Andre Ward MUST go to Europe. 168 in Europe=Bigger Crowds HIGHER revenues.

Not really, what Froch put 10,000 in Nottingham for the Bute fight? Ward has almost 9,000 in Oakland for the Dawson fight. Plus TV money is a lot bigger over here.

I don't understand why people always think gate numbers are the be all end all when it comes to money. TV money and Casino money in America easily make up for larger gate numbers in Europe and then some.

Plus when does the champion have to travel to fight?

Froch can easily fill the Nottingham stadium with over 30K people.

And no, Ward is not fighting on PPV so he's not making amazing TV money. You know there's also PPV in the UK right? Sky sports has a lot of money.

Oh and Ward vs Dawson sold 7,611 tickets and 1,308 tickets were comped to pad the crowd a little bit.

Nah man I'm sorry but there's no way that Ward is going to make more money fighting freaking Pavlik in the US than Froch in England or Kessler in Denmark.

Well, like I said, let's hear the offers first. Kessler was rumored to turn down $3 million to fight Bute in Canada so he better offer more than that if he wants Ward to go over there.

Wonder if he has a passport.

Of course he does. He won a gold medal in the Olympics in Athens, Greece.

Lennox Lewis have fought 18 title fights in America.
Lennox Lewis is 18-0 in title fights on American Enemy soil.
What a man.

When his name is Mikkel Kessler and he had to go to Oakland?

Imagine if every single team in Europe have to play at Old Trafford for ALL THEIR GAMES AGAINST MAN UTD

Champions League
venue:
OLD TRAFFORD

PREMIER LEAGUE VENUE
OLD TRAFFORD

I wonder if other teams will complain.

Could be expired by now.

Let's see what kind of offers they make to Andre.

Kessler refused to fight Bute in Montreal for $3million so surely he will offer Ward much more than that to go to Denmark.

Stop trolling. It was a laughable 500K or 750K.

According to boxing news, Kessler only received an offer of $750,000 for the Bute fight, along with his Danish television money which would have likely bumped it up close to what Pavlik was going to get.

[BattlingNelson]

Ward is the champion and is making good money where he is. If he feels like fighting abroad then good for him, but if you want the belt you got to go take it. Ward doesn't have to do ****.

Kessler made more fighting Allan Green than Ward did fighting Dawson.

The Best FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD Come To America To Fight...their dreams is to be stars in the US like Pacquiao been able to do so. They don't go to ***in Nottingham and Denmark, with respect to Froch and Kessler but if they would have beaten Ward during the Tournament then they would be in Position to tell Ward where he "SHOULD FIGHT" but that is NOT what happened

Ward DOMINATED BOTH in fights that wasn't even close...so after I kick your A$$ you want a rematch but you want me to come to you? Sorry boxing don't work like that! If they want Revenge against Ward then they have no choice but to come back to the US and try to get it

UNLESS your willing to pay a ton of money and give up a lot of of your PPV Money to get him to go to Denmark and Nottingham because it is going to take A LOT OF MONEY! If I am Ward I wouldn't trust it, you have more to lose then they do if you get "ROBBED" and it is no question in my mind they will be looking to ROB Ward because that is the only chance either fighter has at Beating Ward would be a HOMETOWN ROBBERY!
