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(rather not go the conspiracy theory route about them still being mad he beat Nonito)

I said all this about a month ago....I agree with your entire post (except that Rigo fights are boring)



Who is Barrera to turn down career high paydays and then act like it's Ward fault



Paul Smith was coming off of back to back Championship fights (against Arthur Abraham) then he fought Ward....who has Barrera fought? What levels has he reached to be asking for more than $300k? Beating Murat and the Ghost of Jeff Lacy means you can demand to make much more than a guy who just fought for a Championship in his last 2 fights?



nikka ducked BeterBEAST the same way....by asking for more money, now he's doing the same thing with SOG



He better get his no name ass in the ring, get his career high payday (before Ward just calls up Nadjib Mohammedi) and a L, and continue working. SOG doesn't give in to demands...especially from those who have no resume

@Newzz I dont think rigo himself is boring, but a lot of his fights haven't been entertaining whether it had to do with Rigo or his opponents.. love Rigo but I cant pretend its not a tough sale by any promoter to get Rigo fights aired on HBO vs a non champion or great contender for an opponent.. dont really like the idea that people are attributing all this to backlash for him beating Nonito.. after he beat Nonito not even a year later he fought abegko and the viewer ratings took a nose dive.. numbers dont lie

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

Honestly dont think Ward gives a fukk about that status.. He's already been to the mountain top and prolly feels he can get back there with no problem with a quality win over Kovalev.. the main issue is will the lack of activity and quality opponents prepare him well enough for the kovalev fight, or is he already good enough to go with the lack thereof

Yeah they fighting back to back weeks....























































Ok... that was terrible. I'll try again.

He's fukk Chaves up. Algieri might actually make it a fight.

Chaves is a fukking bum ...He hasn't won a fight in two years N only has 2 Ws since Sept 2012...Ring Magazine jus barely took him off top 10 tho

Having said all that he'd be a good opp for Spence since he has a name, is tough N will fight dirty...that's valuable experience

The new N improved Algieri would be a good ass fight for Spence
