Roc Nation Sports signs Ward

Aparently Rigo going there too. Its a stupid move. Jay Z will not be able to secure any big fights for his fighters. Al Haymon wont match his guys against them. The only way Andre will get big fights is if he steps up or down in weight class but I doubt hell do that. He has a similar problem to GGG who will only get big fights if he moves up in weight. You can also argue the same for Rigo.

Ward and Rigo are two of the top 10 boxers. I agree that Haymon won't let any of his fighters face Jay Z's fighters, at least so far, that's what he's shown. Just look at Quillin not taking $1.5MM to face Korobov, or Santa Cruz avoiding Frampton or Rigo. But, that doesn't mean Ward can't become a champion again by forcing a mandatory with a Haymon fighter because the Haymon fighter will dump the belt, a la Danny Garcia-Postol and the aforementioned Quillin-Korobov.

I doubt Ward gives 2 fucks about titles. He wants a big money fight. And I dont think Jay Z can give them to him

[Master]

Ward is fighting and that is a good thing. That is all that matters.

You might be right, but I'm thinking Ward knows that titles usually mean more money. I'm also sure Roc Nation Sports isn't into promoting to give money away. Of course, I could be completely wrong, maybe they created the promotion company to help with taxes.
