Comments Thread For: Froch: I Told Ward He Could Put a Glass Eye To Sleep!

Lmao!

It was just like this:

Except Ward won every single round lol .. People need to quit *****ing , this is called the sweet science for a reason .. You wanna see all out brawls go watch street fights on YouTube then .. Floyd mayweather is not exciting , Bhop isn't either , and they are both legends and draws .. Ward is the 168 pound king by a landslide .. Froch can talk all he wants but only thing that matters is that he got dominated by a much better fighter period .. Nothing more to it .. A rematch plays out the same way

Froch is right about Ward not being the most exciting fighter but when Ward beat Froch it was Froch who was boring in that fight.

Froch is a draw at home, and nowhere else. That's how a lot of those fighters who fight overseas operate. We have so man sports outlets here in the states that we don't have to hang on to any one athlete who represents our entire country. Fans overseas tend to hang on to someone like a Sturm, Froch, Calzaghe or Klitschsko. Froch is a draw at home, nothing more.

I think it makes sense that a fighter will be the biggest draw in his home country, but to say no one has heard of Froch outside the UK is just ignorant.

When you say Froch is only a draw in the UK what you really mean is Ward is a bigger draw in the USA. You're just confusing the USA with 'The World'.

Even then it's debatable.

Froch can't beat Ward -- unless Ward takes a short uppercut by accident...
Then why Froch should be that ****** to secure Ward a huge payday in the UK?

Only reason froch is a draw is cause it's his home and just like froch his country will be hoping for a miracle. If you have to rely on fans and not your skill, you're in trouble already. I still don't see anything special about froch that makes me say I can't wait to see him fight again.

So what are you saying about Ward who can't even put 10K in his home town against the top 175lbs in the world?

When I speak, there is no "what you really mean is". Froch is not this known commodity that his fans make him out to be. Froch thinks that his style is more exciting than Ward's, and I don't. I don't even see Froch as a draw except where he lives.

And Ward isn't even a draw where he lives.

Again Froch just put 18,000 butts in seats for a rematch with Kessler from Denmark. Ward couldn't put 8K at home against another AMERICAN in Dawson. They had to give away a lot of tickets for that fight. Froch has other options on who to fight, Ward is the one who is limited.

If there is a rematch it only makes sense that Froch would want the fight at home. That is where the money is, and it's ****** for Ward to say he wants Froch to come to him. It's prize fighting, not pride fighting.

I believe Ward would go to the U.K. because the money
would be best there for him. He deserves a big payday.
Froch and Kessler got 2.5 million Euros each or 3 million U.S.
Foreign fighters are always surprised by the warm reception
they get from U.K. fans and it sounds like that's what Ward
experienced on his trip there. Cotto was in disbelief when he
toured the U.K. he had no idea how much of a superstear he was
there, and when Mayweather was there 6 thousand people
went just to watch him train at Pea**** gym, they idolize fighters
unlike any other country. Ali loved the fans there it goes on.

Kessler was just as responsible for putting fans in the seat too so your post holds little weight. Ward beat Dawson, Froch and Kessler, and he did that with no fan base, so why the fan base talk? You know why? I'll tell you why. Froch tried to throw something out there to see how fans would react. Froch has options according to you, but none of them will gain him any respect until he rematches Ward not matter where the fight is at.

Well, BPS 2.5 mln are $3,776,511.31... This was the purse that Froch and Kessie raised -- each of them... The gate at O2 Arena was of 18,000...

Now let's see what the most talented fighter in the Univers (i.e. Ward) did back at home:

The Ward vs Dawson fight? The event sold 7,611 tickets at Oracle Arena, for a gate of $706,469.
