Go ahead and look up what both of them have done on hbo ticket n views wise.(comparable and where the fight would take place ) After that go look up what they have gotten paid for what they've done.(Ward gets paid more)

Now go ahead and tell me how GGG is the A side. You're not and neither can team - -- that's why it's a 50/50 split.
:dwillhuh:

U really holding on to what ward did over 3 years ago?

What's that friend you don't feel like looking up the facts and numbers :francis:

He last fought on hbo almost 2 years ago and you can look up what he got paid for his fight from last month but nah I'm going by stuff from 3 years ago :francis:

team - - - seem to be holding on to what Ward did three years ago as well then :sas1:

whatever someone gets paid for a fight does not make them the a side, it just means u got a good manager/promoter.

what makes the a side is who is going to fill up the seats, who are they coming to see... all that points to ggg here...

look at wards last fight, how many viewers did he have?.

Lets do a avy bet on who gets more viewers next time they fight?

i find it a trip how ward fans just cant accept that he isnt a draw, there are many fighters that are great that just dont draw... rigo is a good example, if rigo is not fighitn a big name he is not drawing anything... fighters like these only draw decent numbers when they fight a big name.

Would Ward ever have decent numbers if he fought no names? No, he needs help to get viewers.

Fighters like Canelo, GGG, Chavez can have that fanbase where they can get decent numbers on there own, ward cant do that.

Look i like ward, i feel that he can beat GGG but ward needs to see that he dont have a following like that.

A whole bunch of words with zero facts to back what you talking. That has literally been every post of yours in this thread. :francis:

You can't find one post of me on here saying Ward is a big draw all I've said is that if he isn't then neither is ggg. You can't say a guy isn't a draw yet he gets paid significantly more than the guy who you're saying is. :what:

Here are some facts for you friend.

Ward and GGG have brought similar views to hbo where the fight would take place. :cmsas1:

It would be a ppv main event debut for both promoted by hbo. :cmsas1:

Against similar skill level opponents Ward has made more money than - - - every time. :cmsas1:

Ward sells tickets on the west coast where - - - has been pandering to Mexicans for 3 years to build a fanbase. :cmsas1:

The deal for this fight backs everything #SOGGang has been saying for the longest. :cmsas1:

There is nothing you can do about it. :banderas:

You keep saying everything points to - - - doing the heavy lifting for the sell of this fight but I ask for some proof so I don't have to take your word for it and it's :manny:

Been trying to explain these points to him but his mind is already made up so there's no reasoning with him.

I ask you to provide facts. You didn't. Why should answer your questions? I'll bite though.

Wards last fight #s were very low but it's boxing on bet :beli: on a night were 2 other fights took place. Ward has never done under a 1 mill on hbo where this fight would be taking place. - - - sure has done under a million though.

Can you answer some questions for me now?

What were the paydays of Ward and GGG last 3 fights?

If they were to fight whose titles would be on the line?

Can you find me ONE fight in the history of boxing where there was an a/b side where everything was split 50/50??

That's where it lies, GGG has built a good following the past couple of years and his numbers reflect that... Ward might have done decent numbers on hbo but that is the past, ward had a show and proved he couldn't bring the viewers in... Negotiating is all about what's in the present, just cuz a fighter achieved all this in the past doesn't give him muscle to the now... Mosely can't ask Garcia to be te a side off things he did in the past.

Idk a A side who brought in less money but I'm sure it's been done.

U can say kovalev was the a side in that fight and I believe Hopkins got the bigger cut.

Does ward have a belt?.. If so he can go with that but we've seen it in the past where cotto didn't have the belt and he was the a side.

Let GGG go up against Adrien Broner on NBC & David Lemieux on Fox Sports in the ratings, with GGG being on BET of all places, and he wont get the same numbers he's used to either breh:yeshrug:

yes, it being on BET is a big reason for that low ratings but it is what it is, they going to point at the numbers and go from that.

just like at floyds past, he couldnt do shyt about being the a side for the most part cuz he wasnt a draw.. same fighter and all but that all changed once he started to feel the seats and get viewers.. ward is in a similar place floyd was early in his career, ward played himself going to rn... he could have went to haymon and got built up and no one can counter how he wasnt the a side.

Now go ahead and tell me how GGG is the A side. You're not and neither can team - - - that's why it's a 50/50 split.

But hey let's not let facts get into this, let's work with beliefs and feelings :sog:

Wards paycheck for the smith fight was based off his drawing ability from before 2013. Now that he just got paid $2million and had what, 200k viewers on BET? Do you think he will get that paycheck from his promotor again for fighting a bum? Didnt they have to give out all sorts of jesus discounts and free tickets just to fill up the oracle? Ward is taking a paycut in his next fight unless he fights a decent name fighter. Wort-gang need to be realistic.
