        Andre Ward is the worst attraction in Boxing, he couldn't sell out a 4000 seat bingo hall in his home town.

          Actually the interviewer said Andre Ward can't sell, to which Floyd responded, "But I don't take anything away from Andre Ward. I like the kid." That's not exactly Floyd saying he can't sell. Just that in his opinion Broner would generate more business.

          As for my opinion, Andre Ward doesn't sell. He maybe could have if he was able to capitalize on 2011, but he didn't, and now he's going to have to climb uphill again. I think he still has enough time to become someone, but he needs to start proving his marketability while he's still prime physically.

            Ward did 1.3M against Dawson and 1.2M against Rodriguez. Those aren't bad numbers on HBO, even if he did get paid too much for them.

              Broner might generate more money in the short-term, but unlike Broner, Ward is a great fighter and will probably be at the top 8-9 years from now. Broner might not be relevant in 2.

                  Didnt take you long to turn around and make ANOTHER account huh? You gotta hold the record for most accounts created. Get a damn life. You're obviously not wanted here.

                    A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

                    Sure Broner might fall off in a couple years, and when he does you can find the next fighter de jour to promote. Meanwhile Andre had one of the most impressive years ever, was poised for super stardom, and then had 2 mild fights over 2 years, and didn't get back in the ring for the next 2 years. If I'm promoting, and all I care about are gate numbers and ratings/buys, I'd take Broner over Ward. Because there is nothing that says Ward is going to actually become marketable.
