    If they both walk away, I hope no promoter or broadcaster will touch them with a 10-foot pole.

    thats BS...i hope they dont leave the tournament.

    if its a venue issue then they need to let it happen on a neutral territory, Ward cant have all fights in his backyard

    The Super 6 has been good for boxing and has made Dirrell and Ward. For them to disgrace all that, is absolutely pathetic. Even if the fight goes on, it doesn't matter. The damage is done because Showtime won't want another Super 6. HBO will look at this ness and say the same.

    Two cowardly American jokes.

    This is some serious bull**** (if true). What possible reason could they have for not fighting each other? This is easily as bad as the nonsense Floyd's been pulling off with Pacquiao.

    If these two pricks do weasel out of this fight, then my respect for them will go down the drain forever. I hope Showtime seriously f*ck them over with a law suit, and that they never see a decent pay day again.

    Pfff

    Froch & Abrahammer only argued about the venue but both are warriors and made their fight.

    Ward is more to blame them Dirrell; he wants all the advantages. He has had too many home fights and aassistance as it is already.

    I believe it's more Goosen than Ward. The promoters always moving a fighter trying to get the most money out of them. Goosen should lose his license if this goes down. On contract, the venue was set and agreed to upon the start of the tournament. It was well known, all of Ward's fights were to be in Oakland, so that's on Shaw and Dirrell for protesting at the last second. Ward recently did agree to move to a neutral location like Vegas, but I think Goosen may have refused-(he has as much a vested intrest in Ward winning as Ward does). Either way, Showtime should've stepped down on these guys a month ago. I think the reason we're not hearing much from the fighters or promoters right now is that the legal threats are taking place.

    and this is why your posts are all to be taken with a grain of salt. It doesn't matter if you are right or wrong in your opinion about them disgracing themselves. You're always going to look for the negatives in Americans because that's what you're about.

    You could've just said two cowardly jokes, but had you said that, you wouldn't have been acting like Jack.

    They finally figured it out,The "Super six" makes you fight the best!
    And shortens your career + could potentially make you fight your "Boyfreind".

    I'm a Ward fan, But this is weak...
