    Fighting in a different atmosphere will not just test his resolve, but also the strength of his star power to pull his fans to a different locale.

    Then again, no one complains about Mayweather fighting in his hometown, literally speaking. Everytime he fights in Vegas he has the proverbial "homefield advantage".

But like most cases, we often see just the bad spot on a white cloth. .

      Media, yeah probably. But don't really factor it as I only look at things inside the ring so exposure/money doesn't count ... at least in my book. I seriously doubt when the other guy is punching you, you keep thinking of money or exposure.

      But good post man. Me, I'd love Kessler to whoop Bute in Canada. Lolz.
      LOL it's all good

          Because most important fights are fought in Las Vegas. You don't see Cotto, Pacquiao,Amir Khan fighting in Miami.

          It is either Las Vegas or New York.

            Bute only has to fight outside Canada if he wants to fight the best. If he wants to continue picking up good money fighting clubfighters he can do that.

            To lure one of the big guns to canada, he has to pay big bucks and that has been lacking so far with Sartison, Kessler, Pavlik and Johnson all claiming to have been lowballed.

                  Forgot Steiglitz. Yeah Pavlik being offered 1.3 Million what a lowball offer lol. Martinez just got 1.5 for fighting Barker and 1.2 for Dzinziruk on HBO. How unreasonable for Pavlik.

                    Stieglitz flat out refused to fight Bute so I didn't forget him. The rest claimed lowball.

                      Thats total bull****!!! Kessler flat out ducked him to go fight a (easy, easy) fight for a title.

                      Pavlik drunk ass, got offered a good pay day and he wrongly refused it and now is crying to arum to get him a fight.

                      Stiglietz is no better than Magee

                      Sartison is another Mcgee level type fighter

                      The super 6 is tied up, so spare nme the he needs to fight better comp, he has fought whos best available.

                      Letss see if Kessler or the winner of the super 6 steps up to the plate.
