    Who would prepare Ward for the Krusher without having a serious chance of derailing the match by KO'ing Ward?

    Sabransky would have been a great choice! Do you know what happened, by any chance?

    And how exactly do you know that Brand wasn't training?

    If they are going to fight, I'm sure its been in negotiations for at a few weeks, in which case, Brand has known theres a chance of the fight happening for that long.

    It irks me when people come out with these silly statements, basically saying that fighters start fighting when the contract is signed.

    Like they wake up in the morning and are told just before the press release that they're fighting in 5 weeks.

    That's exactly what I said.....lame brained antics at its finest....the board runs rampant with these notions and excuses that come out of nowhere and can't be backed up by anything substantial

    Reports said that talks broke down over the financial side. Shabranssky wanted more money than RocNation were prepared to give.

    Yes. Of course Brand will have been in training for at least a week now, probably even longer.

    This is a pointless fight. At least Cleverly would have put up a bit of resistance as a legit 175lber. This is a waste of Ward's time as he'll get better work in his sparring sessions.

    Probably asked for a hotel room and a ride to the arena and Roc Nation said it was cutting into Wards purse too much.

    Lol. I do think that it was a low offer though.

    As long as he fights in November who cares, staying busy is not a bad thing

    This is what PED users do like Floyd and Ward They have longer to juice up so they announce the fight late, less time to be tested. Why they even bother is beyond me. They just get TUE's and even if they do **** hot the positive sample disappears.

    That extra ice bag for his corner was the eventual deal breaker. These damn Easter{sic} Euro's cannot expect to come here and take food out da brotha's mouth like dat.
