    Let's be realistic, it's not about having a neutral venue it's about Froch realising his dream of fighting in Las Vegas.

    No one dreams of fighting in Atlantic City, the only place on the East Coast which holds that kind of pull is Madison Square Garden in Manhattan and it's still not Vegas.

    As for fighting brawlers, Froch has fought many styles, that's what happens when you're willing to take on the best home and away. Kessler and Bute aren't brawlers anyway.

      Vegas is about 2400 miles closer to Oakland then Atlantic City is.

      I'm just saying.

        If he doesn't fight in the UK, Ward can't shut anyone up in a rematch. Las Vegas is just "crooked Oakland" again to the people complaining right now.

          No the fights with the UK fighter as a star are better held in the UK. Just a better business move. Why is Ward so chicken?

            What's the point?
            People were complaining that he had a home country help in Atalntic City... wtf is so different about Vegas?

            I'm pretty sure all the people who bash Ward for not leaving the states is going to get all mad

                Froch doesn't really want the fight with Ward... he's just saving face now

                  How can anyone not be a fan of Froch? Hope he gets the fight across the pond but that's unlikely. I don't think he'll win, but I applaud his demeanor, stance, bravado and courage to fight anyone basically anywhere

                    Easy win for Ward tho....not sure I want to see this fight.
                    That is great news if Ward will fight him there. I think Froch has a chance to win and he will be treated fairly. Ward won the first fight but that does not make him winning a rematch a sure thing. Froch is on a good roll and looking good and Ward has been out of action for a while.

                      .
                      The first fight could have easily landed in Las Vegas if that were true
