    Funny people are talking this poorly about Ward when Kovalev is a straight up racist. Lol.

    Fact is: This event wasn't mandatory, Ward didn't have to participate at all. They said Kovalev was the one who ditched a meeting Sat night, why should Ward have to follow through with this?!

    Lol no they won't, a lot of 'legally binding' contracts are as unethical as they come. I guess you don't do business.

    Jesus can you not understand anything that was said.

    I gave two choices, either ward is a complete dummy and signed a contract that seriously screwed him or else he acted unethically breaking contract

    If the contract was unethical or bad for ward you are saying he is a dummy, but the act of breaking a contract that you signed is unethical, and the fact that the courts backed goosen shows that the contract wasn't dodgy.

    I take your response shows you think ward is lacking in brains

    From Ward’s side, a source with knowledge on the situation tells RingTV that it was actually Kovalev who didn’t appear, suggesting that they were supposed to interviewed during the Canelo-Chavez card on Saturday night to promote their upcoming rematch.


    And since Kovalev didn’t appear for that interview, Ward decided to leave town afterwards as he wasn’t keen on going out of his way to accommodate Kovalev — particularly following Kovalev’s posting of this since-deleted meme that was alleged to have racist undertones (which isn’t the first time Kovalev has been accused of such behavior)

    ----

    Source: badlefthook

    So it hurts the promotion of the fight on their part. Ward's actions are unprofessional. They made an allegation that was ludicrous.

    I wasn't commenting on Wards situation. Just the generalisation that breaking a legally binding contract is 'unethical' - total garbage.

    come on man, everyone knows racism is a 2 way thing. At least hes honest about it. You've got black fighters backing black fighters purely because "hes ma brother maaaan"...They don't even know each other, purely race reasons, and its a given. You turn that around and a white man/boxer would be linched....

    Well, we know what he posted of Stevenson, that was way out of bounds, very racist material.

    Who ever this was has done a terrible job in matching Ward
    tune ups and handling of Cotto.
    Perhaps a change in marketing and promoting personal would
    also be a step in the right direction.

    I like the one where the guy from the north pole puts gifts under your tree when you sleep...that's my favorite story!
    According to the bible we are all children of god! Ward being a man, that would make him a son of god!
