NO! BOXING FANS NEED TO SUPPORT BOXERS BETTER IN GENERAL!

What is with trying to SEPARATE FAN BASES? Oscar, Tyson, they was PPV Kings not because they was just supported by their own but because they was Supported by ALL PEOPLE especially Oscar who had Fans of ALL RACES...not just Mexicans...in fact he was HATED by his own for years especially after the Chavez fight

Good post..

They didn't give Oscar any support until he beat Vargas..they had no choice but jock him after that...he was all they had until Arum manufactured "the most feared man in boxing"

Ward might need Bute more than ppl would like to admit

Yeah ! ! .......

[Hayehammer]

Thats very sad news! It was a big event! it was built really good by showtime!
Now that andre ward is on his own with just his promoter and no super six hype it will even get worse for him! Most fans dont like to watch him box!
No way they can built andre ward up as ppv fighter!

Yeah ! ! .......

Bute doesn't need that as.s-whipping.

This is the funniest thing ever.

I'll tell you why.

A few years ago, the standard line on here about Mayweather was, 'If Floyd wasn't so dang arrogant, if he stopped being bad and was a more polite and upstanding guy, he'd be popular and get lots of props!'

In fact, the poster javelin_fangs made a thread around this popular asseveration, posing the question, if it were true, why was an Olympic gold medallist and top prospect in Andre Ward generating so little buzz, fan acclaim and attention 3, 4 years deep into his pro career?

Three years and a winning Super Six campaign later, Andre Ward is, relatively, pretty much still in that same spot.


People on here are so full of ****, they squeak.

If Floyd has the nice persona he would be in a similar situation, a lot of people pays to see him lose, but hes more exiting than Ward tough, he is an a$$hole but he sell the fights like no one else.........Andre i think is genuinely friendly, have great personality (to much religion bs, but im ok with it) and great skills.......but if he wants more money and more fans he needs to change something.......or he will pass a a great fighter with a few dollars in his pockets and nothing more

[revs1227]

i was at the fight and the crowd was just pathetic ive been to soooo many fights in ac and this was terribleee
ward just cant sell

[noekin3]

Bute doesn't need that as.s-whipping.

Why not?....so he can keep fighting b level fighters?......he needs to step up, and Ward need more limelight......and more important is a great stylistic fight....it needs to happen

let me tell you something man...ward is garbage...yeah he got skills, but his fights are horrific to watch...with that boring style he has, he's gotta start getting some ko's, tko's, or at least some knockdowns to get the general fan interested...right now i'd rather watch roy jones get ko'd...

[Pacdbest]

This was mentioned in max boxing radio. Kind of sad this is all it gets after all the hype.

Because Ward Punch & Hug style is so Boring!! I got home & already rd 8, then I dont even bother to watch the replay!

I'm cutting my HBO & SHO by the end of the month!! They need to find new exciting talent! Even Canelo's last fight were boring!

[Pantera2000]

Ward will just go to HBO and become a star on that network. SHO doesn't build stars.

Ward isnt a star since his handlers do nothing to promote him. He needs to find the right people. An amazing fighter like this needs good people behind him.
