Who's to blame for the low turnout to Ward-Barrera?

[Raonic]

He doesn't appeal enough to the public. There's not enough hardcore fans to fill a stadium. The casual fans make up a sizeable chunk of attendance and TV views and his style, along with his lack of charisma, don't appeal to them.

Well Lemieux had at least a reputation and some follow up ... Barrera had none of those, and still doesn't...

What reputation did Lemiuex have? Nobody knew him. Just as nobody knew Monroe or Barrera. Not sure why its hard to say that ward simply does not have a crowd pleasing style.

It's ward 100 %!
His style is not appealing. My brother in law said after Saturday that GGG would kill ward. I told him styles make fights and ward is a superior boxer plus ward is huge. I think ward easily out boxes GGG.
Back to my point my family are casuals and they were all bored watching the fight.

Don't worry about that for ''HBO's World Championship Boxing''

There are 2 Million ***s in NYC, and 800,000 Puerto Ricans

Yankee Stadium can fulfil 30K seats.

Yuri Foreman (the ''***ish Champion'') vs Miguel Cotto - the PR King. They only sold 20K.

So the pop quiz, how many ***ish to PR fans came?

How many Ward to Barrera fans came?

***s don't watch boxing bro

Ward needs to fight outside of Oakland and realize that the boxers doing huge numbers actually have people traveling to see their fights.

How popular would a rock band that toured only one city over and over be? How many album would they sell?

What's his obsession with Oakland? Is his confidence that low? Obviously it's not a financial decision.

Hauser. Arum. Bert Sugar. Bernstein. Farhood. Skip Bayless

[Willy Wanker]

It's not the fighters' fault, it's the fans' fault for not knowing **** about boxing and not willing to pay to see Ward.
