Why doesn't the African American crowd gravitate to Ward like Mayweather?

Because floyd was a master at marketing himself,,,, Ward is much more subdued and reserve..
Floyd is outgoing like shaq, while Ward is quiet like Tim Duncan

Originally posted by Mr. Stark View PostI've noticed that they gravitate towards Mayweather more. Mayweather does really well with PPVs. There was a time where Ward was struggling to sellout his own venues. What gives? They are both talented boxers with great resumes but they gravitate towards Mayweather more. Does anyone know why? Is it because Ward doesn't flash money l, cars, and women like Mayweather? Or is there another reason? It has be something outside of boxing because they are both defensive fighters.

Plus he just doesn't seem like a fun guy.

It's because casuals are drawn to the hip hop and money lifestyle and trash talk that Mayweather brings to the table. Being undefeated and talented won over the boxing and sports crowd, but his personality and ability to market himself is what separates Floyd from guys like Ward. Plus Floyd had a lot more big name opponents than Ward.
Ward has the talent, but not flash or personality to draw in the casuals.

Does any crowd regardless of race gravitate to Ward like Mayweather? Roy Jones was never even a big PPV star. Mayweather is a PPV star because people of all races and ethnic groups, hardcore fans and casual want to see him fight. Mayweather is a great fighter but he's also great when it comes to marketing himself.
