So what? Is that what boxing is all about nowadays ... who gets the most viewers on US TV?

How many dozen times have you used TV numbers to justify why lil'G ducked Andre Ward ?


" not a draw, doe " LMAO

You and your ggg fanboys spent months bashing ward saying he's not a big enough name and not on ggg level yet you cry when people point out the same in regards to canelo compared to ggg. When the truth is the numbers say ggg and ward are about as similar as you can get while the difference between canelo and ggg is massive. Listen GGG and his fans were the first to scream A side to ward and after GGGs PPV flop and now Ward ratings the more it just exposes GGG for the fraud he is.

LMFAO..... I couldn't believe it when I read that

LOL, come on man you know why this is being mentioned..the entire excuse used for GGG's team not fight fight Ward was"HE IS NOT A DRAW".. which was complete bull****

You are forgetting that GGG was ready to fight Ward early in 2013 when he had no options at 160, but Ward wasn't ready for him.

You are also forgetting that HBO told them both back then that they weren't interested in screening a fight between them on PPV because NEITHER was a big enough draw.

Fast forward to last year, if that's not a contradiction in terms, lol. Now Golovkin has a unification fight lined up vs Lemieux and a contract from the WBC stating that he is next in line for the winner of Cotto/Canelo.

The fact is that Ward would need to be massive draw, on a par with Chavez Jr in 2012 or Froch in 2014, to make it worth GGG's while to deviate from his unification goals and move up to 168, with a 50/50 split, for Andre.

Ward wasn't that big of a draw and he still isn't. That's all GGG fans like me have been saying.

Probably a little disappointing considering the huge amount that HBO spent on this card for Ward's purse but about what I expected.

Relatively low compared to wards previous fights

You process information and arguments like a 5 y o child. There's no point me trying to discuss it with you.

I love how people actually argue numbers on here. These are average for hbo, not certain fighters except the big names. ggg and ward aren't there.

So the fans need to stop trying to justify this crap. Team ggg don't want it. Team ward moved on

Ward vs Kov is an actual matchup that neither fanbase is finding reasons to not happen. Let's keep it that way

Right..... the Kovalev fans want it, the Ward fans want it.....

..... it was lil'G and the G-strings who didn't want it.

I agree.........

Ward is NOT someone you want to hate on, because he'll consistently prove you wrong. Look at all the angry clowns in here either trying to pretend it isn't a big number or changing their tune about whether numbers matter. These fools are really going to have an ulcer in November.

kafkod preached the religion of " numbers doe " for MONTHS

GGG could of had him stripped or Cotto stripped before him. It's GGG who keeps agreeing to step aside and voluntary defenses. Why? Because he could give a rat's az z about that belt and wants the big pay day fight. GGG could of had Canelo stripped last dec if he wanted.

Team Canelo were given a good faith voluntary, the hope was he'd sack up by September, as his rep would lead you to believe. Turns out he's gonna duck Ggg even more shamelessly than the rest, so only a few more months and we'll be rid of this most fraudulent champ in the sport
