GGG: My advice to Andre Ward is to stop mentioning my name.

Well let's see.

You can't taste. Sure.

You can't smell. Meh.

You can't feel anything when you're touching something. Hmmmm.

You can't hear. Fukk, this is weird.

You can't see either. ****.



...you're as good as unconscious. :good


Michigan Warrior was floored, MVC was sparked out. :deal

 

My advice to Golovkin: STFU about 168 if you're not interested in fighting the man at that weight.

 

When is Ward's next fight?

 

It won't be against Golovkin any time soon, that's for sure.

"I'll fight anyone from 154-168. Wait, Andre Ward wants to fight me?" :bolt

 

deal

 

You've got to be kidding. Ward getting paid more shows nothing more than Ward is over paid. GGG has higher television ratings and probably higher ticket sales at this point. Golovkin is a bigger attraction by any legitimate metric--even more so now with Ward's inactivity.

Hint: the amount you're paid and p4p rankings are not the most solid measurement of your fan draw/monetary attractiveness.

While it's true Golovkin-Ward would be bigger than Golovkin-Geale, neither are PPV events. Ward needs to get busy getting some fights and raising his ratings so he and GGG can do a PPV next year.

 

Sparked out does not necessarily = unconscious! :good

 

It really does. Sparked out means exactly that.

No spark equals pretty much dead.. and am ko's means ****.
Most are stopped if a fighter gets stunned.

 

No it doesn't. Just because some dksab guy wrote it on Oxford dictionary.com doesn't make it such.

Spark out could easily just mean you got hit so hard you lose total control over your body/motor functions. You could still be conscious while that happens.

Similar to Khan/Prescott

 

September 2012 on HBO in the post fight interview after the Proksa fight, Golovkin told Max Kellerman that he would fight Andre Ward.
Ward fought Chad Dawson a week later. Since then Golovkin has fought 5 times and Ward has fought once.
What was Ward waiting on?
Ward's next fight was supposed to be in Sept. 2013 but got pushed back to November. He was trying to get his tune up on against Caleb Truax, Dmitri Sartison and Stanyslav Kashtanov before HBO stepped in and told him he had to fight Edwin Rodriguez or they wouldn't broadcast it.
One guy is fighting.
The other guy is injured, inactive and in and out of court.

 

Ward cant draw flys.
GGG definately is the bigger draw.
And his star power is growing every fight.

 

Can't draw flies

Yet sells out the Oracle every time he fights

Averaging 1.2 million homes while on HBO.

:deal

And makes 5x what Gennady makes per fight!!! :rofl:rofl

Gennady must be getting ripped off or has a horrible business team for this to be happening.

 

Yes, Golovkin has fought five times, and all five of those fights were against relative bums. I have no issue with him staying at 160 and doing that until he can get a unification, and I understand that the other belt holders are less than eager to fight him, but I do have an issue with him saying that he'll fight Ward and "anybody from 154 to 168" only to turn around and tell Ward not to mention his name. He doesn't want to move up and fight him... Fine, then he shouldn't have mentioned it in the first place.

 

How many offers did K2 turn down from Ward's team?

 

I think you have to factor how Ward is saying it. Ward is talking out his arse.

When K2/GGG were open to it, Ward literally laughed it off. Ward is in a pickle, HBO is unhappy.. and GGG is the only money fight available.

Make no mistake, Ward could have fought GGG last year but wanted E-rod as his return guy. It was very widely reported that Ward wanted a soft touch for his return bout.

So Ward go and sues his promoter, goes completely inactive... then suddenly GGG is ducking him? GTFO seriously, anyone who believes that has serious issues with reality.
