Josh Dubin contacted RingTV at Ward's request to respond to recent quotes from Sanchez, specifically that Ward had lost bargaining leverage due to recent inactivity. Dubin further said Ward's team was "perfectly willing and able" to make the fight.

This is the key quote that seems to be stuck in the Ward team's craw:

"If a fight with Gennady could be discussed, the fact is that Andre is on an island with the belief that he can demand terms," said Sanchez. "That makes it un-makeable and un-workable when he wants the major portion of the money."

Dubin called that view "fantasy" and blamed the high mountain air in Big Bear, CA, where Golovkin trains with Sanchez. He continued:

"All you have to do is look at the ratings that these two men draw. Let's start with the ratings. Andre Ward, coming off a major shoulder injury and layoff of over a year did a 1.3 million rating on HBO," said Dubin. "Gennady Golovkin just fought was was supposed to be the biggest fight of his career in the biggest room in Madison Square Garden with the most fans there, and that was his big night...You know what he did? A whole lot of nothing. He did half the ratings that Andre Ward did."

There's lots more in the RingTV article, and Mr. Dubin seems to be adding fuel to fire here, almost in a promoter-ish sort of way. He kinda/sorta opens the door to Andre coming down in weight, but it more sounds like they'll be expecting Golovkin to come up to 168.

Chatter is building for this fight and, personally, I'd like to see it because I think GGG can at least make Ward uncomfortable, something no previous foe has done. Perhaps early 2015?
