    Fact is: He is of a higher value to HBO than GGG is.... there is a reason why HBO pays him more than they do Golovkin.

    Do you think HBO are braindead? They know Ward's value is very high and that's why the purse #'s are higher than that of Golovkin's fights.

    Ward is far more accomplished..... but he just has legal issues atm and a horrible promoter. That is why he's not getting any fights.

    Ward is still as big if not a bigger name as Golovkin is..

    You clearly don't know what you're talking about

    You speak as if he's UNABLE to fight

    He has asked Goossen to get fights for him even though they are on the verge of splitting.

    Goossen just hasn't gotten any offers. :lol:

    If you say so. I don't see them pushing him to get back in the ring and on their TV.

    Either way, even if he is more valuable, he is less of a draw. He couldn't sell out a tennis court.

    I would say they're on the same level, yet one had actually fought for a world title prior.

    And yet he did 1.3 million with Dawson and 1.1 million with Rodriguez?

    He's sold out all the Oracle arena every time he fought.

    :hi:

    Fking hell.

    That Grachev win > Adama's entire career.

    They are NOT on the same level, not even close.

    Rodriguez is B-B+

    Adama is C-

    Outside of Grachev what else has he done ?

    Your a ****, get back to hyping up Rod Salka.

    Rodriguez is just as bad as Adamu and you know it.

    Plus one stopped his opponent whilst the other went the distance in a Greco roman wrestling match.

    Wow.

    Now how about posting GGG viewing figures, or do you just not want to admit he's the bigger draw.

    You and I know you're running out of material and you're getting destroyed here

    Adama is on the same level as Rodriguez?

    Wtf has Adama done besides getting canned by Geale/George/Davis

    Adama's best claim to being a good fighter is never getting knocked out prior to the GGG fight. :hey

    Keep it up with the personal insults, you're weak minded and you're getting exposed for your glaring idiocy. :happy

    Fact: Rodriguez would beat Adama easily.

    Enough about the money. I really doubt Ward, at this point, is a bigger name, amongst casuals, than Golovkin. If he was, there would be more demand for him to fight again. Of course I want to see him fight again, but most people out there don't really care. Gennady is their new face and there obviously putting more resources into him, regardless of his purse size. I would imagine Ward would be getting paid more; he's been with a big promoter for years and has more names under his belt. GGG is still a bigger draw at this point.

    More importantly what did Grachev ever do to become such a good win, apart from losing to a confidence shot Bute. Dude was a kickboxer.

    Around the same?

    Proska/Golovkin did 650k

    Macklin/Golovkin 1.1m

    Golovkin/Stevens 1.4

    Golovkin/Adama was not televised by HBO

    You claim people out there don't care

    But his viewing figures begs to differ.

    You're just talking out of your ass now.

    Rodriguez should beat Adama he's what 2 divisions bigger.

    Plus I'm not trying to hype him as some good defence unlike you who seems to think Rodriguez is some sort of good defence. The man is borderline top 10 at best.

    Also you got back with those links to both fighters viewing figures ?
