I thought they said he couldn't draw though?

They also said Kovalev can't draw, yet he gets similar numbers

You are missing the point again.

All that "168 for Chavez Jr and Froch but not for Ward stuff" was irrelevant because Chavez Jr and Froch out-sold both Ward and GGG.

Golovkin would have been the B side against either of them and he accepted that fact to try and make those fights.

The only way you can confidently say that is if GGG-Wade pulls in the same amount of viewers. I think you and I both know which fight will generate more viewers...

You guys both sound desperate to clutch onto any point you can and both are unconvincing. Seriously, go pick a different argument. It'll be less frustrating for you. Ward did a great number. It's good for boxing. If you're angry go exercise or something.

All this tells me is that Ward/GGG are roughly the same as far as drawing power with Gennady slightly more popular

GGG might avg 100k -200k or so more viewers and pull in about 3-4k More fans per event but basically in the same ballpark

It just makes K2 and Abel look ****** when they say Ward isn't in their league because he clearly is.

Exactly !! They were dumb for using that excuse, and the fanboys were dumb for running with it.

-They said no one will fight him. Turns out it's he who won't fight anyone.
-They said he's a star. PPV flops and he's bent over a barrel w/ Canelo.
-They say Ward is irrelevant. Ward does a ggg-sized figure in his comeback.

I think he draws a less educated hardcore fanbase and they inevitably are going to say ******, indefensible things. I actually LIKE him as a fighter and really enjoy watching him fight, but I learned years ago not to defend the actions of someone just because you like them. You can't win when you base your integrity on someone else's actions.

There are no facts to sustantiate the bolded. Unless you are going to count wanting to fight for world titles in your own division at the divisional limit as "won't fight anyone"

Other than the fact that Golovkin COULD have fought Mora/Lara/Ward/Cotto/Canelo..... and yet, he CHOSE not to..... LMAO

The only annoying thing about this thread is that Golovkin haters like you insist on using Ward doing OK numbers - great is really taking it too far - as a reason to start shitting on GGG and his fans.

You forgot to add Kel Brook to that list.

You're off your game today mate.
