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

God is testing Wards faith at the moment, its up to Ward to understand why and how to follow the path set before him. Right now PPV seems out of the question due to inactivity. Perhaps one day he will once again clinch in the name of Jesus, making millions on a PPV.

There's no oscar for him to fight

The answers His fights are boring to everyone who isn't a ridiculous purist boxing nerd For a long time his persona was a really boring Christian guy, he's now replaced that with being a whiny little ***** He didn't capitalise on the super 6 which could have been a star making platform, instead he's fought like 3 times in 3 years and rows with his promoter

Mayweather was on PPV and making great money before that though, wasn't he? Ward could be in that same position if he wasn't screwing himself over right now. He was making pretty good money, I think Gatti and Judah (Baldomir as well?) were PPV bouts at around 300,000-350,000 buys which was pretty good. After the Dawson bout, Ward was basically in the same position that Mayweather was pre-De La Hoya; he get's paid good money, he'd been on PPV and had a good base to build on - Mayweather built on it and created a persona, Ward went with the semi-retirement idea instead.

I don't remember any 168-175 pounder being a big PPV superstar. Not even Roy Jones Jr. Nowadays, the bigger they are, the harder to sell. Just like the smaller, the harder to sell too. If you are in the middle, like 140-160 you have a better chance of making it to the big PPV stage.

Well Andre Ward doesn't fight ever, so that could be a main reason why. Just a hunch though

Mayweather got the De La Hoya platform, sold himself as a villain and it took off big time. Mayweather wasn't a draw either until that 24/7 'performance' and it propelled him more than anyone could have ever imagined. Ward doesn't have the personality to do that, nor does he feel any need to. Mayweather was on PPV and making great money before that though, wasn't he?

he should quit *****ing and complaining and start fighting ... move to light hunt down hopkins, stevenson and kovalev etc ... tonnes of really good fights for him there. How long has it been since he has had a big fight now? he should be prepared to go to England for froch etc etc does he do any of this? No

He is boring

Promoter problems He only wants to fight at home Stuck with HBO Has hand issues like Floyd But mostly promoter problems

This is fine... for a guy like you who isn't even capable to upload an image on this site... (How do you manage with the TV remote control?) como MD, don't be mean to brush :lol1:

Probably because guys like Chavez Jr. & that bum G whatever his name keep ducking him for easier fights....

Because he doesn't open his eyes fully.

Why isn't Andre Ward a big PPV Superstar like Mayweather He is undefeated but hardly anyone calls him out Hopkins and Golovkin keep on calling out Mayweather put do not seem interested in fighting or mentioning Ward. What is up with that??? No Knock outs, and he doesn't irritate people by flashing money or beating women

Maybe because he refuses to fight out of his hometown?

Cuz his fights are more boring than Mayweathers and he has no personality. Quiet guy while the other is a loud mouth.

I'd be willing to pay ppv money to see the hometown hero fight. This is fine... for a guy like you who isn't even capable to upload an image on this site... (How do you manage with the TV remote control?)

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.

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