It's going to do these Numbers!

 

[yoyoyo1]

so it really isn't a stretch to say people won't go to a Ward fight even for free?

 

[Higher Tech]

Has this not been the most poorly promoted foghter ever for a top fighter?

 

[FreedMind]

I live in the Bay and the only promotion I've come across was the local station KMEL giving away tickets. No buzz in the area at all for tonight.

I wanted to buy some tickets but I decided to just watch this one from home.

I think HBO will pay him well for fights they deem broadcast worthy...and what could have been bigger was signing with Haymon would probably have cost him his HBO announcing gig.

When was the last time Ward was announcing on HBO tho??

He signs with Allah N he coulda fought Superman, Beterbeast, Dirrell bros, Mexican Hero, Easier time making fights with all of Eddie Hearns guys

Sorry friend #SOGGang is not supporting this struggle thread, let it flop :sog: thank you for this though, fukk tidal

I'm on the 30 day free trial and Tidal is cool to me . I knew all about this fight because of the service's promo. I had no idea there was no buzz around it. Nippsey Hussle will be there performing and shyt.

who cares about a announcing gig when haymon could turn him into the next floyd

this dude has no leverage in making fights, he has to bend over backwards because of his sh!tty promoter deals
