So who the fukk is barrera to be rejecting 300k and a chance to fight ward

An extra Paul Smith got 225-250K to fight Ward on BET

If you are the undefeated Barrera are you going to accept jus 50k more to fight Ward on HBO??

He should take whatever big money he gets and Paul Smith been in much bigger matches than Barrera

its amazing..to see ruslan come up from struggling with an old chop chop on FNF to shyt like this ..this ward/gatti doc is bringing back them memories from me and my father watching this with the hot box in the living room

I know this post if from 3 years ago but I stumbled upon this fight a few weeks ago Google searching "best ever boxing rounds" and they said round 9 was a candidate for best round ever.....it was . I still haven't brought myself to watch the entire fight yet . frank cappuccino NOT stopping it was and a true sign of a great ref not getting in the way

Smith was coming off 2 straight L's before Ward... Smith loses to errybidy

Meanwhile Barrera is coming off his best career W N is undefeated

OBVIOUSLY Barrera is a step up in competition... So why wouldn't Barrera N his team want more then BET money

Its not about what Barrera wants.. you get offered a career high payday you take, it try to win, so you can earn bigger paydays

I honestly think he can make more money fighting journey men in his backyard then taking the risk of fighting canelo or ggg.

Tf you mean its not what Barrera wants

HBO N Ward needs Barrera...not the other way around...Barrera can sit tight as IBF mando beat up a few cans while waiting N then fight the winner of Kovalev vs Ward N still make 300k on HBO for a belt

HBO has shown they're desperate for a decent Ward opp N they will give in N pay a decent Ward opp (Edwin Rodriguez 1 Milly)

Do HBO favors N end up like Willie Monroe ...Beat HBOs guy, fukk up a mega fight N end up like Rigo

But nah take the first offer HBO gives you brehs

That's a pretty good point. I'm sure Barrera will end up getting 500k or somethin

What I mean is Barrera can want whatever amount of money facing Ward, dont mean he deserves or has earned it.. If he rather wait for Ward and Kovalev to fight, so be it.. when Ward wins, he wont get $1 more than what was offered the 1st time... HBO dont need him.. when they were paying Ward opponents that much, that was back when Ward was still very active and could easily get 1million+ viewers on HBO. Those days are gone and Barerra is just a tune-up fight for Ward, he shoukds took his asswhooping for 300k(career high payday) and kept it moving...

HBO didn't need Monroe either, they woulda just found another bum for GGG to beat up on.. Rodriguez was top 10 on his division when Ward beat him.. Rigo fights aren't entertaining EDIT: to the majority(rather not go the conspiracy theory route about them still being mad he beat Nonito)

ward is doing himself no favors in regards to his p4p status..can't give him the top spot when

1) he doesn't fight
2) he hasn't beaten a notable fighter in a while

its 2016...he needs to get his ass in the ring and fight
