[oaklandstephen]

I wouldnt be suprised if all 3 of his bouts are in his hometown and they will fly in Gale Van Hoy to judge

i hope they are!!! the arena is like 10 min away from my house!

and what documentary r u guys talkin about?

They said it on The Super Six reality series. No one denied it.

Wasn't everyone going to travel?

Ward doesn't have a passport and he hates German food.

'Nuff said

Well I've heard that he's fighting Kessler, then Taylor, then Dirrell, so I would think so. No point having 2 Americans facing each other in Europe.

It seems like bad negotiating by Sauerland having Kessler, as the champion, to travel. It really should have been the other way around.

I would expect Sauerland/Kessler to get a fantastic split by having to fight in Oakland. Something like 80/20 would be needed to compensate for the loss of homefield.

Showtime are doing a six part reality series about the Super Six. The first episode debuts on Showtime saturday, but the episode has already been put online and the link was posted in NSB.

What if Ward gets 50/50 and Kessler gets to eat at Ward's mamas house on weekdays. That should suffice.

From the way the episode went Bat, it seems that much is changing.

I'll check it out tonight.

When a volontary defense is made the split is usually 70/30. So 80/20 when giving up homefield seems about right.

Americans getting a handicap because they're america.. How original

Except Taylor and Dirrell are both fighting in Europe in the first round, and now it looks like Taylor might be fighting Kessler in Denmark in the second round.

Not to mention, all of Froch's fights will be in Europe as he fights Dirrell in Nottingham first, then has fights with Kessler and Abraham. Yes he will probably have to leave the UK but both Kessler and AA will have had to cross the Atlantic.
