    Hahah jeez dude, you are so pathetic. :rofl

    If telling HBO yes they will do the fight and Ward saying no he will not is not good enough to make my point, then.... honestly I doubt you would accept reality if you were a Notary Public and personally were stamping a contract offer yourself.

    Though I suspect if you did see an actual contract you might end up in a mental home or something, just getting opposition on a interweb forum already has you on edge :-(

    I think its time for you to go back to your day job as CEO of situps, discussion and debate dont seem like things you are very suited for. :conf

    Failure to draw viewers? LOL you clearly have 0 common sense. If you fight on HBO/Showtime you will draw FAR more viewers compared to other channles on a cable network. ARe you realyl trying to dispute this?
    You GGG fans really are terrified of Ward, I dont know why you are since you've never seen him fight, but at this point most GGG fans know he'll lose.

    Link me to where they said that. I dont get why you're linking me to other stuff but not backing up the only statement that mattered :lol:.
    GGG's team themselves said ward is not ready, but you're still denying it :lol:, how sad are you.
    Hopefully GGG never fights Ward, because you'll definitely be on suicide watch after. You say I'm not suited for debates yet I'm the one posting links and you're the one telling me to google :lol:. Checkmate.

    For you to draw 1 mill+ views on HBO, HBO has to let you fight on their channel in the first place. They turned Ward/Smith down.

    And HBO won't be enticed to let him on next time either with those 300K views on BET.

    And before you start the "well, it was a bum" ****, keep in mind Golovkin has been fight no names and he STILL is drawing in millions of views and setting ticket records everywhere.

    How dumb are you? Yes Golovkin has been drawing those numbers on HBO LOL, jesus christ, how many times do Ihave to repeat that. Ward pulled the same numbers on HBO against no names like Rodriguez too, BET is not known as a network for fights dumby.

    DUDE, HBO DIDN'T WANT WARD ON THEIR NETWORK IN THE FIRST PLACE. You keep talking about Ward would draw 1 million views, but that doesn't mean anything when HBO doesn't even want you on!

    Willie Monroe Jr. on name recognition was his most unknown opponent yet and he still managed to draw 1.08 Mill

    I'm not terrified of Ward and I openly admit I'd favour him to win the fight, I just want GGG to finish MW first then move up, it doesn't even matter if Ward is a draw or not. I think GGG-Canelo is a better fight as well, I mean in and of itself so I really hope that happens.

    Obviously because it was a tune-up after a long lay off, if his opponent after the canelo/cotto ppv is decent, he'll headline forsure, and he'll pull 1m+ easy. But you morons are going to say GGG does 1m against nobodies! Well HE'S fighting on HBO you idiot LOL.

    I dont see Canelo fighting GGG at the full 160 anytime soon, and if he brings him down I see Canelo winning, Canelo has the perfect style against GGG.

    You keep on having to go back before Ward's retirement to pull off numbers. Dude, in that span of time, Ward's interest has nose-dived. The numbers prove that.

    Golovkin is drawing numbers on HBO because, yes, it's HBO AND because Golovkin is a huge draw!

    Sure Ward would draw better numbers on HBO (maybe) but they didn't want him on their network for his last fight in the first place so it's a mute point. And 300K on BET which broadcasts to 90 million homes isn't going to entice HBO for his next fight.

    There is always an excuse.

    GGG is now PPV, not just HBO. He's going to be doing PPV numbers against nobodies while you'll be HOPING Ward is picked up by HBO again. That isn't guaranteed. Golovkin becoming a PPV attraction is.

    The numbers dont prove anything since he was on a network that isnt known for boxing at all :lol:, can you nto get that through your thick skull. If he draws bad on his next fight which probably will be on HBO/Showtime then I would agree.

    I'm not even a Ward fan LOL, I'm a much bigger GGG fan, but it's clear to anyone that isn't terrified of ward that he is the biggest draw for PPV not named canelo/cotto. Also it would be huge for him, do you not understand what a win over Ward would do for GGG's legacy? yeah probably not since yous tarted watching in 2014, and didnt know who Ward was before GGG mentioned him :lol:.
