    Tell your boy hero Ward to man up and find the testicles to fight Stevenson and Kovalev. There is nothing left for Ward at 168, so why is he waiting for smaller guys to move up instead of fighting champions at 175? GGG still has some fights at 160(Murray, Quillin, Soliman). So who looks like a coward now?

      I bought six tickets and going with a group of friends. I can't wait for this fight.

      Everyone needs a little perspective here regarding his drawing power and marketability. GGG has only been fighting on American TV for 2 years. In that time I think it's pretty remarkable to be headlining MSG and doing the numbers he does on HBO. This is years faster than most even PACMAN. Being form Jersey I love the fights being in NY. I can just take the train to Penn station and take in his fights. I was there for the Stevens fight and hopefully they continue the tradition at MSG.

          I expect a calmer crowd this fight, being there is no hometown fighter. There were about 4 fights that broke out in the crowd the night of the stevens fight.

            StubHub only has 34 tickets left and Ticketmaster is almost sold out as well, so it seems a number of tickets have gone since this article was published.

            5.5k isn't poor for a guy who has been on the US scene for only two years and isn't facing a well-known opponent. GGG's TV rating are also fairly good, so while he's not a huge draw he's a solid one.

              If Andre Ward drew 5.5k certain posters on here would be laughing at him and talking trash about how he has no fans.

                Then I can only imagine how they reacted when Ward drew only 4.1k in his last fight.

                  Anyone know if there are free streams for this fight legally?

                  Boxnation doesn't have it and I am from the UK.

                      As you can imagine they reacted much differently than how they did when GGG drew that many against Rosado.
