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

[hardcore]

There was 5000 fans for Froch-Ward. In Montreal Bute-Ward would fill the Molson Centre around 22000 fans.

If Ward wants to claim to be #1 , he as no choice to fight Bute.
And would not be a walk in the park for Ward.

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

Ward doesn't "want to claim" he's the #1 SMW... Ward IS the #1 SMW.

Bute just can't get any credit around here.

He beats Sakio Bika and it's not impressive 'cause Bika is "B-Level" but when Ward beats Bika in a hard fought fight, it was a good display of toughness against a very resilient opponent.

Glen Johnson enters the tournament and everyone says he belongs in there with the Super Six and he proved it by knocking out Allan Green and losing a very close fight to Froch. He gets dominated by Bute and he's just an old bum.

Ward cannot pull over 6k for the final of a tournament.

GTFO

Andre Dirrell(once his rust is gone) I feel is the only guy who could actually defeat Ward.

Come on man, how is Dirrell going to handle Ward's inside game? he has no chance.

Ward is the #1 SMW period. Bute wants to fight him they fight on Ward's terms. Ward has not been fighting bums like Mendy, Magee and Brinkley the past 4 years like Bute. Plus IBF title is crap.

Sorry but when it comes to negotiating, accomplishments take a back seat to drawing power

If Goossen is right and Ward can draw that kind of # then I am all for it being in Oakland but until I see it I think this fight needs to be in Canada

Recognized #1 Supermiddleweight, Ring Mag Champ, WBC Champ, WBA Champ, Undefeated, Olympic Gold Medallist >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> IBF Champ

Bute better agree to Ward's terms if he wants to fight the champ.

Why does it matter to you on who's terms they fight in?

It matters to me being a Ward fan.
