Listen to what Floyd really thinks about Ward when he was asked about him by Floydhype:
Floyd Mayweather: I sold out an arena in the Bay Area maybe 12 or 13 years ago. Listen, I don't know how many people exactly live in Oakland, but I love the fans in Oakland. Not knocking Andre Ward, but he can't sell tickets nowhere. He can't sell tickets in Las Vegas. This is the only guy I know that's a gold medalist, but don't nobody know he's a gold medalist. He's a gold medalist, but he's making money like he don't even got a medal. Like I said before, Andre Ward, he's a good fighter, but who knows him? If you're not in Oakland, you don't even know who he is. He's getting older and time is ticking, so I mean, when is he going to ever leave Oakland and put assess in seats somewhere else?
That was 3 years ago, but nothing has changed, it got even worse, since then Ward fought 3 nobodies, of course in Oakland and still barely sold any tickets and had terrible ratings.
People might think now that Kovalev gave him the chance to get into a huge fight, Ward will finally get out of his bitterness and negativity but Ward is already sabotaging the promotion for the fight, not showing up to the presser, cancelling the presale and not really giving a shit.
What is wrong with Andre Ward?
