Originally posted by hitking View PostYou have no clue WTF you're talking about. Boxing has been relegated to basically a cult sport nowadays. And its been that way now because of the lack of excitememt in the heavyweight division. And since Lewis-Tyson, boxing has basically been dead to the mainstream outside of DLH, Floyd, and Manny.
The blunt reality is nobody outside of hardcore fight fans give a **** about Andre Ward. And likewise, outside of hardcore fight fans, nobody gives a **** about Gennady Golovkin. That event has a ceiling of about 400K PPV buys today. This time next year, it will have a ceiling of about 400K PPV buys. And as long as both remain unbeaten, it will have a ceiling of 400K PPV buys. Ward's relevancy is just the latest excuse Team GGG has for avoiding an inevitable ass whip'n that will bring an embarrassing end to the hype train.

I cringe when I see so-called hardcore fans expressing obsession over a fight between 2 fighters in different weight classes. Is that what being a boxing fan all about now? You want P4P #2 fight a small guy who you yourself call an overhyped fighter? It's embarrassing. Where is the level playing field here? Tell me.

No one knows who the other 2 will be yet because Ward needs a 5 month break after fighting Paul Smith

while he was winning they would tell u he's a coke head..only that he goes to the local bar and hangs with the regulars like a good guy
but when he started losing all the BS that lead him there was revealed...he is a bit controversial..and he's a good talker too..always has been

While Ward is being pigeon holed by HBO who is sick of his games, GGG
Is being pegged as the man who possibly takes over after Mayweather leaves.

It's strange, but the Apple commercial probably helps.
Originally posted by Deevel916 View PostSo how did GGG (A Kazakh who barely speaks english) manage to sell out MSG then? Meanwhile Ward (An American gold medalists) cant sell out an inflatable circus tent in Oakland.
But your right.
Not to mention, Wards fight was in his own state.
Pathetic!

GGG is big dog status.
Ward is begging a man 20 pounds lighter than him for a fight, because if not, he has to face a guy his own size Kolalev.
And before you bring up Cotto/Canelo, let me handle that.
Cotto is smaller, but he is ring mag's top MW and the Lineal champ. GGG is the mandatory.
Canelo rehydrates higher than GGG. Canelo fights at 175, GGG at 170.
So if Canelo has the better resume, then why not call for him to fight Ward.
It's Hypocrisy. Period!
GGG has arrived, get ready to live with that fact.

remember canelo told oscar "get me lara!!"
lara is no name, but canelo could care less...it was about his status, his pride, and he knew he would make money too
i dont like the scores of that fight, but i do like the balls and heart he displayed by taking it....
i'm looking to give GGG that kind of credit, but he's hiding behind a promoter and deluded/upset fans
And Lara wasn't 12lbs heavier than Canelo, either.
