Could Andre Ward sell out an 80,000 seater stadium like George Groves did?

    Yet Ward will never earn as much in his career as Groves did last May, EVER and not as many people will have heard of him as Saint George. :hi:

    Not for Ward it's not, hence how he always prices himself out of fights (wanted $83million to fight Froch in the UK). He wants coin. Yet Groves made more in one night than PED cheat Ward will do in his career.

    To be fair to Groves it was Froch, plus Groves's performance in the first fight, the controversial ending, the fact that they are both from England.

    Ward - Froch wouldn't sell 80,000 tickets either. Froch - Groves did because it was the whole package. Well diserve to both fighters and I think Ward must have been a little jealous.

    Kovalev by the way he took care of bhop not only beats him but beats him convincingly. There's a reason ward wants to keep fighting bums.

    Exactly.

    GGG is en route to become a main attraction (almost there), but we will see how he looks against championshoip fighters. Only then can we judge.

    If that's the case why does he only sell 4,000 seats in an 11,000 seat arena?

    He needs the right opponent, venue and ticket prices to sell out a stadium like Froch/Groves did.

    If he fought Froch at Wembley Stadium with the exact same ticket prices- like Groves did- it would sell nowhere near 80,000- Eddie Hearn has stated that is a fact therefore if Ward ever would man up take the test and leave Jokeland, they'd fight again at the O2 arena and not the National Stadium.

    Froch vs Groves 1 didn't sell that much either. The right circumstances are needed to draw that kind of crowd.

    Actually it sold out in 20 minutes and far exceeded the number they planned on PPV.

    That's 21,000 tickets gone in 20 mins.

    Ward couldn't sell out even half of his 11,000 ticket allocation for his last fight.

    Its not secret that Ward is not a draw, but he would beat anybody at 168 still with ease.
