Andre Ward is the perfect fighter for CBS/NBC

[Sceptic]

After winning the Super Six impressively, I doubt NBC could afford him.

Why do people find Ward boring? Against his best opponents, he has never been boring. Yeah, it's boring to watch him beat up on Allan Green, but were people honestly bored watching him fight Kessler or Froch?

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

Ward's style is too boring for prime time... Rios would be a good prime time fighter

Agreed..........

they cant afford him.

its a shame though, ward is exactly the kind of fighter we need on network TV. boxing "fans" are so ignorant these days, they dont know **** about boxing so anything other than a brawl and they think its boring.

but the sport is called boxing not brawling, its the sweet science, the art of hitting without getting hit. how are you gonna turn on a boxing match and get mad because they are boxing lol.

but thats modern fans for you and its exactly why the sport is in decline. back in the day technical fighters like ward were highly appreciated for their skill and ability, ppl enjoyed watching guys like him fight. crazy i know, boxing fans enjoying the art of boxing. those are the fans we need back in boxing.

so we need guys like ward out there for everyone to see. i was drawn to the sport by technical fighters, not some meat heads taking turns punching eachother with no skill involved.

a lot of fake fans will get turned off by ward but who gives a ****? its the ppl who would become real fans of boxing and appreciate it for what it is that we need to get into the sport. if you really love boxing you will enjoy ward fight, the man is poetry in motion and he embodies what the sport is all about.

Yes he is if CBS/NBC wants to go out of business.A lot of Wards fights are not exciting to watch at all and he`s not all that charismatic.But he is a great fighter though.

I know Floyd`s contract with showtime is tearing the haters up inside including the thread starter so i suggest you haters get some therapy before you people do something destructive.

He's a big name to boxing fans and an olympic gold medallist yet he isn't overly full of himself or so over paid they can't afford him. He'd also attract plenty of attention from the religious crowds.

He's bound to attract bigger numbers than Santa Cruz or Adamek-Cunningham. If you consider that the Adamek-Cunningham fight reached 3.9 million in a horrid timeslot you can probably guess that it would have done sub 400k on HBO. So take someone who was in a 1 million plus fight on HBO and do the math for NBC and we could make Ward into a huge name very quickly.

Image wise couldn't agree more. Style wise I don't know but you can always match him with guys to make him look good. If I'm hbo/nbc I'd put the bhop ward fight on nbc not ppv.
