Andre Ward MUST go to Europe. 168 in Europe=Bigger Crowds HIGHER revenues.

[jreckoning]

Business wise:

If it makes money it makes sense.

There's more money in Europe for 168, it makes sense.

Ward will do big business in Europe.

He better not do a Roy Jones and finally go when he's shot.

[HanzGruber]

i think american boxers in general need to go to europe more, would def make them bigger by going into someone elses home

[Cutthroat]

Ward shouldn't go anywhere, it'd be a stupid move. The guy knows he's not going to be KOing people, so why risk a decision in a foreign country? He's the champ and is levels ahead of anyone in the division and at LHW.

You would think so, but let's hear the offers first. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to lowball Ward.

Nah man I'm sorry but there's no way that Ward is going to make more money fighting freaking Pavlik in the US than Froch in England or Kessler in Denmark.

[The Tase]

This is such b/s, legacy comes from fighting the best and it's worth more if you beat the best in their backyard.

and the best come to america to fight.

[Weebler I]

how has times changed? the best 168-175 pounders are in america.

and why are you using hypothetical scenarios to back up your claim?

lets stick to reality. by the time a great heavyweight comes around the k bros will be long gone.

Froch and Kessler are 2 and 3 in the 168lb division.

Cloud may be champ but everyone knows he lost to the Spaniard Campillo, Shumenov and Cleverly are the other champs and Dawson lost to the Haitian-Canadian Pascal.

In 2012 Boxers come from all over the world and fight all over the world.

and the best come to america to fight.

Maybe if ur pac or mayweather but Ward isn't.

He needs to avenge for the super six home field advantage at least once in his life.

Wonder if he has a passport.

I would love to see him do it honestly, with neutral judges and an fair ref.


Never gonna happen though.

[turkas]

Good money is nothing compared to all the money he's going to make if he fights Kessler in Denmark or Froch in England.

Not really, what Froch put 10,000 in Nottingham for the Bute fight? Ward has almost 9,000 in Oakland for the Dawson fight. Plus TV money is a lot bigger over here.

I don't understand why people always think gate numbers are the be all end all when it comes to money. TV money and Casino money in America easily make up for larger gate numbers in Europe and then some.

Plus when does the champion have to travel to fight?
