    As much as I like Andre Ward as a fighter...

    He's a sucker when it comes to the business side of things

    And that hurts his career

    - Suing the promoter with no chances of winning the case

    - Signing with Roc Nation, the company who's new to the business with no experience and who can't get him meaningful tune ups and made press conference somewhere on a beach with random bums watching

    - And now Kovalev and Ward both coming off two unimpressive wins where they didn't show even half of their potential and that's awful for selling the future fight. It'd be much better if they were coming off Pascal/Barrera wins

    -And right now, he's in a position where nobody wants to fight him - he even doesn't have no belts, but is still a high risk

    All that stuff hurts his career, it's actually sad since he deserves a lot of credit

    But these casual boxing fans would rather watch Pacquiao beating some bum or hope for Floyd's comeback

    I understand that a great fighter doesn't have to be great businessman at all. But Floyd Mayweather proved that a great fighter can be a good businessman as well.
