Will Andre Ward ever be a PPV star?

[BattlingNelson]

He's still young. If he keeps on winning the way he did against Dawson, he'll get on fat yank PPV.

He can get on danish PPV now though. By fighting Kessler in Denmark. But we all know that wont happen.

Well I suppose I'd better start buying 2 PPVs at a time to help him in this process.

Seeing as how Ward is getting ready to be my #1 favorite active boxer after JMM and Cotto retire I need to start selling more PPVs for Andre

He is clever,wellspoken, and is anything but controversial.

If he killed someone his stock would rise ten fold

He should start by beating his wife and work up.

How many PPV 'stars' have there been anyway? The most recent two were launched to that level by Oscar.

Who wants PPV stars anyway? PPV events are what you want, match-ups that are worthy of the price. There haven't been a whole lot of those lately.

But I can see him earning that kind of popularity...But the right opponent will be key..In Wards case(to be on PPV),he's going to need a very good opponent..Although he is being promoted very well..You see him calling fights on HBO and he talks really well..I can see Ward becoming a star tbh..

I totally agree..PPV will have to start being great match ups..

As a Ward fan, I hope he does get a couple of good pay day PPV's but I dont see any in the near future which is a shame because his last fight he not only showed his boxing superiority but his power. I think Ward wouldve had at least one PPV by now if he wouldve focused the main part of his career at 160. Wards a small SMW and his power just barely caught up with him at 168, had Ward been at 160, he wouldve had at least a couple of highlight reel KOs to at least get him 1 PPV. Sad thing is now that Wards body size is matching with power, he already has a label as a boring fighter, which is by far from true.
