Will Andre Ward Ever Become A Top PPV Draw?

Doubt it. He'd have to be A LOT more entertaining... like go on a brutal KO rampage. Plus there's no Oscar De La Hoya equivalent for him to beat and to hand him down the torch.

Oscar had Chavez, Pac and Money had Oscar. If somebody doesn't beat one of those guys, it will be a looooooooooooong time before a boxing event comes close to a million buys after they hang em up.

 

Not whilst he continues to box from the Bernard Hopkins playbook he won't...

 

His only hope is to become a Floyd-like character. I can't see him building a large fan base, American fighters almost never have big fan bases these days

 

if mayweather can do it so can ward

 

he's going to be a great fighter but i dont think he got the style to be a top ppv

 

u haters are going to make him a huge draw keep tuning in hoping he gets knocked out bit floydish lol

 

Nobody really hates him though. Thats the problem. People are pissed that he has had all his fights at home, but they also realise that hes an exceptional talent. People just don't "care" enough to invest in him like they do with Cotto, Pacquiao etc...

 

If he keeps winning against top opponents he has a chance. The biggest problem for him is that he is dull in and outside of the ring.
