    If it wasn't explicitly in the contract that Kovalev had to be there, there was no leg to stand on legally for him to be sued. And if it was there for him, one would think the same clause would be there for Andre...

    So Ward who needs all the help he can get to sell tickets and PPV's skips a promotional event that could help this event sell a bit more than the pathetic embarrassing amount the first fight did? Sounds like great business acumen to me.

    You're gonna laugh but probably not...Ward is a POS and would never apply the same terms to himself, he bailed on original contract and wrote a new one.

    You should read this article

    Yeah, I know. Pacquiao still kicking around is sort of an open challenge to everyone. The gauntlet has been thrown down. "You want to be #1, move up 7 weight classes and see if you do as well as me?" All these guys in their first or second weight class calling themselves number one better recognize.

    Threatened to sue if Kovalev didn't show up, then doesn't show up himself? Honestly, I'm a little impressed.

    It's just so damn brazen. It's so ballsy and underhanded it's comical.

    (i realize this is not fashionforum24.com, but the occasional sartorial-related post should be harmless)

    Kovalev is saying here in this photo:

    "yeah i'm wearing a cardigan, got a problem with that?" ​

    it might be a look he borrowed from GGG, who up until a couple of years ago, used to wear them almost exclusively

    i remember a GGG interview in 2012 (LA Times i think) in which the interviewer remarked that GGG was very likely the most dangerous man ever to wear a powder blue cardigan and white leather shoes

    yeah--Ward was in his room crying and said he wouldn't come out unless Lampley stopped by and told him that he's HBO's P4P #1.

    Isn't that just what old Russian men wear? He's Russian. He's dressing like a Russian.
