    Bailey's bull**** about not having the fight in St Louis is really screwing everyone over.

    He is the champ he has a right to request a venue out side of St Louis

    You act like Alexander is a star or some ****, like having the fight in his home town will make more money than anywhere else, the fight isnt going to sell for **** no matter where they go.

    Bailey does not want to get ****ed and St Louis has ****ed champions who have defended there before, Karmazin who really beat Corries ass... Bailey is with in his right, and like the Floyd fans say, its not about pleasing the fans...

    He will have to knock him out I agree, but make no mistake Alexander isnt as good as people make him out to be the boy quit IMO against Bradley, Bailey doing the right thing I aint going to cry about it .

    so you agree Bailey needs to KO him to win then why make all the fuss about the fight not being in st louis?

    Favoritism for the home town kid, such as Ref making poor calls, or judges with their scoring, I mean heck Alexander could win more rounds but if he is dropped a couple times and Bailey has a few rounds himself the cards may not reflect what really happened as Alexander is the home town fighter.

    Why are you crying about this? do you feel that Alexander needs to have a home court advantage to win?

    not crying at all. I do think it is good for the sport to have people in venues and that people build fan bases

    Its not like these guys are trying to call the shots. They said they would fight Paulie in BK for his title. For everybody involved it would be easier to do in St Louis

    If Bailey was the challenger, he'd need to accede, but he's the titlist. If he wants to make less money to fight outside of STL, then so be it. He knows he's making less money this way than he would if the fight is in St. Louis, but that's his choice.

    And yeah, he needs a knockout to win, but don't even joke that there haven't been instances of Devon Alexander fights where he's had a hometown referee who has helped him out. It's happened multiple times in the past.

    Honestly, this just sounds like whining to me.

    Bailey has been around for ages, he is not going to risk losing his title behind some home cooking he has worked too long to get where he is why risk it if there is no venue its not his fault who ever bid on the fight, who ever is promoting it thats their fault
