Comments Thread For: Mayweather Shreds Andre Ward: Broner is More Known!

[Weebler I]

The nonsense about having the blueprint of how to sell-out arenas is just that, nonsense.

Paulie Malignaggi said how Floyd started to sell fights - by fighting Gatti, De La Hoya and Hatton. Before Gatti FMJ couldn't sell tickets himself despite being in the same position as Ward as one of the best out there.

Funny how he says boxers should stick to boxing. Wasn't George Foreman a church minsiter or something? Isn't Yuri Foreman training to be a rabbi? More ignorance from this idiot.

Floyd would tell you he's never heard of those guys. George..who?

The point is, he can become an even bigger fighter if he doesn't just fight in Oakland. Of course his skills won't diminish due to the location, but if he moves to Vegas and fights, he can finally get some people in the seats to watch him fight. The dude's an amazing fighter, but you gotta admit, fighting in Vegas would be a good move for him. Especially at this point in his career with all he's accomplished.

He sold 7,500 tickets and did a $750,000 gate in his last fight in Oakland. I don't think he does close to that in Vegas.

His only shot at headlining a successful PPV and generating a $1 million gate would be to fight Chavez Jr. at some point. But that highly depends on if Chavez Jr. decides to get serious.

Floyd is a very sensitive man. At times his sensitivity borders on paranoia. He hears hidden insults and ill-will in innocent comments by others. He needs to open up his heart and let people love him.

Maybe Ward can help him accept Jesus? Then they could join forces with Pacquiao and set up a Jesus/Boxing school, a bit like what happens at the end of Zoolander.

Ward is a the type of fighter Floyd will never be. A guy who faces the best and doesn't use excuses to duck fighters.


That's why Floyd is mad....along with the fact that Ward picked Guerrero over him.


Williams, Margarito, Pacquiao, Johnston and the list goes on....are several fighters that Floyd flat out refused to fight. Now looking at Ward....this guy will fight anyone and is what the sport needs right now.

Me criticizing him for fighting his first fights in Oakland during the SS tourney doesn't take away from him as a fighter and his accomplishments.....but good job trying to deflect,

deflect what. my 1st post in the thread said floyd is jealous over the gold medal and thinks ward should support him just because hes black.

your opinion about floyd facing the best is biased and has nothing to do with this thread.

If you say ward will fight anyone-but I swear you were saying he ducked Bute along with the complaints about oakland-those specific posts about him fighting everyone in this thread full of **** and contradictory.

your comments don't take away from what either has accomplished.

You can almost tell by reading this that Floyd is crying on the inside.

Poor little Andre is a better fighter than him and will fight anyone and now Floyd is uncomfortable.

Floyd ducked the hottest fighters in the hottest division.......Ward saw the challenges and made 168 his personal toilet.

Floyd "I'll never fight Paul Williams....he's too goofy"

We also know his million and one excuses not to fight guys like Margarito and Pacquaio.....but to be honest the most disturbing was the excuses not to fight PWilliams.

FWIW, you would never hear Andre make an excuse not to fight someone. He is a real fighter, a true throwback and what the sport of boxing needs. That bothers Floyd and you can see that in this interview.

too what extent are those "challenges" for ward being he's always fighting in his backyard?

I would love for Floyd to come to NYC. The Cotto fight was the perfect opportunity

But oh taxes *derp*

Just come to NYC Floyd...

I've heard worse suggestions. They've got to do something to open up his heart and show him it isn't shameful to feel vulnerable.

[The Big Dunn]

I agree.

That guy big Dunn is just using that to deflect from the fact that I called Floyd a cherry picker.

I think most criticized the fact he fought his first 3 fights of the SS in Oakland (which was fair criticism given the context) but when he went to AC and beat Froch on neutral ground that went out the door.

no i'm holding you accountable for previous posts about ward because i figured posters like you would switch up. but freedom didnt and you didnt so i cant say anything else.

I think he could do it with the right promotion. Not sure if he's ever fought in Vegas, but if they promote it right it could be big. Especially if he becomes the new P4P #1. They just need to hype him up some and give him a quality opponent. A Ward-Froch rematch if Froch beats Kessler could lend itself to that sort of promotion to put the fight in Vegas. Yeah, Ward beats him again, but the intrigue to see these two fight again would be big.

"I don't know no George Foreman, I don't know about him. All I know is he sells sandwich makers or something. Floyd Mayweather don't need no sandwich maker. I got the blueprint. I get all my sandwiches for free.

You know, I ain't never seen no sandwich maker box. He should leave the sandwich makin' to sandwich makers like Floyd Mayweather does. You know, he got all them sandwiches but I don't know who he is. Adrien Broner's better known than George Foreman and he ain't ever made no sandwich."
