Why isn't Andre Ward a big and famous PPV Superstar like Mayweather ?????

[fighter1234]

Because he never got to fight and beat the previous cash cow.

Thats how Floyd and Pacquiao became cash cows.

You can become a cash cow if you are a KO puncher also but Ward isn't one.

This is pretty much it. Ward needs that cross-over fight so that the casual fans know who he is. The closest thing he has near his weight class is B-Hop but even then he isn't that well known to casuals.

Because he is as dull as cement.

I guess he just doesnt have the it factor similar to bhop and shane (esp shane who was a explosive fighter, steroids coudve affected it, dunno) who both beat hoya but never got to be big draws themselves...and he aint annoying or stupid at all to get people want to watch just to see him lose....bhop is racist pos but when he speaks, he sounds like a smart man, but not annoying enough....ward clearly has the skills, unfriendly one at it so his only option is to be as ignorant, arrogant, and annoying like floyd or broner to be a big draw and he is too classy for all that imo.....

[bojangles1987]

Because he acts like he has Floyd Mayweather's drawing power and won't fight anyone.

Floyd Mayweather didn't become Money because of one stretch of good wins. He spent years winning fights and waiting for that Oscar fight to make himself a star. Ward seems to think he should have the same for 2 years of work.

If Andre Ward were regularly active, he'd be making some nice paydays. The man made 2 million to fight Edwin Rodriguez, imagine what he'd make for better fights than that.

Because he refuses to move up in weight and dominate a hot light heavyweight division while 168 is stale, he won't even fight, and expects to be a PPV star and is being a diva basically because he isn't and blaming Goosen who keeps KOing him in the first round in the legal ring.

because if you fight like a boring safety first fighter you better have some gimmick to milk or else you become andre ward.

[Craveman]

Too humble and I'm being honest. Americans got a thing for flithy rich celebrity with no modesty and rather watch them.

[betmen]

Not willing to take a risk, stay in already conquered Weight classes with inactivity make it worse.

[Weltschmerz]

Shoulder injury, promotional disputes with Goosen ... and as the rest of you guys say, he simply doesn't sell very well, and he isn't a self promotor type of person. Ward will not even have 1 fight this year, the longer he remains inactive the worse.

Another thing is even if he wasn't being a diva about his contract and Goosen wasn't KOing him in the 1st round in the legal ring.

He wanted to fight Chavez Jr. Like are kidding me? Are you that desparate to be a star? That's like if Hopkins beat up on Trinidad after Winky schooled him. He doesn't care about legacy, he wants to be Floyd and it's pathetic
