    Respect to Brand, took 30k for a huge showdown in Oakland, made a name for himself and boosted his resume.
    Some fighters are just too greedy :juggle:

    Cleverly agreed to fight him too, but Ward bottled it.

    Ward could also learn how to accept B side terms against a bigger draw. Something he has done 0 times in his career

    Coming from a GGG fan that;s hilarious Canelo is the cash cow and a true A-side and that ****boi GGG wants to price himself out with his horrific resume. Atleast Ward has the balls to get into the ring with a monster like Kovalev and there was no problems with A-side or B-side in this fight.:deal: Once again GGG could learn a thing or two from Ward Kovalev and Brand.

    Clev priced himself out by demanding 45k $ payday.
