Props to Pascal. He fulfilled his contract, & had options to sign anywhere he wanted, but decided to just start his own promotional company. He's free to fight on whatever network he wants.

I feel this is what Ward should have done man. Just fulfilled the contract. My understanding is each time he sues, he potentially adds more time to his contract. Here's an example

Arbitrator upholds promoter's deal with Andre Ward - ESPN

In December, Goossen asked the commission to arbitrate a second dispute over the length of the agreement. He argued that Ward should be under contract for 16 more months due to time missed for injuries as well as Ward's reluctance to allow him to set up his next fight. Ward's side said it didn't recognize the commission's authority, but said any extension should be for no more than six months. The promotional agreement between Ward and Goossen gives the commission the authority to decide any issues in arbitration, according to the ruling.

Foster ruled the contract should be extended for 14 months, a clear Goossen win.

I have a feeling I'm going to be bringing this quote back up sometime in the near future. :sas1:
Like I have said...I don't see BHop weathering the storm. Experience and chicanery only gets you so far when facing a talented younger, stronger guy with devastating KO power.

BHop vs. "a talented younger, stronger guy with KO power" and questionable stamina? :sas1:

I think I've heard this story before so I already know the ending.
