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

The bulk of the money in a fight comes from the TV networks, if the european networks can outbid HBO then yeah Ward should fight in europe. I doubt they can though.

Ward's already fighting on the big stage so why the hell would he want to go down to the minors?

Magee >>> Pavlik. Your post really doesnt make sense bro.

Are you new to boxing? Because yeah boxing actually works like that.

UH...no it doesn't, name the scenerio in which this has happened recently!

When a fighter beats you the first time, you have no say when or where the rematch will happen

There's no usually when it comes to venues. Generally the fight goes to the place which is going to generate more money, and I'm pretty sure that there's more money in Europe with Froch and Kessler right now.

And you would be wrong. The money is here, that's why all the top guys want to fight here.

Even if the money is bigger there why do you want Ward to go to Europe? Is it because he has proven he can dominate Froch and Kessler in the ring and you want Ward to have every disadvantage he can? I just don't understand why you are so riled up about this. The only logical explanation is you want Ward to lose and you know neither Froch or Kessler can do it without stacking the deck against him.

As I said Kessler made more fighting Green than Ward did fighting Dawson.

Anyway there just might be purseoffers so we shall see.

Kessler already made over 20 million. They were projecting that Joshua will make over 100 million Euros if he fought and is promoted in Europe as oppose to America now.

Boxing money is at America in the lower weights, 168+ is different.

No it's not.

This is exactly my point. Most fighters don't even see gate money, not directly at least.

It comes from TV money, and in some cases casinos will pay big money to host a fight. This gate talk is just nonsense.

WTF are you talking about, if there was anyone good in europe at 168 that would make sense. Ward has already cleared out 168. What ward needs to do is go to 175. All of the best go up in weight when theyve cleared out a division. Its time he does it. He did the right thing by clearing it out and not avoiding anyone but its time to move up.
