    id honestly have zero desire to step up my level of competition, that's the honest truth

    why would you want to face seriously dangerous competition who could do permanent damages to you eg Beterbiev,Kovalev for what would be honestly more than likely be around the same money or marginally more

    that's my honest opinion when your getting grossly overpaid to face basically a low level sparring partner, why would you have any desire to take serious challenges for around the same money

    It was a tuneup. The guy was coming of a 2 year layoff.

    Seriously why is that too hard to understand.

    its not hard to understand, the hard to understand bit is why would he have the motivation to fight very dangerous fighters for basically the same money when he can make 2 million fighting the likes of paul smith

    because his not a big draw and there is no way main event or haymon will shell out 4-8 million for a fighter that doesn't sell

    That's why you're peasant, you expect immediate satisfaction. Roc Nation has a long term goal for Andre Ward. When the make these type of deals they have ****yst do the cost ****ysis of such investment. Andre Ward is a great fighter and Roc Nation believes with better marketing he could turn into a formidable price fighter.

    Whatever they paid Ward his last fight didn't come out your pocket so stfu.

    iv no idea why your getting so defensive and upset, I never insulted ward at all I think his a great fighter so you need to calm down a bit
    numerous people start in boxing and fail eg. 50 cent,mike Tyson. Jay Z could be no different,

    well paying a guy 2million when he should be getting about 200k showing by his drawing power isn't sound and sustainable advice

    what if ward doesn't become a draw at all, big chance that happens, does he then spend the rest of his career fighting the paul smiths of this world for 2 million while Jay z goes broke?

    didn't come out of my pocket? well that has nothing to do with this at all as I never brought that up

    Take money away from the sport and no one would be doing this. Many losers here can't fathom this reality because even they won't deliver pizzas for free.
