Why isn't Ward popular in America?

Time to go, happy new year to everyone!

what a terrible troll thread. I mean, no effort at all. this ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Home on New Years Eve, Joseph? Don't you have any friends? It's past 8:30 PM where you are. It's just past 5:30 PM here on the west coast so I'm still home, going to start getting ready to go out soon. By 8:30 PM I'll have arrived at a party. I'm at working, we're hosting a new years party for 300 people. Doors open at 9. But you have a good new years my little friend. :kiss:

The guys fights are boring as bat sh*t. You need to brg excitement or char to be a PVP star. He has none of that. I would neva pay to watch this guy fight.

You right about the bias, but it's against whites not blacks. If Ward were 100% black like Evander Holyfield or Floyd Mayweather the US media would love him. The people in the media know his father was white, so that's why they only half like him. I'm just teasing you bro. Happy New Year to you. You've got proof of this, right? Of course you don't.

Yes, I agree. It's because his father was a white man. :trink26: Why would his father affect his popularity lmao, unless you actually researched that his dad was white you'd never know ward has only mentioned his dad like once and showed a pic once lmao. You fail sir, pple don't like him because the us media has an agenda against black americans in America.

Despite Ward having by far the strongest resume at 168 and winning the S6 and DOMINATING his opponents with ease why isn't he a superstar in America? I think it has to do with his race, Yeah definitely his race. There is just something about a black American from America that Americans don't like. Please don't call him boring cause that'll just make you a racist in my book! I know right? I mean....Tiger Woods, Michael Vick, Cam Newton, Michael Jordan, Dave Chappelle.....all of those guys are hated to the full

he use the same style Hatton used when people in the UK was calling Hatton "THE GREATEST" Hatton did a ton of CLINCHING and Pushing to get on the inside of his opponents me personally I never had a problem with Hatton style, but I do see a double standard, it is OK when Khan and George Groves RUN during a match Like Khan did against Peterson and like Groves did against DeGales, they called it "fighting smart" and "Sticking and Moving" for them...but when Dirrell did it against Froch, they called it "RUNNING" Hatton fights inside and clinches and was called "TOUGH AND RUGGED"...Ward and Bradley does it, they get called "DIRTY" and "BORING" so no question it is a double standard as far s Styles Go, does Race plays a factor...for some with a 1960's mentality and a Inferiority Complex...ABSOLUTELY! then you have some who are just bias to their Fellow Countrymen as for Ward Popularity...with respect to Goossen/Tutor which is a decent Promotion...but they are not as big as Golden Boy or Top Rank, I don't think they have the Power or the Connections to make him a more Popular, trying to remember if Goossen/Tutor ever really built up a HUGE SUPERSTAR in boxing In The Past...I could be wrong but I don't think so, I guess you could say James Toney...but Toney was never a "MEGASTAR" or a HUGE DRAW in boxing, everybody is not going to become as big of a Draw as Pacquiao or Mayweather...it is not going to happen...Regardless, Ward can still make a Ton Of Money and go down as one of the greatest without being a "Major PPV Draw" his style is nothing like hattons...

:lol1::lol1::lol1: NSB is just pure gold... ontopic: ward isn't that popular because of his non appealing way of boxing. it's the same with many others like wlad, hopkins and so on you're a racist according to OP. :bottle:

Yes, I agree. It's because his father was a white man. :trink26: Ouch...it's gonna take a few new years bottles of rum for OP to live down the shame of that ownage

He doesn't have an all action style, and he needs to fight some big names. Kessler, Froch and Abraham aren't popular in the U.S. The main reason might just be because boxing in general isn't really popular in the U.S. It's not like football, baseball, basketball or even golf. I, for one, am a huge Ward fan though and have been since the beginning.

He's boring as hell

why wasn't john ruiz popular? he was champion in the most popular division. i'm sure it had nothing to do with his style. he just had a boring personality. it probably would have helped a lot if ruiz had learned english earlier in his career

He need some big fights and to make him self know drop a weight class and fight Martinez and go up an fight Dawson that would make him a star reason why. No fighter is a star anymore is because there's no big fights and even matches he needs to fighter people that have name that have a style that makes it hard for him he needs a trilogy :)

dropping the nickname would be a start

and why does it have to be racial? Black people can show up to his fights and tune into watch them on showtime...but they don't. Same goes for Bradley, so i guess blacks are racists for not supporting there own fighters?

Not a KO artist, not a trash talker/entertainer.

same reason pernell was not popular, he's not exciting and he is not entertaining. I personally enjoy watching his fights, but most people don't like technical fights.
