Thoughts?
The fight will go wherever the most money can be made not in California or Russia. Obviously that's Vegas. She must not have been paying attention on Saturday when Buffer read the scorecards. Her man LOST. Therefore, Ward is holding all the cards and will dictate the tune everyone will dance to...

I wish you had told her thats what she gets for the whole mando BS with the Stevenson fight.
I think the rematch should be in MSG or Barclays since there is a huge Russian/Eastern European fanbase here. I can see the arena being pro Kov, unless of course you hear people booing the US national anthem, which will just piss people off.

No way!!!!!
They can offer Ward $20 million and he would say NO to Russia. It's because Russia is a very rcist Country and they do not like Americans. I am no fan of America, but we are fairer than most other places. FACTS. This decision wasn't about biased Americans judges, it was about Kovalev's inability to finish the way started. After the knock down, Ward got up and adjusted to Kovalev's punch. He started to make him miss, pound his body, and rough him up. In the rematch, it'll be a great fight again but Ward will win again. Thi time, he will not go down at all.

Originally posted by Tom Cruise View PostBoxing in NYC is really on its arse at the moment due to this insurance rule. I dont know the ins and outs of it, but boxing has fallen off a cliff edge there since they introduced it. Seems like a good idea in theory, but i assume promoters just realise they can make more money elsewhere.
Last few Good ones were Thurman-Porter & Frampton-Cruz
Next is DeGale-Jack.. Vegas is where the big money is tbh..

Originally posted by Mike D View PostI think the controversy, combined with the quality of the fight -- and despite a lot of holding and clinching from both sides it was still a terrific, edge of your seat fight -- personally I think it outsells the first fight.
I'd think it is hard to lure people into the second one because not everyone share the same opinion as You & I..
I'm thinking if Kov wins the next one this one has a trilogy coming soon..
