question: why do ward fans make fun of 97k when he's never headlined a ppv himself?

    That doesn't explain the endless amount of threads criticizing him...the ward ggg situation was done with a long time ago.

        Ward Fans? WHO Exactly? Name Them!

        I see Canelo fans mocking 97K the most so how does Ward get dragged into this?

            he did volunteer however when the actual negotiations came up (the stuff that matters) dawson requested the fight to take place at 170 and ward shot it down quick.

              He should have not offered to go to 168.....he got what he asked for

              Moments after outpointing Bernard Hopkins by majority decision for the WBC and Ring Magazine light heavyweight titles, Chad Dawson immediately called out Andre Ward to fight him next. “I would love to fight Andre Ward,” Dawson (31-1, 17 KOs) told HBO’s Max Kellerman. “Bad Chad” then shared he could "get down to 168" or make it at 175 pounds if necessary.

                97k pretty much stuffed a sock in their mouths.

                Few people want to see GGG do poorly, but a lot of people are offended by Lemieux being sold as a PPV headliner, and a lot of others are tired of hardcore ggg fans going off about how everything he does is perfect.
                97k was a healthy dose of reality.
                Basically this. They bragged about being on PPV, how mauch of a star he was, and how much he'd sell. It flopped. They went nuts.

                  Ward was coming off the super6 win, and dawson was coming off beating hopkins.

                  168 champ vs 175 champ,, both in their primes

                  That just shows no one has faith in andre Ward as a legit superstar...

                  A star, just not a superstar
                  It would of been PPV in this day and age. 2012 was still good for HBO so they could afford it, now guys like crawford already get ppvs lol

                    how does this logic work?

                    and i'm no ggg nuthugger either, i just call it like i see it.
                    What if we're also Mayweather, Pacquiao, Canelo, Cotto fans?

                      that's not the case. only ward fans make fun of 97k. everyone else says it was rather expected.
