    The Cobra has no DEAL for old Cheeseburger JR per management team. I think Carl could step up and face GGG for his last fight. He might ride out in an ambulance VS riding off in the sunset but it would be a good fight for however long Cobra lasted:deal

    Sure. Let's look at Ward's 2014 viewership figures. :lol:

    Sure. Rubio and Garcia raked in thousands of fans, Golovkin didn't do ****. :yep

    "Check mate"... do you talk like that in real life? Do you snap your index and middle fingers together really loud after you say "check mate" in an argument? Perhaps the mods can design a Check Mate smiley for you, mate.

    Of course it does. The sooner he does the better. The longer Ward's inactivity continues, GGG gets less credit for a win against him.

    I think you mean, it makes no sense for GGG and his team right now, because, they don't think they can win.

    No Golovkin didn't have anything to do with it. NO **** he did captain obvious. My point is Rubio/R. Garcia is a way bigger draw than Rodriguez. At least some mexi-casuals know that he fought Chavez.

    As for the "check mate", I knew that would **** you off, I just did it to **** you off since you have this "know it all", "I think I'm witty because I'm sarcastic", attitude. But I did win this argument :good. I bring up all factors, you only bring up numbers that benefit you.

    Golovkin-Rubio drew more than double Ward's gate strictly, and I mean strictly because Rubio was fighting and Garcia training him. Nice.

    You didn't win ****, your argument doesn't make any sense. :lol:

    Nobody has forgotten the Olympic gold medalist and one of the best p4p fighters in the world. You just want to think that. If this fight were made now it would be huge, and no other fight would cement GGG as a top fighter more than this if he could pull the upset. Unifying at 160means little. Cotto isnt in Wards stratosphere in terms of skill and thats the last big fight Golovkin can make at 160.

    I don't think there's an "if" here, the fight won't get made. Both teams accepted the fact that it's not PPV material yet, and Ward's 2M min purse won't sit well with K2 as Golovkin scores a lot higher on the 'What have you done for HBO recently' scale. No way HBO pays 4+ mil for that fight only, I recall the Kovalev-Hopkins fee to be 2 to 3M in pre-fight articles.

    Should this "if" come through for the boxing world, you're also looking at Golovkin taking the time to unify 160 (it is meaningful from a legacy's perspective - fight everybody that's relevant) and Ward taking two tune-ups in 2015 as reported on the Scene a couple of weeks ago. Lots of wait time, if indeed it gets made.

    You used to post on here under the name Uncle Rojer! He was some Jewish kid who studied law at Boston University and fancied himself some master orator.

    Without a doubt. He's actually active, receives better viewing numbers and puts more bums on the seats.
