i agree on the fighting in oakland part. ppl like to forget most of those fights really couldnt be made somewhere else. was he gonna fight green and bika in their hometowns? that wouldnt sell a ticket, even in vegas it wouldnt make as much money as it did in oakland.
when he fought kessler it was the first fight of the super six. after that mikkel was supposed to fight in denmark in his next fight which he did. ward was supposed to fight taylor in little rock but jermain pulled out, was he gonna fight green in oaklahoma? again he was gonna fight away, this time dirrell in detroit but like taylor andre pulled out. bike became his next opponent, you think it makes sense to make ward-bika in sydney? how about cameroon? and abraham coming of two embarassing losses in a row wasnt a good sell in germany at the time. oakland was the only logical choice the as well.
then he froch who he fougth in AC and now dawson back in oakland, he could have fought dawson somewhere else, but other than kessler its really the first time he chose to take a fight that could be made anywhere and make it at home.
