who has made more money as a prize (not pride) fighter i wonder, ggg or ward
how much would ggg get for another canelo fight?
I’m not sure why you believe career earning has anything to do with this discussion, since no one else mentioned it, other than yourself?

Ward simply answered a question he was asked.
And then somebody representing GGG on his Twitter handle responded.
Team Ward claim an offer was made. And Team GGG admit to rejecting that offer (regardless of their reasons, this actually happened).
Team GGG also repeatedly admitted to the media the fact they only wanted to face Ward at 164lbs, rather than 168lbs.

There are videos of Ward approaching Loeffler (back-stage attending an event), telling him to either make him an offer for a fight or to stop using his name to promote GGG, which was around a time when Gennadiy and Sanchez kept mentioning Andre during media interviews.
Tom Loeffler conceded their brief discussion actually happened (in videos recorded at the same event). And immediately afterwards, Team GGG refrained from mentioning Andre’s name.
I think Andre Ward was probably jealous of the fact that GGG was HBO’s darling fighter. The S.O.G. didn’t receive the recognition Golovkin received, even though his resume is superior than the Kazakh’s.
