Ward has to pack fights with comp'd tickets in his own hometown and only 323k bothered to watch him on national tv, nobody gives a **** about Ward because his style is not exciting. Andre Ward's the one waiting on Golovkin because he needs to fight someone exciting in order for anyone to care about his fights.

Golovkin's style attracts fans. 9,300 people didn't pay to see Golovkin fight Rubio or 12,500 pay to see him fight Monroe, or 8,500 to see him fight Geale, just because some internet reporters asked Golovkin about Ward and Golovkin said sure when I'm done with MW. Golovkin does better gate & tv against low-name fighters like those then Ward did vs Dawson and Froch.

And this would be Andre Ward, a proven commodity, as the co-main for a huge PPV fight. It's nothing but a good thing for Ward and will bypass a lot of the work he will otherwise have to put in to reestablish himself.

Just like Ward because of their safety first style, they will never be able to bring the money they think they deserve. And because of this time will pass and they'll just keep making themselves irrelevant in boxing no matter how good they are.
(He's boring) . Is any black fighter not boring to u people ? I gotta call a spade a spade , ur just color conscious , to put it in a polite way !

Ward should fight a bunch of cans too, just like GGG. If he knocks out one Paul Smith after another he'll look like a monster and all the idiot, no-nothing fans will jump on his bandwagon.
Then again he doesn't have the right skin color for some of them so this might not work.

The same can't be said about certain Ward haters. The venom he draws despite being a classy, well spoken gentleman says it all.
