    Even his home state California boxing fans BOOED LOUDLY when his name came up in a GGG post-fight interview.
    Talented fighter has everything you need to be successful but he lacks the charisma and he promotes himself in a bad way by acting like he is the A-Side speaking out in public how people should go up in weight for him or down w/e the problem probably stems from him wanting to be like Floyd Mayweather the only thing is I don't think many people care for him I mean for god sake George Groves and James DeGale are more known and liked by the public than Andre.

    He needs to change up his approach/act, nothing people dislike more than someone acting like something you're not.

      How's that compare?
      LMAO......never got a response on that one did you?

      325K is allegedly awesome but 163K is "garbage". Yet, 163K is 50% of awesome, so if half of awesome is garbage what is 400% of awesome?

          Wow even BounceTV (not included in my cable package) did better numbers than Ward on BET (included in my cable package; also included in up to 90 million homes), pretty sad.

                The amount of money roc nation lost on that fight is insane. Plus it was a time buy. No wonder they want to stick ward on the canelo-cotto ppv card.

                  LMAO no one cares about this ****** bum. He is going to HAVE to become relevant if he wants to fight Gennady, he doesn't have the credentials or the numbers to earn a shot at Golovkin right now.

                    You people do realize that not everyone has the BET channel right? I myself have a DISH with premium package (all channels) and I don't have BET. A lot of people who have a dish in other areas don't have the channel as well. Even some cable boxes don't have the BET channel. Showing this fight on BET was a business mistake and I don't blame Wards popularity for the numbers.

                      The business mistake was when Ward refused to take less than $2 million per tune up fight and was shown the door by both HBO and Showtime. The business mistake was Roc Nation thinking Ward was a draw and would bring in crowds and viewers and money instead of the chirping of crickets.

                      If Roc Nation had been smart, they would have worked out a deal with HBO where Ward would be paid a fair purse for a fighter who has not been in the ring in almost two years and had only fought twice in three years instead of going in making insane demands.

                      Now they are paying the price for their ******ity.
