    Nearly double the amount ggg got for fighting monroe jr. Ggg is not the A side, money decides who's the A side, and that's not ggg.

    Ward was GROSSLY overpaid by Jay Z.
    He's losing him money, yeah Ward is the A-side for bankruptcy :lol::lol:

    Either way what fighter getspaid alone doesn't determine a-side etc. Not even close.

    Lol, no, it's being a good boy and a nice person what determines the A side. In what world are you living?

    Neither you nor whatshisname troll can say how much eh?

    Also, since you seem new I will educate you - how much the fighter earns is not what determines the "A" , or stronger side in negotiation. Rather, which promotion brings more money to the table is. This is not necessarily the same.

    Its true that Roc could in fact be the A-side, if they decided to make an investment. But in terms of which fighter can currently draw more paying fans, and get a bigger payout from HBO then that is GGG at the moment.

    If Roc is paying 2million+ to Ward to fight on BET, then Roc is losing an awful lot of money. Its an investment, not a measure of market strength. K2 on the other hand makes a profit when GGG fights. He fights often, so he still makes a lot more than Ward overall, and everyone eats.

    A-side or B-side has to do with how well you draw fans (viewers, ticket sales) in recent fights.

    Ward is clearly the B-side to Golovkin at this time. Maybe that changes in the future, but that's the way it is now.
