Why the heck are the Super 6 fights not on neutral turf?

None of that hometown crap. You can call just about any fight that will go to the cards in a 8-4 7-5 affair to the house fighter. It's not even relevant I don't think that it's actually the right call, the fact that there's a slant present for the home guy is bugging me.

You fight in Atlantic City or wherever.. and you use judges from none of the respective countries. Fkin simple.

??? Can you be more clear? WHO is trying to make money. Are the fighters not being compensated enough?

The only questionable decision was Froch-Dirrell and that deserved to be a draw because neither deserved to win.

If they really wanted to change it, so it were neutral.

They should just have all the fights in Canada, it's a neutral site that embraces boxing. The Super 6 tourney would have gotten a good reception up there.

At the gate. The crowds would be far less spectacular if say Ward had fought Kessler in New Jersey or someplace else.

I didn't have a problem with home turf at first, but it is becoming too much an issue. The fights are almost determined by where they are held. Just pick one location and have all the fights held there, so there is no bias.

OOOh boy. More hometown wins are a comin then. I'm forgetting about all the plane travel that would be involved from fans to support their fighter.

If a promoter and a fighter build themselves as the bigger ticket seller, they deserve the home crowd.

I'm sick of fighters and promoters who don't spend any time or money building there fighters and there company as a ticket seller, yet ***** and complain when they get a bad decision.

It takes time and money to have something like that, if you don't sell tickets than why should anyone fight in your home town or a neutral arena?
