I'm telling you that's the case with me. As a Ward, Pacquiao, Cotto, Caneo, and Mayweather fan I make fun of 97k
How you losers keep telling yourself and others that false number just shows you can't be taken seriously.
Over 150k is the real number and the PPV did a profit. Is that bad? No, is it great? No.
For a first PPV 150k for a Kazakh fighter in the US is really decent.

Strange that all real boxing sites reported the fight did 150k+ huh?
who is calling him great? he's a knockout machine who is fun and exciting to watch. but he is not great because no one wants to fight him, the onyl way to become great is to beat other greats, and if other greats run away like ward did how is he supposed to earn that title?
No one on earth thinks Kov is an easier fight than gg for ward :lol1: ward would bully little g
These fools still bring up that fake number from Twitter guy even though all official sites reported it did over 150k.

While fighters like Cotto did 50k in his first PPV and i think Crawford will probably do less than 150k as well.
GGG is also much more popular now than he was back then, you realize he is the only fighter in sport who sells out huge venues all over the USA and now even in the UK
He does what a world champion has to do, fight all around the world, not like some of these fake champs who only sit in their backyard with all the advantages in the world and otherwise duck all offers (like Ward never travels outside the USA, even refused a huge rematch vs Froch in England, while GGG accepted the fight in a heartbeat)
Amercians are desperate for some guy because since their beloved God aka womenbeater IVloyd is gladly retired. Ward has no charism and is not exciting, but fights rather dirty, thats why he barely has any fans and that's why there is barely any hype for Ward fights whatsoever.
What if we're also Mayweather, Pacquiao, Canelo, Cotto fans?
that's not the case. only ward fans make fun of 97k. everyone else says it was rather expected.
Looking back on ward's career, I'm kinda shocked hbo didn't PPv the dawson fight..
Ward was coming off the super6 win, and dawson was coming off beating hopkins.
168 champ vs 175 champ,, both in their primes
That just shows no one has faith in andre Ward as a legit superstar...
A star, just not a superstar
It would of been PPV in this day and age. 2012 was still good for HBO so they could afford it, now guys like crawford already get ppvs lol
It has nothing to do with Ward. It has to do with obnoxious little GGG fanatics saying he's a star, big-money, A-side, good-dog, yadda yadda yadda.
97k pretty much stuffed a sock in their mouths.
Few people want to see GGG do poorly, but a lot of people are offended by Lemieux being sold as a PPV headliner, and a lot of others are tired of hardcore ggg fans going off about how everything he does is perfect.
97k was a healthy dose of reality.
Basically this. They bragged about being on PPV, how mauch of a star he was, and how much he'd sell. It flopped. They went nuts.
he did volunteer however when the actual negotiations came up (the stuff that matters) dawson requested the fight to take place at 170 and ward shot it down quick.
He should have not offered to go to 168.....he got what he asked for

Yea cause Dawson didnt call him out after Hopkins 2 and volunteer to go to 168 on live tv

Ward Fans? WHO Exactly? Name Them!
I see Canelo fans mocking 97K the most so how does Ward get dragged into this?
They fear Ward so much they make up a fantasy of Ward running to 175 to duck GGG...man you cant make this sh1t up
don't forget ward drained him down like a dog and made sure he was a skeleton before he took on dawson.

We just wanted GGG to fight Ward and his fans gave every excuse why it shouldnt happen but wanted Floyd to fight GGG..Seems like GGG doesnt have to do anything great to be called great
...and his career will probably finish that way. He's on the decline already...that's why his team is chasing the canelo payday.
That doesn't explain the endless amount of threads criticizing him...the ward ggg situation was done with a long time ago.
he ran from 168 to 172 then 175. u may be right about it only being 1 division, but he likes to play with weight like the rest of em.
yes, he did not want to entertain a fight with ggg. so instead he went to kovalev who he saw weakness in from the hopkins fight
He moved up after GGG refused to fight him....but you already know that you are just trolling with this alt account

You are fvcking delusional..Ward was stalking GGG for a fight
don't forget ward drained him down like a dog and made sure he was a skeleton before he took on dawson.
Don't forget dawson called him out, and wanted it at 168 to take ward's belts

Nothing you just posted is true...not even close
1-How did Ward run up 2 divisions
2-So he ducked GGG to fight Kovalev??

because ward is an insignificant annoying bug who won't go away. he ran up two entire weight classes to avoid ggg but luckily for us he will get stmped out by kovalev in a few months. then he can go away for good.
