Does Andre Ward's insistence on hometown advantage change your opinion?

[Chunk..]

Andre Ward refused entry into the Super 6 tourney unless he fights in his hometown/state every time. The other boxers and their management teams accepted those terms. Do you think that this"joe calzaghe chickenhearted approach" puts a stink on this otherwise brilliant concept?

[Суперводка]

imagine if one of the european fighters did that and only wanted to fight in their hometown like ward, the americans would bash him all the time saying he is a coward or a hyped up bum but now when Ward does it the americans don't mind because he is one of them. double-standards...

I don't think it's right of him to do that. Everyone else is probably gonna fight in their opponents country and he should do the same.

I wont hold it against Ward. It's just his promotor doing his job. So far Goosen has done a great job and giving Ward the best scenario for succes.

[Chr0nic]

not really considering he's fighting the best in the division anyway
which are pretty good fighters

I believe right now Ward is supposed to fight in the US for his first three fights, but not necessarily in California.

i didn't know he insisted on hometown advantage in every fight... i dunno why the other 5 would be ok with that.

Money or they think they know how to beat him and that it doesn't matter either way.

I think he'll end up fighting in Europe.

If you watch Camp 360, you'll notice Herschmann changes it so Ward will fight Froch in the UK.

I think we all forgot that only the first round was officially announced. Everything else was subject to change.

[THEDOC]

I hope this isn't the case. It's bull**** if it is. He hasn't earnt the right to expect such demands.
