Comments Thread For: Ward's Promoter: We Can Do 16,000 For Bute in Oakland

[bakunin]

I think he meant 16.000 , we can round up to 16.

In there we have the 3 judges + 1 refree + 2 boxer + the coaching staff and his family, thats about it... Thats about Ward's selling power...

In other word, whatever happens, Ward needs Bute more than Bute will never needs him...

If those are Ward's terms then Bute should just fight Froch twice instead.

ROFLMAO Ward cant sell 5K seats, let alone 16K.

Bute is the way,way,way bigger draw, he sells out arena's 20K + seats everytime. Why would he go to oakland, when montreal is a way better city and he sells out everytime.

This is a way of ducking the fight by Wards team. Im glad Bute said he would go to Oakland and make the fight, watch how Wards team will say Bute priced himself out or something to that extent.

LMAO at Ward once again not wanting to fight outside his hometown!!

How many fans would show up for a Bute fight in AC? Less fans than would show up for a Ward fight in AC.

that's different and you know it

you put Bute in most major cities in Canada and he sells extremely well

you put Ward in most major cities in the US and he does not

simple as that

Oakland is the only place Ward sells

Montreal is not the only place Bute can sell

the goosens must be smoking that crystal meth...

[MrClutch85]

The fight should be held at a neutral site but it won't sell so Ward is the best at 168 Bute better go to Oakland if he wants the fight

[Deathrowx02]

I agree that it should be in a neutral site; Vegas is a fair option. I know Ward's selling power is less equal to Bute, however if Goossen-Tutor can some how load the card up, then I think the card can sell pretty well. A good Showtime double header.

Montreal? Oakland?? nah son

Big fights happen in Vegas son, everyone knows that!!!

[delpilar]

16,000 flies don't pay.

Bute already said he would fight in the states. Ward seems to be playing games now that he's expected to fight Bute.
