    And yet GGG makes 400k per fight

    While Mr.Ward coming off a 1 year surgery made 2.1 million

    :hi:

    Even Edwin Rodriguez after the weight penalty made more than GGG :patsch

    They both clinch too much...

    But at least Wlad KOs his opponents, many of whom had never been KOed before.

    the great majority of fans the world over prefer to watch Golovkin. it's not even close. i doubt Ward would make the top 20. certainly not mine.

    GGG easily the more entertaining. We still need to see who is better, at the moment Ward has beaten better opponents.

    The great majority of fans prefer the boxer who moves forward or stands still.

    It all depends on preference.

    I like watching wars, but I like technique too and don't overly care for stoppages. Ward and Golovkins' fights are similarly not competitive, therefore I prefer to watch Ward work... Might part of that be that he is more similar to how I box? Potentially. Lots goes into the equation. Some people care about more than just punches thrown per round...

    Read the thread title idiot.

    What has Wards inflated pay cheque got to do with how big of a fan base he has.

    Hid viewing figures are terrible.

    I like Ward, but only the most defensive ass would pick him as the more fan-friendly fighter.

    He beats GGG, but he isn't even close to being as fan friendly.

    There's a reason why he's getting paid as much as he is.

    Gennady is more exciting because he just fights more. I actually like how Ward fights, he's a smart and tricky *******! I like how he power jabbed the **** out of Edwin or whatever his name is.
