GGG, his team and his delusional fans just got owned!

Its very sad when Andre Ward draws more than you!

I'm still trying to figure out how Ward doesn't make financial sense

Hey do you see the excuses? they are priceless... fighting in the summer hurts ticket sales.... Really? hum.....

[-PBP-]

Let me guess...it's Geale's fault somehow.

GGG have no ground to stand on right now. He will need to move up or down and take a risk.

It's tough to have a white vs white fighter and get good ratings. I am not saying GGG is white but he's perceived to be closer to white than, asian black or latino.

You either have latinos vs latinos, latinos vs blacks, latinos vs white, black vs latinos.

Remember Rigo vs King Kong - two black fighters, same ****ty ratings.

Interracial fights sell better - look at DLH vs Mayweather, Alvarez vs Mayweather

When was the last fight that had good ratings or that even went on pay per view b/w two white fighters, never?

Floyd fights pretty much only Latinos, the only exception was Mosley who had just destroyed Margarito in another interracial fight and had established himself as a name.

So GGG has to fight Quilin, Kirkland, Cotto, Ward, Canelo, - pretty much black and latino fighters as far as ratings go. That's what casual fans are about - they want to see a fight but if it's different races that's what it is all about whether you want to admit or not. Again, this is casual fans.
