Andre Ward Signs for RocNation

He should fight GGG first fight out so he can blame ring rust for his loss.

 

Great news! Roc Nation seems to willing to put on fights.

 

How many times, in how many ways do Froch and his team have to say they're not interested in fighting Ward, before you start to believe them?

 

From a purely boxing standpoint, I don't see it as a particularly great match up.
Ward has already beaten Froch pretty easily, with a broken hand for part of the fight.

From a boxing point of view Kovalev and Golovkin are more interesting, simply because he hasn't already fought them and they have a lot of momentum behind them.

Outside of a possible payday, I don't see the allure for Ward of fighting a guy hes already beaten, in what will be his opponents retirement fight.

I don't think there'd be any massive financial difference at this stage fighting Froch over GGG or Kovalev.

But who knows.

As Ive mentioned, I don't think Froch and his team have any interest in fighting Ward.

It makes no business sense to fight him. It may pain you to hear it, but Froch and Hearn are business men like the rest of them.

If the reward doesn't fit the risk, the fight doesn't happen.

Ward brings huge risk, and not much reward.

Why else do you think hes wants Chavez? Chavez brings relatively low risk and huge reward.

From a purely boxing standpoint Chavez could be considered a cherry pick. His last 2 and a bit years have consisted of being beaten in a one sided match by Sergio Martinez and 2 fights at 168(171) against Brian Vera, one of which he arguably lost.

But his daddy is a legend, and he has a huge Mexican following, so the fight makes sense

 

Excuses? I know, I know, it's impossible for Ward to do anything wrong. He was unavailable though.

Never did. He just never told the truth - why would he? Being unavailable isn't exactly a great thing to say to market your brand. Why else would he have to be freed from Goossen, and sign with Roc? Because he simply couldn't get the money he wanted out of Goossen which made him completely unavailable.

 

How do you know he was unavailable? I'd take his word and that of his team over yours. Not wanting to fight under a certain promotional banner and being available to do so are 2 different things. And HE said he was available. The fights worth his time were unavailable to him. That is the real problem.

 

Wardo's wriggled free from their exoskeletons, I see.

 

Ward-Froch is NEVER happening, so lets all move on.

I hope this fixes the rut that Ward is stuck in. Its disgraceful that one of the most skilled boxers on the planet is burning through his prime while people he defeated are making millions.

 

Ward vs Rodriguez was made while Ward and Goosen were still in court. Contract dispute was just reason guys used to dock Ward:hi:

 

What exactly were you saying? :think

If Ward couldn't fight, nobody needed an excuse to go in a different direction. Ward was off the table.

If it took an excuse to get out of making a fight with Andre, that's implying anyone could've made a fight with him, but chose not to. IE, they ducked him.

In order for the first post to make sense, you'd have to believe Andre was being ducked by everybody because he fought nobody. Otherwise, you're saying other boxers needed excuses to not fight a guy who literally could not fight.

 

Name an opponent that Ward expressed interest in that he said he was unavailable to fight.

My point is fans of certain fighters and certain fighters themselves are saying he is unavailable. When HE says he is available.

 

:deal You are making a lot of sense.

 

we'll see, froch seems pretty confident.
