Abraham was tough but fighting in Germany, he took some beating GGG going up in weight
well I don't see Cotto , Canelo, etc , shouting him out.
GGG moves up the only big money fight would be Froch, Ward does not generate PPV's and
really this game is about money.
I wonder at this stage in his career would Froch, want such a tough fight I think not, and how
much money would a Ward fight make, as Ward is not to ever ones taste.
I think I read Ward gets between 1-1.5Mil for a fight but he demands the lions share of the purse. Obviously a fight with GGG with get more but I dont think he could demand the lions share in that fight as I would think GGG is the bigger draw.
If the moneys right they will fight, but as you no it's boxing pity but that's why we never get the fights we as fans would love to see.
Theses guy don't fight for nothing, a lot of people don't seem to understand boxing is a business
it always has been, it's a tough jobs getting seven bells knocked out of you so you can't blame
theses guy wanting as much money as they can.
