i wonder if showtime will make it a ppv fight or still free to subscribers.

The pampered Andre Ward will have ALL his Super Six fights in his home country.

Carl Froch, even though he's a bigger draw in Nottingham than Ward is anywhere in the US, will have had 4 of his 5 fights in a foreign country.

Is this fair?

Showtime made it clear from the start that the final would be in the US.

If Froch is better than Ward he can beat him in Vegas or New York. He's fought in the US 3 times and he's undefeated.

This might be a one sided UD for ward..

Fighting in the Pacific time zone will have an effect on Froch's body. He'll be feeling as if he's fighting at 4 or 5 AM, a time when he normally sleeps.

Not having to travel made it easier for Ward. The crooked referee Jack Reiss in the first fight made a difference, Kessler was thrown off his game by Ward's deliberate fouling and Jack Reiss constantly getting in Mikkel's face for nothing.

That first fight should have been in Denmark, since Kessler had the WBA title. I belive with an honest referee and Ward being the one who'd have to adjust to the travel, the outcome would have been different.

I know why you'll be rooting for Ward to beat Froch even though you're British.

If the fight must happen in Americam then New York is the best choice. As far away from Oakland as possible.

LOL. One thing you can always count on, is Tunney having excuses.

Do you really think it's fair that the pampered Andre Ward has all his Super Six fights at home, while Carl Froch will have to fight 4 of his 5 in foreign countries?

If Ward was only permitted 1 fight at home and had to fight 4 in foreign countries, I imagine you'd be p1ssed off, wouldn't you?
