I don't know bro NYC get's crazy when a good fight comes to the Garden..I don't know if this fight will get that much interest..But if promoted right the Garden would be rocking..Not to mention the City it self is better then AC and Vegas if ya wanna be real...

NYC gets crazy when their is a hometown guy or a Puerto Rican.

In this case the fight lands in AC because fans are already going to be spending a pretty penny to travel, the last thing the promoters want is for the potential ticket buyers to be put off by the $350/night Manhattan accommodations.

Hell I went to Vegas for the Khan-Maidana and spent $455 for round trip flight and 4 nights at the Mandalay Bay.

The same $415 wouldn't even pay for my hotel in NYC, much less my plane ticket. The Big Apple is The Big Rip Off in my book, it will be a long time before I ever go back.

You got to play to pay,I live in Manhattan and it's not as bad as out of towners try to make it sound..You just don't know ya way around so of course you gonna get rip off...NY is the home of the hustle legal and illegal a like..So what ya don't know about NY will get ya rip off,but that's any Major city tbh but NY is just one of the best at it..Big reason I never get rip off when I go out of town..LOL..

Khan and now Froch and Ward don't want to fight in Atlantic City. Atlantic City is not a bad place to be in. I wonder why the Casinos in Las Vegas don't want to host the fight? It's a big fight and a different set of fans from Pacquiao vs Marquez. That would be the Brits and Americans while Pac vs Marquez will attract Mexicans and Filipinos which means two different sets of revenue that won't cannibalize each other. Anyways its their lost.

war froch! if in england carl could draw 15,000 in the city ground nottingham. no one in even wards own country knows who the head butting boring american is. what does that tell you?! froch is better boxer and far more popular in usa and obviously uk. froch all the way, no doubt. after this this fight, carl will be top ten pound 4 pound. and what a rag to riches story that will be........

I like both of these guys but I gotta go with my man ward. He fights no matter what I just think Ward is in his prime right now I also like how he fights like young B hop Froch has fought everybody that they put in front of him what's not to like about him he comes to fight.
