What Andre Ward fight would make a good PPV fight?

Definitely Chavez, Jr. I'm actually surprised how many of you guys find Ward boring. A few months ago, everyone was saying he's P4P #1, they love watching his fights, etc. I like Ward, but his fights can be just horrible to watch. The Froch fight was exciting(because of Froch imo), but a lot of his previous fights were snoozefests (the Green fight, my god). Chavez, Jr. would definitely help sell the PPV. But really, who can Ward fight around his division that would get people excited? His only downfall is being in such a limited weight class. Could you imaging his options if he fought around 147-160? Then he could sell a PPV no problem because he'd have a B side in the promotions.Comment

Ward could get a PPV fight in the UK or Europe with Froch/Kessler. He's quite popular here
He may be boring, but so is Mayweather. You watch for the technical mastery more so than the fight. The only thing Mayweather has more is his personality which makes ppl watch him to lose, which Ward would never establish anything likeComment

Martinez pulled 600k viewers for the Murray fight and Chavez Jr still managed to do all by himself 500k PPV buys. He was also facing Canelo the same night and he still managed to do the same numbers of the Cotto-Margarito fight.. Ward-Chavez Jr with a good 24/7 can easily do more than 600k PPV buys.Comment
