Comments Thread For: Froch: Ward in Cuckoo Land, No Rematch in America

The UK makes more sense than USA financially for that fight. The atmosphere was electric yesterday. No way Oakland can deliver that number of fans.

If Ward really wants it, he might as well go to the UK. At the very least he would shut up all the people who think he actually won all these fights just because they were in America.

Damn i guess kessler hit froch harder then i thought!
To think ward needs him hahaaa!
But real talk ward go whoop his ass again in his house an shut not only a man up but his whole following!!!!!

I hate how Froch is using his belts as leverage. Ward is the true lineal 168 pound champion.

I think Ward should fight overseas for a change, but Froch shouldn't be acting like he's the true champion because he has a couple of belts.

I hear you but belts still matter even if a few arrogant fighters today try to act as if they don't. Froch is 100% right about this. He fought Ward in the U.S. and now Ward should venture out of Oakland for the 1st time in his career against another top fighter.

I love Froch but he has no chance against a guy like ward. does he really want to get schooled again In Front of his own people? I doubt it. Besides they fought in AC last time which is basically neutral turf for both fighters. Both should just move on.

Andre Ward is a coward for not fighting in Europe during the Super Six Tournament. All the fighters fought outside their countries except for Ward. If you're a World Champion hit the road Jack!

Number 2 likes being number 2 and thats ok. Ward already beat him and he knows he cant win. At age 36 cant be beaten like that again especially after just becoming big.

In that case fighting in London is also neutral turf since Froch is from Nottingham.

cause Froch makes more money in the UK

Maybe. Don't get me wrong I'd love Ward to come to the Uk (I go and watch) but I'm saying if Froch wants to avenge the loss and Ward can't agree a deal to come to the UK, then surely Vegas or MSG is the next best thing for Froch.


Vegas - Glitz and glamour name up in lights - he's really arrived then and gets the Worldwide adulation and attention he seeks. The press goes mad in the UK for a Vegas fight, Calzaghe was front page of news when he beat Hopkins, Froch would get the same.

All the Hollywood celebs coming to ringside etc, he's never had or experienced that, that would be great for him. His fans might not be Hatton, but I'm sure he'd bring thousands.

His profile has grown significantly, especially since last nt and now. British fight fans that have been devoid of a trip to Vegas since Hatton, Calzaghe etc would ready for another.

The thing is Ward legacy wise can walk away from the fight, Froch if he ever wants to be known as no:1 can't, so if Ward won't come to the UK is Vegas so bad.

They should do it in England just because the first fight was in America.
It would also look better if Ward went to Froch's backyard and won.
