    If Golovkin and Ward are in the same division, they're obligated to face each other.

    Yeah , and everyone just wants Ward to get back on the actual fighting circuit and get him name out there again. Let him start selling the type of tickets he was before going on hiatus and the fight can reasonably get made.

    Which is apparently more or less what Loeffler told his manager.

    Ward doesnt fight often because he wants so much money, even for a tuneup. Even Roc wont take a risk on a GGG-Ward PPV under the terms Ward wants, and Roc is investing heavily in Ward and has deep pockets.

    If Ward just rebuilds his brand in the ring, and GGG continues to build his at 160 then it wont be long before the finances are there to actually make the fight realistic. We will see if Ward is serious about building his brand, or just milking Roc for some overpaid tuneups soon when we see his decision about fighting on Cotto undercard. Which probably wont pay that well, but a lot of people will be tuned in for.

    The fact that Floyd+Manny together are a much bigger draw is completely irrelevant to any of the discussions on this thread.

    I have pretty low expectations for your posts, and you somehow manage to still underperform. :-(

    But if Ward is still low reward then Golovkin wouldn't even move up at face him even after he finishes his business at 160... If he was using the risk vs reward method.

    But when he does move up, it'll be because he wants to fight Ward... And if Ward is still a no draw then it'll show that GGG really wasn't using a risk vs reward method but priorities vs reward. Of course, we'll have to see what he does in the future to determine it for certain. However, since you and I both believe he'd fight Ward it goes to show that to believe he'd fight Ward you'd have to go for the priorities vs reward method.

    Ugh. I really thought I was about to break through with you.

    So, in your words, Golovkin moving up to 168 to fight a non-draw Ward after he's done with 160 is risk vs reward somehow. Got it.

    [emoji38] you tried.

    It's risk vs reward NOW. If he moves up to 168, assuming he's moving up to that to stay and not for Ward, then it's fighting the best available.

    Golovkin is too small to be fully effective at the 168 division.

    Yet he was willing to fight JCC Jr who's bigger than Ward and Froch who's the same size as Ward at 168.:nut Log off man.

    We ll see if Floyd makes 50% of his last fight vs Berto.

    Floyd vs Pac - Floyd vs Berto = Pac drawing power alone.
    Simple math...

    Last time I checked , Andrea was LHW. And it is like Andrea fighting Wlad. I do not see Andrea calling Wlad.

    He is chicken. His best win is Froch who is on the level with Lemiux. Once GGG finishes Lem, he will be on the same level of accomplishment with Andrea.

    The whole is more than the sum of its parts. So no. More than 4 millions ppv is not due to Floyd + Pac, but Floyd vs Pac.

    :rofl
    Log off you know nothing ****. Froch is arguably a HOF fighter and was a P4P top 10 fighter for years. He's 2 levels above the likes of Lemieux.

    Come on Pimp D. You make Froch better than he deserves. He only fought some local boys. Whenever he fought out of his backyard, he lost. He lost to Kessler, another fighter who wins only in his backyard too. They made some interesting fights, but their level is pretty much the same. He would have no chance against real HOF.
