Duva: very difficult to deal with RNS/Ward

Poor thing. She has to do it again later for Kovalev - Ward too.

 

Blame herself, Ward is lenient and always wants fights made.

She's stalling like ****

 

They probably would say the same thing about her.

 

If everynbody is hard to deal with. Perhaps she's the problem? lol

 

i dont doubt that ward/ROC arent easy to deal with.....ward has had problems...and been out of real ring action for some time....and you can tell ward is pretty stubborn

that being said.....this might barreras only good shot at a payday and hbo....ward is a spoiler and you prob wont look good against ward....so im sure they want to milk every penny they can get for him too

 

Ward is ready to move and there is no way he is responsible for the delays.

I blame Duva and very likely the inexperienced RocNation.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure either party is the "this fight's getting done over lunch" type.

Put them together, and you get.....this.

 

You don't negotiate agreements in public. Usually the party that is complaining the loudest in public is the more intransigent one.

 

True. It's a figure of speech making reference that it's far quicker and easier to deal with some parties than others. :good

 

RN had no problems putting together Cotto Alvarez working with GBP. Duva, OTOH, has made these same complaints in the past about other promotional outfits. The problem here is DUVA not being able to grasp the concept that her side, more often than not, is the "B" side. Such is the case here...

 

It's her damned job. Maybe KKKovalev and Barrera should get a real promoter if she can't handle it.

 

i mean...i sort of sympathize with duva too

small roster with nothing special other than kovalev...its gotta be tough to stay in business....gotta be tough to compete with the big boys

 

KKKovalev as you call him will end the career of Ward and the joke of a fighter hes turned into.

 

I'd be terrified of someone else poaching Kovalev if I were her. And she should be.

Kovalev is the more accomplished pro between him and Golovkin. Duva complains about it...but didn't realize what she was really saying was that K2 is doing a better job building GGG than she's doing with Kovalev.

People can joke about GGG fighting bums all they like, but in his downtime, he's always out there building his brand, connecting with fans, and trying to win over new ones. Sanchez and K2 wisely targeted the Latino markets hard. He goes to the UK. He goes to LA and Texas sporting functions. Now he's got a fanbase on both coasts that can sell out a venue.

Meanwhile, Kovalev is still just a road warrior despite fighting his entire career in the states. GGG didn't even get here until 3 and a half years ago.

Duva postures and complains too much for my tastes. Just having a knockout punching champion isn't enough- she's got to sell Kovalev harder, or risk losing him to a promoter that will.
