Ward needs to cut the umbilical cord. It cannot be a business when it’s convenient and not be when its not. The money and draw are not in Oakland. The winner of the first go around in this market is pretty much irrelevant. Its not like rematches at this level are rare. Lamotta and Robinson fought six times. After all it is prize fighting and Carl brings the cash and is really the biggest fight for Ward if he plans on staying at 168. He said as much with Lampley after the fight. If Froch is not the money man of this division selling out the O2 and having Hbo travel there then I don’t know who is because Ward cannot draw scabs to a bad rash.
