Why is Andre Ward wasting his prime? What is his problem?

This guy ****** or something?
Stop wasting your prime Andre. Get that money.

He's gonna be broke and living off Church Fundings at the rate it's going.

SMh.

He thinks he is going to make all this money and be a star if he gets rid of his promoter.

He wanted one of his partners to be his co-promoter along with Goosen. Goosen basically agreed via handshake, but renegged when the contract got signed leaving Ward's guy out.


Sucks because I'm a big Ward fan and would love to be seeing him in action, but he really feels going through this is necessary since he tried it before.

1: He thinks he's better than what he really is.
2: He doesn't sell.

He seems to be going the Winky Wright route

Better then what he is?? is talent can not be questioned... He may feel he is underpaid and want to go his own route..others have done this and made a killing, (Floyd, Oscar)..

Ward sees big money and he wants to be a part of the action. I think he believes Goosen can't take him to the next level and he's missing out on money/opportunities that would be available with another promoter.

Honestly, I think Goosen has done a very good job with Ward and it's likely that he'll never be a big star. He's destined to be the great fighter that isn't a major draw. This can be attributed to his personality or fighting style but whatever it is I don't see it changing.

As a fan (of Ward/boxing), I would like to see him in the ring often but the choice is solely his. Hopefully, his issues will be ironed out in the near future and he can get some big fights.

Poor Ward doesn't have the charisma of a Mayweather or the fighting style of a Pacquiao to become a big enough draw to justify the pay days he wants.

He's wasting his prime years and is probably gonna show slippage due to inactivity, people are already forgetting about the dude, casuals will lose interest, he's not the draw he thinks he is.

[TGD]

Ward cannot comprehend that he isn't a draw. He thinks he should be calling the shots, but the big fights and paydays are outwith his demands. Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, money calls the shots in boxing.
