    That's right, A-side wannabe Ward is less of a draw than WWE's R-Truth. :lol::lol::rofl:rofl

    R-Truth?

    I don't watch WWE anymore but I tend to recognize the bigger names. Never heard of R-Truth

    Edit: just look him up. he looks familiar but never knew his name

    Maybe Ward should get a personality like this guy. Then he could actually sell out a small arena in his hometown:

    Why would you compare a family oriented event like WWE to a boxing prizefight?... Summerslam 92 sold more at wembley stadium then Froch-Groves 2 did, so whats your point? Brittish Bulldog> froch-groves?? Fact remains that Ward beat Froch, and would whoop Groves too. So how many tickets they sell in their respective hometown is irrelevent imo.

    Fact remains that Froch and Groves are willing to take drug tests unlike Ward to prove they are fighting clean.

    Would Ward beat them with drug testing.....
    Suppose that's like asking if Popeye would beat Bluto without Spinnich.

    They gave over 1,000 away in competitons for the Dawson Ward fight to pad out the small audience.

    I doubt R-Truth needed to do that, regardless of the prices :lol::lol:

    I hope you thank Floyd for all this PED talk you have in your head about fighters, because people were not accusing fighters like this, ^^^^until pac was under the PED spotlight. Mosely, Vargas amongst others were forgotten about their PED use, now days thats all people talk about, every fighter they dislike is on PEDS..:patsch
