    he's never done great ratings. 1.2 million people tuned in and 1.2 will never watch him again. don't fret ward there's still about 330 million other americans out there who haven't seen you fight. maybe you can trick them?

      Out of sight, out of mind?
      Pretty much, 1.2 million isn't bad for a returning fighter.

      Does anyone remember what Chavez v Vera did? he was coming back after a similar absence.

        He's been commentating though with the rest of the team sucking on his balls during the telecasts.

          you think a large portion of his fanbase died off in that time period?

              When a guy doesn't fight regularly interest drops off.

              In saying that, it didn't drop off by much, he hit 1.3 million v Dawson.

                i just don't see people saying "wow when is ward's next fight!" i dont think they will ever say that either. he's just too boring. if ward fought again next week would 1.2 tune in? no! they would probably cancel their hbo.

                    I agree. Only hardcore boxing fans will ever really be interested in Ward's fights. I think he knows that too, which is why he's targeting fights like Chavez and Froch who casuals do enjoy watching.
