    No hype no one cares it sad to be honest because this is a very good fight

    Golovkin Vs canelo has not even happened and it has much more hype then final week of kovalev vs ward

    Ward is an extremely dull fighter.
    Whether you're "hardcore" or not, a dull fighter is a dull fighter.

    Then it's not a big fight to the casual.

    This is no Brook v Golovkin.

    Exactly, the man has the personality of a stale piece of bread that has been left to rot on the kitchen table for months.

    The worst of it is that he geniunely believes he is the new Floyd Mayweather and thinks that he is some big draw with a misplaced sense of entitlement where he believes other fighter have to cater towards his demands.

    I don't know why so much hate for Ward, he seems to be a nice guy, hard worker and respectful to his opponents.
    When it comes to his fights, he sure is boring, and i respect his skills, i love watching analysis on him, but it's better for boxing that the casuals aren't seeing this fight, because i doubt it would be pretty.

    This is an exciting match up regardless of style. It's an interesting clash of styles between two top p4p fighters. I love it.

    It wouldn't bother me if he didn't pretend to be such a nice guy,where most folk no matter how good are modest about themselves and their achievements he is just so embarrassing in the things he comes out with and that nick name the son of God is even worse,only someone as cringeworthy as Ward would dare call themselves that?
    All this on the back of countless fall outs with contracts and folk he once deemed friends who he was quite happy to clean out in court,so no I don't think the sun shines out of his backside as at the end of the day no matter how he tries to come across his actions would say otherwise?

    Sickening isn't it. The shameless audacity of a man riddled with shady dealings and a disgusting personality to boot. I believe he lost his way after his father died as Frank Ward was a good and honest man who was able to keep Andre's feet firmly on the ground. Notice how much he has changed through the years and has become embroiled in politics and trash talking others who he had no intention of fighting.

    We can therefore only conclude that Ward has sadly fallen to associate with the wrong type of individuals who have their own vested interests.

    You say that like Kovalev has a fanbase that does not watch him. He is apart of this fight too, where are all of those EE, GGG fans at?

    Many casual fans, which happen to be GGG fans, have no clue who Kovalev is.
    I hope this fight tops 300k in buys for the fighters sake

    It takes two to tango. Kovalev isn't a big draw himself for whatever reason. With that said this is a very important fight for the sport.
