Andre Ward doesn't like that "2-3 fights by now" pace, He likes the current pace...everything is going as planned, hence he is undefeated all his life & everybody else not :smoke

    Yeah, Haymon would have more options for him.

    Why live the pressure of having more options, when you can stay undefeated all your life, pick your spots like a Lion :think

    Cotto has a whole country behind him that is nuts for this sport. He generates money and interest no matter who the promoter is. Cotto also has a fan friendly style that attracts even more fans.

    You cannot say the same about Ward on both counts.

    True. Puerto Rico is one of the greatest boxing nations, and the US fan base frankly sux in comparison.
    Still, Cotto generates that level of interest because he is Cotto, who has fought everyone in his era and is a real warrior.
    There is only one Miguel Cotto, so enjoy him while he's here because he won't be here much longer..

    But does he really intend to fight Kovalev? Or will he duck him too when the time comes?

    Isn't his wife loaded? That porn star tramp Kanye married has spun that vapid tin can of a show of hers into gold. Her fat ass is printing money.

    Who want's to watch Ward hold, headbutt, elbow, run, etc., when they can watch a real fight somewhere else. HBO does not like him.........Ward will only fight in his home town, with his personal referee, judges, boxing commission, gloves, ring, ad infinitum, plus all the money.................Roach said Ward has no chance against Kovalev, I agree, and it appears that Ward agrees also.....................
