If Ward wants more money he should do a better job of promoting himself. I was no fan of Floyd but I respected his skills and ability to promote himself. Ward is too stubborn and too dull.

Originally posted by MDPopescu View PostI remember Ward willing to rematch Froch at the Wembley Stadium, but he refused Froch's proposition to fight at the Nottingham stadium... Froch (or Hearn?) was right, though, because Ward wouldn't have sold out Wembley.
Ward could sell out maybe a 20-30k stadium with Froch being his opponent but you all know the majority are coming to see the Cobra fight, Ward is known by boxing hardcore followers but not by the same casual breed that were filling up that 80 thousand capacity with Groves V Froch 2.
Would absolutely need to be a massive undercard to fill out Wembley this one with Wladimir and Joshua will likely be completely packed.

Its not people like ourselves that Ward needs to get talking. Its those casuals that actually drive the sport. He's the last American to win gold in the olympics yet many casual fans still dont know who he is or are interested in even paying to see him.
