Ward's tickets this Saturday

Yeah i didnt like that either but its Roc-Nation so gotta expect it on all shows that's true, plus BET

Yea it was cool, $35 for parking wasn't though wtf was that about. "music performance" was garbage though. Really could've done without that nonsense Yeah i didnt like that either but its Roc-Nation so gotta expect it on all shows

Did you go? I went and it was fun. Granted i went to the game next door too so the alcohol, among other things, was flowing through me already but i thought it was lively and had a good time Yea it was cool, $35 for parking wasn't though wtf was that about.

waiting for a cut at the barber shop, dude walks in asking who wants tickets, I said you got 2, he said he got as many as I need. Did you go? I went and it was fun.

It's in Oakland. Who cares if it's free, it's in Oakland. That town sucks :fing26::fing26::fing26: Oakland has it's rep, but it is nice. Go to the hills, Piedmont, etc and you'll see

so parking cost $35. $35?!?!?!. It wasn't even that high ($30) during the warriors playoffs. But I guess Oracle has to make their money some place seeing as how tickets to the "event" were being handed out for free at the local barber shops and shoe palace's. One nice highlight of the night however was seeing that big nosed 9ers quarterback idiot get booed. The "music" entertainment was more garbage live than on TV, at least on TV could change the channel.

Casual fans love the knockout, but they don't understand basic concepts of boxing. Just like casual hockey fans get bored watching a 1-0 game or a 0-0 game that goes to overtime but they love a 7-0 blowout. They do not understand the intricacies of the game and the defensive skill required to keep a game close or scoreless. But by the same token, a 0-0 game that has one team on constant offense and the other team only on defense with no offense at all and who can only stay in the game because of a hot goalie, has no balance and no entertainment value for even the most knowledgeable fan. There has to be a balance between offense and defense. Given the choice between watching one or the other, 95% of people will choose to watch pure offense over pure defense.

Casual fans love the knockout, but they don't understand basic concepts of boxing. And that basic concept is entertainment.

"never argued that he is a PPV star" lmao really? you've never heard him? and since you're bringing up GGG into the convo, all I know is someone from KAZAKSTAN, is more popular than Ward in the US. Funny you mention "I have no doubt" without showing the FACTS. Casual fans love the knockout, but they don't understand basic concepts of boxing.

Free tickets to see one of the best fighters around... Complains that Ward isn't a big star.... fake ass boxing fans.

Shirley's butt I dont believe you. Show that butt. :)

oh i couldn't find the numbers for that fight but yes he's steadily gone downhill over the years because of his boredom. they gave him a look and decided nope he's not for me. he's trash. Source: http://www.myboxingfans.com/2009/11/ward-defeats-kessler/ Maybe there was 5k giveaways though...

Surely a butt. ;) Slowly butt surely. :lol1: Shirley's butt

There was 10,277 in attendance for the Kessler fight, so it appears as if that was the high point and then people has slowlybut surely drifted away. oh i couldn't find the numbers for that fight but yes he's steadily gone downhill over the years because of his boredom. they gave him a look and decided nope he's not for me. he's trash.

ward was never a big draw. the dawson fight was his high point at 7000. froch, abraham, rodriguez did 4000-5000. this fight against smith they are giving away tickets. people came to see him and instead of his numbers going up like ggg they went down which means they didn't like what they paid for.

As much as I think Ward is a great boxer, he is fighting a guy from the contender TV show...
