    Even you dont believe that...Froch doesnt want Ward because it pretty much sure loss and not his biggest money fight...

    Unfortunately thats not how this business works, you deserve whatever is commensurate to your drawing power in terms of ticket/PPV sales and viewership.

    Ward's problem is he has this dull, god-botherin, faux humble personality and an ugly but effective in ring style. Until he can rectify that he won't be able to dictate the terms his talent deserves.

    Ironically the way to build that audience would be to take a smaller (50/50) purse split and beat some of these guys.

    But people don't pay money to watch Ward, they pay money to watch Froch. Hence Froch deserves more money.

    It's like there being a Bieber concert and there is a warm up band that a better than Bieber getting more money than him- not going to happen because people came to see Bieber.


    And the fight would do around 30,000 people in the UK tops. Why do people who live outside the UK feel that it would do 80,000. Of the 500 people I see daily, I would be suprised if more than 2 have ever heard of Andre Ward and only 1 of them might care enough to watch him fight- might

    Mayweather vs GGG at 154 pounds. I wish that was an option.
