    Yeah. I guess it helps when your fans can drive or make a domestic flight to your fight and don't have to hop on a international flight.

    Only fans that I know of that could deal with that well were the Ricky Hatton fans.

        The distance from Oakland to Detroit is 2080 miles. If you drove 2000 miles through Europe how many countries could you visit?

            yeah.

            Whenever he fought in America he brought his hometown advantage.

            Well except the ref.

              I dunno, but I can bet you wouldnt feel at home if you're from Oakland. Most of Los Angeles may feel at home down there, but thats another matter entirely.

                that must be SOOOOOOOOO grueling, hopping on a DOMESTIC flight to another city. wow, **** must be grueling. i hope he gets to Michigan atleast a month before fight night to get acclimated. poor guy man, i feel so bad for ward



                Let's see how many real fans Ward has. It shouldn't be too hard to get to Detroit from Oakland in September. A roundtrip would cost roughly $200, or just load them up on bus and make a road trip out of it. I am expecting at least a 70 - 30 % (Dirrell - Ward) crowd. There is no excuse, support your fighters.

                      Exactly, other than having the same flag waving aroundm it's still hostile territory.
