    Well his primary source of income IS boxing promotion.

    Ward is his biggest fighter.

    Are you suggesting that getting Wards fight ISNT financially beneficial to him?

    As I said he obviously doesn't want to work with a guy that's sueing him, maybe because his a man of principle and would prefer to see him rot or he just doesn't trust ward too not pull out and fu ck him over

    Goosen isn't going to go hungry over this his got enough money in the bank I last him a few lifetimes

    Principle...in boxing promotion?

    WHY WOULD WARD PULL OUT OF A FIGHT WHERE HE IS MAKING 7 FIGURES???

    MAKE SENSE!!

    Do have any idea how stupid this sounds?

    The way you;re talking you'd swear they were 2 14 year old arguing in the school yard and not 2 business men!

    You're making yourself look like more of a fool that when you told everyone you were Joe Joyce Junior!



    I suggest you never own a business....You'd go broke in a few months because you wouldnt sell to people you dont like out of "principle"

    Yes, and Ward's HBO gig kind of took a stumble last Saturday when Jim Lampley started going off the WBA during the Vargas fight.

    Lampley ridiculed the organization for naming "Super" champs and "interim" champs and "regular" champs ... before throwing it to Ward ... as if he expected Andre to agree with him.

    Lampley apparently forgot Ward is a WBA "Super" champ. It's easy to forget, considering he hasn't fought much at all. And then Ward had to fumble for words, because he didn't want to **** off Lampley or the WBA.

    It was a sweet moment.

    Again the money ward would make is theorical money until his finished the fight and he can hurt goosen by pulling out

    Wards been happy to fight only once in three years I doubt he would lose sleep over losing a bit of money by not fighting lmfao

    Your a joke

    So if you were told "turn up to work tomorrow, and Ill give you a million dollars"

    You'd say yes, but not show up, because you didnt like your boss?

    That would make you an idiot.

    It's not work it's a fight and the guy your sueing would take a huge battering financial if you don't turn up

    Happens in all walks of life if a building contractor sublets a job to someone who he can't trust or in this case is foolish enough to give a job to someone who is sueing him and straight out doesn't like him than there's a good chance his going to **** you over regardless if he loses money or not

    And ward has faught once in 3 years he doesn't seem to be that mad for cash does he?

    All this BS started after the S6 when G005EN got Ward his $1 mil+ deal with HBO after the S-6.

    G005EN burned bridges with Shwtime by taking Ward across the pond for a multifight deal, when Shwtime felt they OWNED Ward.

    So when Ward beat Dawson, he wanted BHop after BHop regained a title at LHW.

    BUT...............................................................................................

    BHop is in partnership with GBP, who had by that time taken their business EXCLUSIVELY to Showtime.

    So.....Ward talks with Haymon, and they figure out a way to swap networks without being sued and suddenly, when Ward is at his highest point, he and Dan are on bad terms.

    I wonder why????:huh

    Perhaps ole Dan G005EN doesnt want to let a snake in the house. And supposed Dan G005EN doesn't want HIMSELF to be sued for breach.

    Now it's a pissing contest. G005EN shiits on the Kessler fight b/c Stevenson and GYM want Ward at any weight. But Ward says fukk that shiit....IM THE BOSS. IM CALLIN THE SHOTS. That's the way I see it.

    So Ward pulls out of a fight with (?) insert random bum, has surgery, and sits for over a yr then fights Rodriguez. Suddenly, there's this big bad nightmare named Kovalev also on HBO, and Ward is again not fighting.

    I believe G005EN wants Ward to fight HBO fighters. I mean look at the circumstancial evidence. Look who Ward wants to be his advisor. Ward wants out of the HBO deal and he wants to let Haymon steer his career and follow Floyd $$$$$ Mayweather.

    Now that BHop is signing back with HBO........I fully expect Ward to return to the ring. Sooner rather than later.

    Especially, IF BHop beats Kovalev.

    I expect Ward to fight a 169-172 fight vs a ranked LHW, on HBO before November. And if BHop wins, he'll make that fight and extend with G005en.:think

    It IS WORK.

    They fight for a living. They're PROFESSIONAL BOXERS!
    You understand that right?? Boxing is their job.

    You'd be taking just as much of a finaicial battering as your promoter so whats the point?

    So let me get this straight. You HONESTLY think that Andre Ward would sign to fight someone for 1-2 million dollars, then pull out the night before to spite his promoter?. Thereby foregoing making up to 2 million dollars.

    Would he put his thumb up to his nose and go "NA-NA-NA-NA-NA" to Gossen too?

    He'd pull out and give up 2 million dollars just to make a childish point?

    You honestly think thats a likely turn of events?

    ...Honestly?

    So what exactly is your argument now?

    By continuing to go this route you are suggesting Goosen wants Ward to fight. Therefore Ward's claims that Goosen killed fights and won't get him any are B.S.. You are not doing your hero any favors.

    This is just plain stupid. You are argeeing with two men who are basically calling each other liars while placing the blame elsewhere. I just can't even....
