    How Can They Make Andre Ward Lucrative?

    Highly skilled boxer, but what can do to make him in to a money machine, like Floyd, like Pac, like Cotto, like Canelo etc?



    Time is flying by, why doesnt Ward connect with the masses? what is wrong with him?

    Why doesnt the African American community get behind him?

    what black fighters have any sort of good fan-base that will come out in numbers and even travel :
    Terence Crawford

    no other black fighters get decent support until they're ppv fighters because they never bulit well in their home towns, well ward is built well in oakland and still doesn't sell so I see no hope for him.

      It's all about his style. If he was a killer he'd been ppv years ago. The only thing he can do is let some killers go out and develop themselves into a marquee name and then like a parasite knock them off. Enter Golovkin and Kovalev.

      Considering RN just lost over $3mill last night and will again on the next Ward fight, they need to poney up a big offer to Golovkin. If he wins, then take that momentum up to LHW vs Kovalev.

        Hes a class act, doesn't act ignorant, isn't ******.

        They don't care for that.

        Roc Nation will be out of this sport in no time. Haymon smashed them out pretty good as soon they tried to get in this sort.

          The man is boring. He is boring in the ring and he is boring out of the ring. He has the personality of a garden gnome.

            Look at the dirrell bros even without titles in a good fight they should sellout in Detroit but they wouldn't because between they've fought in their home state 8 times and 6 of those in their first twelve fights black boxers are built horrible and always have terrible fanbases. African Americans are **** fans to have.

              He needs to try to get the Irish-American community behind him somehow. Maybe start drinking Guinness.

                Roc Nation is doing an excellent job right now. Radio interviews, music concerts, introduce him to this fanbase that isn't familiar with boxing outside of Floyd.

                  Simply put, be active. He can't afford to take 8+ months off at a time, he should look to get back in the ring immediately, like in 1-2 months. Stay in the headlines, get people talking.

                    If he fought in boston or new york and always had an irish flag on his ring walk and trunks maybe they'd forget that they hate half of him and irish would come out and support him.
