the market. floyd retired and ward finally got to pay per view.
he never would have been a superstar like floyud, but if floyd wasn't around there would have been a massive market for a black, american fighter.
there's also his style, his inactivity, fued with goossen, a lot of things. but those can be worked around. floyd's fights weren't always particularly exciting. what floyd did was throw "HOLY **** DID YOU SEE THAT" type combinations and counters. ward would have needed to keep winning and he'd have stayed on ppv or at the very top of network TV.
