Why is Kessler vs Ward Being Fought in CA?

[DC Fight Fan]

I dont quite understand this!

Aint Kessler the #1 seed in this tournament and the #1 SMW in the world?

Shouldnt he have the Home Court advantage?

I mean in any other sport you have a torunament the #1 seed gets home court.

The other 2 fights are being held at Euorpe, why not this one.

And financially wise it doesnt make sense either, because nobody knows Ward.

The only fight of the opening round of the tournament that should of been fought in the US is Taylor vs Abrahm.

1.To get Abraham more exposure in the US market
2.Because Taylor sells more in the Biloxi area than Abraham in Germany



What you guys think and make about this?

The tourney rules say every fighter will fight at home once. It just worked out that Ward opens at home. Doesn't matter anyway when Kessler KO's Ward..

Taylor sells more in Biloxi? Where did that come from? Taylor has never fought on the Gulf Coast. He sold well for a time to Arkansas but that novelty has long since worn off. Taylor is no longer a legitimate draw anywhere.

When was the last bad dec you see in Europe bub?

I was watching Diaz vs Mallinaggi in Diaz home town and i see a blatent robbery.

Myths and legend bubba.

Holyfield v Valuev
Tyson Fury's lastest fight
Judge socring Chambers-Dimterko a draw

maybe he thinks this will be one of the "easier" fights and he wants home advantage against someone he feels is a more dangerous opponent?

Thats a posibility!!!!!!!!!

ward offered kessler some incentive to have the fight in the US.

Thats a posibility!!!!!!!!!

but at the same time i've no idea if the fighters had any say what so ever in the order and venue of the fights. The money men behind the tourny might have the only say in the matter. I was just thinking out loud so to speak.

i believe that. I'd rather fight ward in the states, than end up fighting froch in england or abraham in berlin. That way if kessler fights either of those, he can choose to have it in denmark where he feels comfortable.

All the promoters agreed to the venues,money,etc.

They all worked together.

Fighting in Europe is suicide. You might as well fight with one hand tied behind your back. Unlike in America, where decisions are heavily questioned. Hence why its in the states. Kessler won't get robbed, nor will Ward. Its fair

Yea because there have never been any bad decisions made in America.

I think what you meant to say is that there is more potential for a hometown decision robbery in Europe than in the States.
