Should Andre Ward and Carl Froch fight OUTSIDE America and Europe?

[Woosha]

Would be nice if Ward left home once during the Tournament...

[sdcluser]

When the super six competitors initially entered the tournament, it was agreed in principle that the final fight would be held in America. But now that we've reached the final and a European and American have both made it through, is it 100% fair on the European fighter that the final be held in the USA?

North or South Pole?

[a-force]

It's final of the super 6............MGM GRAND, best place for the big fights.
Failing that, Madison square garden NY.

I don't think all the judges were English in the Froch-Dirrell fight.

And why do you want the fight to be in England os badly, are you planning on going to watch it in England?

As long as Ward whoops Froch and gets the right decision, I don't care where the fight is.

But if Ward whoops Froch in England, and Froch gets the decision, then all that shit about about "England will draw more people" will be overshadowed by bad scorecards. We don't need anymore bad scorecards.

And you don't seem to realize bad scorecards actually happen in the U.S. against U.S. fighters vs a foreign fighter, example: Hopkins vs Calzaghe, Calzaghe gets the nod, any other country would help their fighter out and give it to Hopkins. Whitaker vs Chavez in the U.S...Whitaker gets robbed.

So it's like the U.S. are like these other countries that like robbing foreign fighters.

the judges weren't english in the froch-dirrell fight so maybe they do the same scoring if the same judges were in the u.s.


i don't care where the fight is either. i'm gonna be watching on tv.

i just think it's better to sell 10k , 15k or whatever in england than 5k worth of comps in the u.s.


calzaghe got the nod because hopkins didn't throw enough. plain and simple. it was no robbery.


so you're saying the fight should be in the u.s. because american fighters get robbed in the u.s. sometimes? wtf?

Froch vs Ward should take place in America, but it deserves a large arena worthy of holding a fight of this magnitude. Staging Froch vs Johnson in a 2800 capacity ballroom was nothing short of a disgrace, as the fight could have been held at a Nottingham football stadium in front of 20,000 fans.

Ward vs Froch - Las Vegas

[The Hammer]

If they were smart they'd do it in england.

Surely they'd draw much better.

What's ward's fanbase? Fellow queers from frisco?

This.

Froch has had his past three fights in foreign countries, Ward has had home advantage in his past three.

Ward vs Froch - Las Vegas

Yeah, that was a disgrace.

I'm not a massive supporter of fighting in America unless it's a big venue. 2,800 people?.........jesus.

That fight would have sold out 17,000 at least in England, not necessarily in Nottingham but anywhere. Matchroom now have Darren Barker who is a good ticket-seller, and Kell Brook. We can change the time to suit the big American broadcasters but unless it's one of the big venues. What is the point in fighting in America, really?

Also what sense did it make Ricky Hatton going from the MEN to fight in some back water casino in America and nearly getting KTFO by Luis Collazo in a terrible piece of match-making. That fight still annoys me.

It's not all about America. Especially when it looks like their fighting in a school gymnasium.

Would Ricky Hatton still have take all those fans to Vegas? Yes.

Because Vegas is a good fight venue and fun place to go.

No offense to those who favor Atlantic City, but it looks like a terrible shit-hole.

[Weebler I]

I think they should hold it on the Moon, actually no.....America landed there first. Mars is a much more neutral venue, plus I heard the martians have been monitoring the tournament closely.

[Bushbaby]

Absolutely,neutral ground,neutral judges.That way Froch won't get a crazy 1 sided win like with Dirrel & Ward won't get any contriv..................ohh wait,he dominated most of his opponents.

[D4thincarnation]

The only place in America I trust not to rob Froch is Vegas.

If Wards insist on Cali or anyone else in America apart from Vegas Froch should walk away and maybe fight Bute or rematch Kessler.
