    Name the fighter that Ward could face and fill 80,000 seats. You say Maidana wouldn't do 80k fighting Mayweather, but Maidana has a bigger fanbase than Ward.

    Stupid post on an excellent thread.

    Froch is levels above fighting in Bingo Halls in Oakland. He is someone who can sell out 80,000 seater arenas. Would Ward come to the UK- not a chance with the stricter drug testing where he wouldn't be able to juice like he did in their first fight and his glass chin would be shattered.

    Hence him pricing himself out: [url]http://beta.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/boxing/4943541/Andre-Ward-tells-Carl-Froch-50m-London-superfight-fine-for-me.html[/url]

    ward is not an entertaining fighter , in fact he is pretty boring . he is a pretty quiet guy outside of the ring with not a lot of personality of flamboyance . he could not build a massive fight , it would all be up to the opponent to sell the fight if you are talking filling an 80k arena . in the era of boxing we are in now you need to have some area of appeal to the public's imagination and get them captivated , either that or you need to be a KO king which he is not .

    i actually think OP made a mistake with the thread title and put one too many zero's .

    You do realise the British Boxing Board of Control has stricter drug testing, than the Athletic Commissions who Ward likes so much and Ward's strength and stamina would be zapped when The Cobra comes on strong without the juice in him?

    You also realise if the ref was allowing Ward to hold, headbutt and elbow he would be shamed into not doing or deducting points off Ward?

    His mandible would be shattered by The Cobra's deadly venom

    In a Bingo Hall in Jokeland in front of Ward's inbred family, Ward would elbow, headbutt, forearm, hold and vertical suplex his way to a dull points win.

    However in the UK where Ward's PED use is not protected by the CSAC poor policies and hometown ref he gets his glass jaw shatter by St George.

    Why is he unwilling to take the test and unwilling to fight outside of the CSAC borders who have lax rules on PED use? :think

    Groves sold how many when he didn't fight Froch? Froch sold out the arena, not Groves.
