Ward needs to take a page out of Sergio's book and realise he's not a big draw

    The fact he is number 2 p4p shows how weak this era is today. Nothing against him but he's the beneficiary of weak competition

    To be fair it probably would have been double that amount had it been on HBO. It wasn't.

    Fighting Dawson at 168 didn't help. Would have been a great win at 175.

    Honestly, I think Ward would beat GGG, but he would get the **** beat outta him by Stevenson.

    That one needs more context Hans. Unfair to Ward, E-Rod never mentioned testing during negotiations.

    LOL!

    You act as if Ward has little to no options of who he can fight. Tht is totally wrong. He has many, many options at MW, SMW, LHW that he can choose from.
    Let's not forget that Ward is just getting over an injury and surgery. He is now recovered and should be ready to fight quality opponents that should satisfy HBO or any other network.
    I think for now Ward is trying to win in court to get out of his contract with Goosen. I'm not sure if this matter has been concluded or not, or if he plans on signing with another promoter if he is ssuccessful.
    Still, Ward has plenty of options. He is rated #2 P4P, and for very good reason.
    When you are talking about a rematch to Froch, then Ward is, and should be in the position to call the shots. Even if the rematch is in England, Ward deserves the larger share of the proceeds.
    he could fight Bernard Hopkins, and perhaps, maybe finally retire the old man. If that fight were in Montreal or Quebec, it should do pretty good.
    He could fight GGG, but do you actually believe that GGG has a chance against Ward? LOL!

    Golovkin only needed 4 fights in US to become a bigger draw then ward and yes he's a bigger draw ,because more people watch his fights than wards and GGG net worth more than Wards

    True, the Super 6 would have been much stronger had they not locked Bute out of the mix. :rofl

    But GGG who comes from a remote part of the world most Americans couldn't place on a map if they had a hundred stabs at it and barely speaks any English is doing 685,000 for his debut on HBO, 813,000 in his next outing, 1.1 million for his next, and 1.566 million for his next after that. All in the space of 14 months. Rofl.

    You contradicted yourself. Ward is still in legal battles but has many options to choose from? Ward can't even sign for a fight right now.

    Why should Ward "deserve" the larger share of UK revenues? Cotto-Martinez is all I have to say.

    Ward said last year he wouldn't fight Hopkins. Ward said recently he's not moving the LHW on the short term, so no "options at LHW".

    Only a few hardcores in QC know who the fukk Ward is. Ward-Hopkins in QC does atrocious numbers.

    He could fight GGG? What, have offers been sent and discussed? Golovkin is focused on 160 for now.

    This. :deal

    Ward needs to start travel ling, changing weight and accepting to be payed less than his opponents if he doesn't want to waste his career fighting the likes of Edwin Rodriguez.

    Nah, Stevenson is an easy fight for Ward.

    Kovalev and GGG have much better 'punchers chances'.

    Ward is the most avoided champion in boxing.
