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

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.

I like vegas and froch has said vegas is a dream of his. Been awhile since a Big SMW in vegas

Froch could ask Ward to suck this and the response would be, 'Yes Mr.Froch, how hard?'

It really doesn't matter that Ward beat Froch and how bad he beat him because the fact of the matter is, Ward is the one chasing the rematch, Froch is not.

Yes...
Poor Andre... He may be the SOG of boxing... He may be the maharajah of boxing... But his style doesn't sell tickets... Last night, Ward pathetically called Froch for a fight at the Wembley stadium (sic!)... Ward is dreaming huge venues and huge paydays... Fortunately, Hearn (the new promoting shark in the sport) understands that a Wembley fight with Ward would result into a financial disaster...

[MDPopescu]

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.

I suspect that a Ward fight in the UK would not sell out not even the O2 Arena... (Wembley -- out of question)

I agree with Froch on this matter; the first fight was in the U.S., so the rematch should be in the U.K. to be fair. If not, Froch could face Hopkins in a huge fight cuz Hop has expressed great interest and he's got a big name...

[antrecasner]

One thing Froch is right about is Ward doesnt have many options. Kessler isn't gonna travel here, GGG isn't an option right now, Ward isn't gonna move to 175 so besides Froch the only other option is Chavez Jr and thats a garbage fight. Ward and Froch would be big at MSG in my opinion. Only option Ward has is to fight in the U.K. If he wants Froch again but it shouldnt be in Nottingham...somewhere that isn't necessarily in his backyard like they did the first time they fought when they both traveled to Atlantic City.

[MDPopescu]

I believe that Ward will dominate him regardless of where they fight. From a business standpoint though it will be much bigger if held in London. In the states you'd be lucky to sell out a 5k seat circus arena. This is a win/win for Ward. He will dominate Froch on his home turf and make millions in the process along with worldwide recognition.

Do you think that Froch (and Hearn, his promoter) are that ****** to set up big venues only in order to provide Ward with a huge purse in exchange of a boring fight?

He's shook champ don't let the yanks get the homefield advantage again

[thuggery]

Froch calling the shots while Ward appears to be begging for another fight. Hopkins is doing the same thing. Froch is the man.

It's an option then if it fulfils a dream for him.

Real talk everyone on here is riding Froch's pipe for no reason. He was easy work for Ward last time and hasn't improved at all let alone enough to beat Ward even if the fight was in Froch's living room with his family judging. Hopkins is calling Froch out because Froch is an easy W for his legacy...Jesus Christ people stop d*ck riding a determined and tough but 0 skilled fighter.
