I wonder though, how difficult would it be for Wards team to contact someone at Nike and say hey listen this is who Ward is and He'd like to endorse your products.

Also another thing, boxing is the one sport that almost all other professional athletes in america like. I don't know why but it just is.

Or better yet call non stop people at sports illustrated to get a feature on him. After all he is the last american to win the gold medal and he is kicking ass and taking names.

I have no idea how these things work but I remember an interview with Archie Moore in which he said almost every night he wrote letters to all outlets of media introducing himself to them and saying why he should be under their coverage.
