    The guys the champion and the huge draw yet the fight is in Cali
    Well, that is significant...if the venue were in Denmark. Soooo, good point. But unfortunately it seems to me, and I am no expert, that they are not as interested in selling out the auditorium as they are in selling ppv.

          I dunno what the time difference is(I think Denmark is 6 hours ahead of EST)But the fight could have been in Denmark and put on at a later time or even tape delayed for American prime time.
          As Kessler said himself,Denmark has 5m people and 90% of them know who he is.
          No fighter should have his 3 fights in his own country IMO

              Funny thing is, I've seen so many americans in here whine and ***** for two years about european fighters being protected, they should come to the US and fight etc etc etc. Then they pull **** like that. Making their complain entirely pointless.

                if anything, it should be tape delayed in denmark...the day a denmark television company creates a boxing tournament is they day it is tape delayed in the US...

                its weird to me that people dont understand that...

                its like some middle class dude flying coach complaining that bill gates is flying first class...he PAID for the ticket, dude...

                  what does bigger gates have to do with anything?

                  first of all, money in boxing is generated off TV or PPV revenue, not gates...second, who paid for the tournament?

                    Kessler will still beat Ward imo, despite the venue. I'm rootin for Ward but don't think he got the goods to handle Kessler just yet. I expect after this fight Ward will emerge a better fighter and beat whoever he faces next tho.

                      I would agree to a point.
