Comments Thread For: Froch, Abraham Continue To Battle Over The Fight Site

[REMOVED SHARK 97]

It was agreed for Nottingham so I can see why Froch is pissed, but I don't care I won't be watching it live in the arena.

Rather it was Froch who THOUGHT Nottingham was agreed upon.

A fight in a neutral territory sounds good in theory but I doubt it'll be anywhere near as lucrative as an Abraham fight in Germany.

There are lots of Germans living/spending their holidays on Majorca (jokingly referred to as Germany's "17th state"), hence the Sauerland proposal.

Sauerland keep talking about Denmark and Switzerland which are both favourable to AA, why don;t they just move it to America???

To my knowledge Sauerland has never mentioned Denmark which BTW I don't think is a place to the advantage of AA. I'd say danish fans would be entusiastically (sp?) neutral as Froch gained a lot of fans from the Kessler fight while AA'a actions against Dirrell cost him some.

Obviously I hope for Denmark as the venue.

I guess they have thrice the amount of people coming to a stadium in germany than in Nottingham or in America.
It's 2 europe fighters.
Abraham get a 80%+ TV Quote in Armenia and above 50% in germany. So American timezone would suck.

I could have sworn they did, maybe i'm wrong.

But anyway, all this talk of European countries is just causing more dispute, 3 of the most highly anticipated fights are falling apart right before our eyes, this is where boxing needs 1 governing body to step in and sort the mess out.

I would love for it to be at the o2 in London, cos i wanna go, but i also want it to be fair so am willing to sacrifice a night out.

i dont think its the fans Froch is worred about, its the judges and ref. Sautherland would have a lot more influence there than Hennesy (who doesnt even have much influence in england lol).

**** it, if they cant agree, flip a coin or something.

[TriggerItch]

Not sure if this is feasible or not, but why not let Abraham fight at home, and Froch choose the ref and one of the judges? A fight in a neutral territory sounds good in theory but I doubt it'll be anywhere near as lucrative as an Abraham fight in Germany.

This is the best solution.

Exactly.

Pre Kessler vs. Froch and AA vs Dirrell I have to admit I was very much pro AA and against Froch, who by my standards talked the talk, but didn't walk the walk, whereas I found AA to be a tad boring at times, but nevertheless an honest and fair boxer.

This all changed, when Froch showed massive heart (and some skill) against Kessler, whereas AA evidently lost the fight but wouldn’t accept defeat.

Honestly I can’t tell you, who I’d root for in a fight between AA/Froch.

Maybe AA ‘cuz I think he’s the better boxer, but maybe Froch ‘cuz I think he deserves it more…
