    Yep, that's most likely why he fell out with his ex-promoter in the first place, he was feeling too big for this boots and completely overestimated his market value.

    Mikey Garcia is another one who has this problem.

    To be fair to Mikey, he does have the style to attract a lot of viewers and he has the mexicans+mexican americans behind him. He has far more viewership potential than Ward, it's really a shame that he's going to be inactive for nearly 2 years, who knows how good he is now, and what weight class he's even going to fight in.

    He ****ed up his career due to greed, if he only was more patient... Although saying that, it seems with Mexican-Americans, they do less numbers than actual Mexicans, I mean, he would never pull Canelo type numbers, that's for certain. (even though he's better than him)

    Yeah, but he could have pulled real decent numbers, he had a really good resume for a 26 year old, and his record was very impressive. If he went on at that pace he could have been like nearly 40-0, and he would have beat Gamboa too imo. Such a waste of a career, he was on the road to an ATG type career, I really dont see anyone beating him besides Crawford but Crawford has already moved up.

    Lol, for the first time I actually agree with you. If 130 Mikey was still around I'd pick him to beat anyone from 126-135.

    We actually only disagree mostly on GGG matters tbh. I think Mikey still will be decent when he's back, but 2 years is such a waste of someone's prime.

    I'll ask you the same question I asked Doc.

    If the Cotto-Canelo winner refuses to face Golovkin, and if BJS beats Andy Lee, what PPV worthy events exist for Golovkin?

    I like it when Ward fights at Oracle Arena. Its the only fight I know I can go to and get in for free practically. :D I get there about 15 minutes before the card begins and I always find a few guys giving out tickets.
