Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Explains Situation With Andre Ward

[SugarRaRobinson]

Doubt it. Unlike Lemieux, casuals dislike Ward's style and that's who you're trying to sell the PPV to. On top of that, Ward wants more money, and doesn't bring an extra revenue stream like Lemieux Canada PPV.

If anyone dislikes Wards style because they think he's boring (another myth) they shouldn't be watching boxing at all because they clearly have not a clue as to what they are watching . Haters attempt to marginalize Ward by saying he holds and headbutts too much , another myth , as he hasn't fought that way since the super 6 , but it's still used as an outdated excuse to marginalize him . All we've gotten from Ward since the super 6 has been pure action , a laser precision jab , Ken Norton like hooks and overall ring generalship and domination . So if anyone thinks that's boring then they don't have a problem Ward , but instead have a problem with boxing !

Unless ur suggesting that fans only like the styles of KO artist ? if so , we both know those aren't real boxing fans .

Translation= We know we would be getting a guarantee loss so we don't want the fight.

These Haymon fanboys are fond of mismatches. Exactly why don't you people want a more competitive fight like Ward vs Kovalev?

What does Haymon have to do with Ward ? Please advise !

blah blah blah

[SugarRaRobinson]

uh what does that have to do with Ward? Mayweather is PPV attraction #1, Ward last fought on BET with 300k viewers.

P4P superstars fighting each other can command significant PPV #'s , but when they fight cans , it's usually a paltry result . ie = it's about the match ups , not how many fans or views an individual p4p superstar has while fighting cans

Except Ward is not p4p right now, and has never been a star even, much less superstar. Those don't get 300k viewers on BET

You GGG fan boys are the non sense, Why Ward have to move up but is ok for GGG to call out Floyd Maywether? GGG has been facing bum and the reason he is seling is because the ticket prices are like a raw fish $50 (general) to $500 (ring side). So stop making arguments that doesn't have any value. GGG is fighting a guy who was KO by the bum of Rubio in a PPV. Ward already have in his resume Bika, Abraham, Froch, Kessler, Dawson and Green.

Everyone GGG is fighting now is in the top 10 of MW, the division he is trying to unify.

Ward just fought Paul Smith....needs no further explanation.

The Super 6 was a damn long time ago, so long ago that only one original contestant besides Ward is still fighting, the rest have retired.

And while we are talking about ticket prices, Ward-Smith tickets ranged from phukking $30-$125 (THE TRUTH. Yeah, tickets to see your hero in action cost less than a blow job from a crack whore. Now that truly IS a "good value".
