Not good that the fight is selling this bad.

I think they should have made it here in Denmark in a sold-out Parken stadium.

The fight definitely should have been in Denmark, also because Kessler is the champion and Ward is the VOLUNTARY challenger.

Maybe Kessler needs ANOTHER promoter!! However, if he does a stunning job on Ward, it might be better that its in the US, if there are fireworks it will get picked up by more people on the reruns and get more fans interested in him.

To be honest, he should play more on his English heritage, as well as his Danish, I honestly think it would take too much PR to make him more popular than Froch in England. Half Viking half Saxon HouseCarl WAR KESSLER!!!!

Kessler gets to fight Taylor at home next. It will be a nice payday for him for the easiest fight in the tourney.

He was gonna have to come to the States at some point, it makes the most sense for him to do it in the first round and gain stateside exposure at the very beginning of the tournament.

Nope. It's Froch next. Possibly a unification fight.
