Comments Thread For: Ward Won't Play Up USA vs. Russia Angle for Sake of Promotion

Of course. Joe Smith Jr seems like a good, hard working American.

Stevenson, while talented, was a pimp who exploited young girls.

Took you an hour to answer that one.
Not always black and white, I know.

Yeah man. I'm sorry that I didn't answer you 5 seconds after your original post.

And I'm sorry that me liking Joe Smith Jr blows your fragile little mind.

How could he? A lot of that fanbase hate the country they live in.

When foreign fighters go into England the whole crowd is singing and chanting against them. They give the local boxer a real home field advantage.

And that happens regardless of whether the local boxer is black or white.

Here in America we can't get certain people to see the brown or black guy as one of their own. It's disgusting.

I get where your coming from. We have loyal fans as far as who comes out to support a fighter. We have a very disloyal press, who tear anyone successful from this country down as hard as they can. But is it more Wards style that people don't appreciate. Surely it's not a colour thing? We're they the same with Roy Jones and Ray Leonard. Ward is smart and a great fighter, but he's style isnt one that gets involved in a back an forth fight. The Germans love that style though, Henry Marske, Sven Otkke, Wlad, who isn't one of their own are hero's there. USA seems to like the biff **** wallop guys.

Oh, I'm sure it's a color thing.

We have the same clowns on here disrespecting Errol Spence and Gervonta Davis too, whose styles lend themselves to exciting fights.

When you're in business, you don't care if your customers are rocket scientists or idiots, as long as they are willing to pay the asking price! So the question is not whether Mayweather can win in MMA, or will McGregor win in boxing. The question is how many people are willing to pay to see it? I'm going to say at least 2 million!

You mean how many Idiots will pay for this.

I don't want to call anyone an idiot after I just paid 70 bucks to see Canelo vs. Chavez Jr.! The saying goes, "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

Well 4.6 million people Payed $100 for May vs Pac, it was a dud, one of the worst fights I've seen. On paper it was great, Mayweather vs McGregor is not even a close fight on paper. The Plus Jr seem like he didnt have any energy. He didnt even trow any punches. His punches didnt have any power. It was good in paper because of the weight advantage Jr would have had.

Out of his hands, people and the media will make of it what they will...whether he plays that angle or not

I neither like nor dislike both fighters. I'm just not too excited about this division. I just don't care who wins, controversially or not.

Call me when Stevenson vs Kovalev finally happens. Until then, 154 and down are the weight classes to watch, at least for me. Don't care about the heavyweight also, where it takes years to see young top fighters face each other. Call me when Klitchko is no longer in the picture.
