    Why the hell does Ward deserve a purse larger than Kessler's? He has no support outside of the 5k who watch him in Oakland. He brings nothing to the table apart from the WBC strap which, in all honesty, Froch doesn't need.


    Seriously, GTFOH.
    What are you talking about? Ward doesn't bring anything to the table except a belt..... Wards the guy that is looked at as the number 1 fighter and also completely dismantled Froch in the first meeting. He brings so much more to the table than Kesslers fanbase, he brings legacy for Frochs career. That's if Froch were to win. Ward does deserve as much as Kessler if he's willing to travel to England. If Froch truly wants to enhance his resume his team and promoter need to anti up. Why would Ward travel to fight a guy that he already clearly beat for only 500,000 more dollars than he made against Dawson? Please think things out more clearly next time.

    Ward doesn't need Froch but Froch at this point in his career clearly needs Ward if he has any passion about his career. To avenge his loss to Ward would surely go a long way.

      If Froch were to beat Ward he would be the Ring Champion, the real WBA champion and he would jump to the top 5 on the p4p list.

      Each one of those things would individually mean more than any of the paper titles Froch currently has.

      If Ward beats Froch he gets a WBA title he already has and an IBF title that means nothing.

      Europeans fans are obsessed with arena attendance and don't realize its the smallest factor in overall generation of money.

      Froch-Kessler had 18,000 people in attendance and probably could have drawn 25,000 if the venue supported it.

      Thomas Hearns - Marvin Hagler had just over 15,000 attendance.

      Now I will just sit back and wait for one of our genius UK posters to tell us that Froch is a bigger draw than Hagler or Hearns and obviously would deserve a larger purse if he were to fight someone of their limited drawing power.

        neither guy really needs each other... but Ward needs a paycheck more than Froch needs to avenge his loss... I think Froch would be perfectuly happy to never fight Ward again.

          You're conveniently ignoring it was also on PPV. If I'm not mistaken Froch v Ward II would be Ward's first PPV fight.

            Kessler gave Froch his word on the rematch in the UK and followed through but I hardly think he will do it again.

            If the fight is not in the UK or Denmark it's not going to make enough money to support the same kind of purses their 2nd go round did.

            The only other place it makes good money is Germany and I think Froch/Hearn are smart enough to realize that fighting a Sauerland fighter in Germany is an even worse proposition than fighting Kessler in Copenhagen,
            Amsterdam probably. Who isn't interested in going there for a weekend?

            We should remember the Danish fans didn't get a chance to buy tickets for the 02.
