    Why doesn't the African American crowd gravitate to Ward like Mayweather?

    I've noticed that they gravitate towards Mayweather more. Mayweather does really well with PPVs. There was a time where Ward was struggling to sellout his own venues. What gives? They are both talented boxers with great resumes but they gravitate towards Mayweather more. Does anyone know why? Is it because Ward doesn't flash money l, cars, and women like Mayweather? Or is there another reason? It has be something outside of boxing because they are both defensive fighters.

      Ward's popularity will skyrocket if he manages to beat Kovalev. Trust.

          Some don't like Ward cause he got a black mammy.. Others don't like him cause he got white daddy.

            Ward s clean cut. Americans are fascinated with the ****** hip hop rich lifestyle. They are the demographic.

                    They do gravitate toward him.

                    He's not as popular because his style is less entertaining and he's a lot less outspoken. His division isn't as exciting as Welterweight and he never had a megastar opponent like Oscar to catapult him to fame like Floyd did.
