      because he doesnt act like some contrived ignant ass wanksta with a fake personality like floyd.

      if ward dropped the whole god act and went lifestyle ignant, trifling and racist like floyd you can bet he will be selling million plus ppvs.

      sex, violence, and ******ity sell in america.

      btw, ward doesnt care.

        Nope. Look at the facts. Paydays and splits for the Super 6 were all guaranteed beforehand so regardless of "popularity" Ward has made just as much money in the past couple years as guys like Froch, Kessler or Abraham. In fact he has probably made more than any of them because the Dawson fight likely netted him as much or more than anyone else has made.

        I remember the Brits being all about the "payday means everything" when it came to David Haye. I think Ward is satisfied with being the highest paid fighter at his weight and being universally recognized as the best fighter at his weight at this point in his career.

        Mayweather was already a well established champion before he started making serious money. Ward doesn't have that kind of upside $$$-wise but who is to say where his career will go from here and how he will evolve as a fighter. I thought the Dawson fight was a great performance and if he continues to move in that direction his fanbase will grow and grow.

              Floyd, Pac and Hopkins were also only known by hardcore fans before they fought Oscar. Problem with Ward is that he can't fight against Oscar to launch is career as a star

                      Ward needs la vaca de dinero to stop taking those diuretics.
