I don't see why people are ripping on Froch for not wanting to fight in Sweeden / Germany because in either place he'll get robbed.
Nottingham if it's close it'll go to Froch - Froch only wants a neutral location - is that so wrong? froch took his first defence in the USa vs Taylor. won a fight many think he lost in a razor thin decision against Dirrell and lost a fight (I thought) he won in Denmark. He's earnt the right to demand a fair venue the man is no ducker but has been burnt twice now in the shocking points deficit vs taylor and the loss vs Kessler.
(those of you who remember I bet on kessler to win but thought Froch won; that's pretty honest don't you think?)
that said I'll take a lifetime bet here and now ban from boxingscene forums for good, permanently that in a fair, neutral location Froch beats Abraham I am that confident 100% that he'd win on fair ground.
I think its logical and fair for the fight to happen in the USA & if Sauerland keep pushing for a EU venue that pretty much confirms to me they are seeking home cooking; that's all I need to know & confirms my concerns.
Anyone want to take me up on my lifetime ban bet (BPP can back this one up) *providing* the fight is neutral - ie both betters agree the fight location is neutral.
Takers?
This is a make or break fight for both guys, hence why they want the edge of having the fight in there respected backyards.
Having it in a neutral venue is the fairest way to go.
Take it to the Prudential Centre where Adamek fights. The Polskas will love two big white guys fighting each other :)
Should be careful speaking about Froch when you're around seens that you gave me a red card for stating my opinion. Very grown up mate.. there was mr thinking it was a discussion board.
Why couldnt they just put it on the undercard of Dirrell vs Ward?
They make less money, but the issue is resolved. Simple, common-sense solutions like that one don't belong in boxing, that's why!
I don't question Froch in the ring - all out warrior. Outside the ring he's your atypical whinging Pommy git. Better seen, not heard: that's Carl Froch.
my only grievance with the problem is that Froch goes on about being a warrior and says hes going over to knock the guy out. well if thats the case where does it matter where the fight is? go over and dont leave it for the judges. That, or stop talking shite.
It makes absolutely no sense to have this fight in the U.S because they would be very lucky to get 10,000 people in there. Logical thing to do would be having it in Europe (possibly Sweden as it's neutral) and have U.S judges.
I am English and cannot stand Froch but think that in a neutral venue Froch wins this.
They cannot have it in Sweden, proffesional fights over four rounds are illegal.

He said he wants a US fight - whats wrong with that? it's 100% fair for both.
The money wont be as good because non of them is big in the USA.If the likes of Dawson fight in Night clubs and Shane Mosley fights for $25 at the gate against Margarito how much will people pay for Froch?It's always easier if one of the guys comes from that country or both have such a high profile.You see Manny Pacquiao and Miranda are not American but they can pack Arenas.I think for economic reasons the fight should be in Germany,more bums on the seats.

Are you saying Sweden has a history of robbing fighters? How the fück is he gonna fight or get robbed in Sweden when professional fights over 4 rounds are banned by law?
Well, neutral then since it's a competition. But I just don't know how many people will follow him. It will be hard to fill in USA. It's just you don't hear about fighters refusing to fight in others hometowns, it don't hold much weight to me and seems like a bitch move
I think he's such a bitch for not going to Germany,maybe he's playing mind games but then it's disrespectable.Is he saying fights are only to be staged in England?He's actually giving England a bad reputation because appears he knows in ENgland only home fighters win.

Not to sure whats going to happen with this one, nothing wrong which Froch wanting a neutral venue he has had 1 at home and 1 away so its only fair..
That being said dont see how it will work out in the usa unless the venue is not open for public an is just played on sky & showtime, but that will never happen.
They could always have it in Ireland im sure they would pack out the rafters there.

Besides this fight would be big in germany,the gate takings would be huge
they've been reading his post on here and thought what a moron....
personal insults are the worst form of debate. how about you take my bet?
(p.s You took Mosley to beat Floyd......wow!!!!)
Amrican's arent racially biased, they just like entertainment. I reckon a sizable audience would pay to see this fight specifically Hispanics who love brawlers. It would make as much over there as in the UK imo.
He thinks he got robbed in his last fight when in actually fact the only reason he has any points in this tournament is due to a robbery in his hometown
If his first fight wasnt staged in his hometown he wouldnt even have a chance of making the second round
Hes a deluded twat
Never. It doesn't make financial sense.
Promoters never boil down two big events into 1.
They'd rather milk any star for as much as they can.
Of course, I'd like the idea but that's basically telling everyone to make less money.
Didnt they have two super six fights on the same night once? Maybe Im mistaken...
