    "The big fights are at 168 but nobody wants to fight me. They have a slew of excuses on why. I think the media and the fans have to demand otherwise."

    Can we help Andre out a bit here? :lol:

    I'm sure that's aimed at Carl. Andre wants Carl. Andre wants the big bucks Carl brings in. Andre cannot bring in the big bucks fighting nobodies. Andre expects his next fight to be PPV. Andre, Andre, good luck with that.

    :rofl

    Ward wants fighters to fight him in his back yard and on his weight class. Take a lesson from guys like Paul Williams who no one of the big names wanted to fight him at WW. Williams had to move up to MW to find fights. Same with Sergio Martinez, he had to move to MW to find fights cause he was not finding at JrMW. I am sure there are several more that have done it. Ward already conquered SMW, move up and find fights.

    Boxing is a business and to make money you have to have fans. Andre doesnt have many. Certainly not enough to actually pay to see him fight. To make the money he is gona have to travel or move to 175.

    That's the problem. The big fights at SMW is Froch, which he already beat. The other is Chavez Jr, but that is more of a money fight than a "big" fight.

    Ward told us Goosen killed the Kessler rematch, which would have been interesting. He said Froch was only domestic so he isn't big.

    Maybe Ward should give us a list of these big opponents that he knows Goosen won't kill, and we can go from there. :nut

    He said the Groves-Froch match was a domestic fight. Which it was, it was huge because you had 2 English fighters facing each other.

    Same reason Haye-Chisora was able to gets 30 something thousand.

    He didnt say Froch was "domestic"

    Ward wants the big fights, but they aren't there.

    Ward should do a GGG and just fight regardless.
    I love how Golovkin fights multiple times a year, no one cares who against.

    Ward, just fight FFS, stop being such a ****ing girls dick.

    A money fight that would bring him some much needed public attention is what he clearly needs at the moment.
