    Who's criticizing?, a few bitter virtual idiots? :lol: As previously stated and globally well-known already, you only make it when you headline IN AMERICA. That's where the big fights take place. He has no reason to move out.

    These guys are foreigners, they have to travel all over to be recognized till they finally make it to America. As you hopefully know already, big fights happen in America, not Wales or Denmark. There's a reason the big-time boxing promoters are all in America. Deal with it or cry a ****ing river. Calzaghe is a primal example of failure at its finest if you don't move to America sooner. He came and left yet only people from Wales and a few Drunks in England know he existed. How many PPVs did he have?, one?, 130k buys against ancient RJJ? :lol:

    It looks like Pascal/Bute and Froch/Kessler are set to earn more than Ward/Dawson, and take place with more fans in attendance and probably larger TV audiences too.

    There is a power shift now and places like the UK, Germany, Canada etc can compete with the US for fights they couldnt have a decade ago.

    Go figure.

    when u are not marketable in your own country ( Oakland / Carson :D ) , u have to travel ! Kessler,Bute,Froch,Abraham and Stieglitz make more money , so Ward has to go where the money is !

    Who , he will fight in USA , Dirrell ?! :lol:

    who are these Rivals of FLoyd?

    Froch and Kessler are not Ward's Rivals they are his bitches. SRL fought some big time. It will not impact his legacy at all if he never leaves America. He fought Froch in Jersey Froch had more fans there.

    so, basically u say that Ward can't sell a parrot **** in USA cuz he hasn't a solid fanbase and Froch has more fans and sells far better in USA than him (Ward) ! :hi:

    in that case Ward has to travel, no option left !

    Ward's fanbase is made by his family and a few neighbours from Oakland !

    Can anybody seriously say that Froch or Kessler would do any better against Ward?

    If the first fight was close then you have a case for home advantage but it was domination.

    Ward does´nt need to go anywhere. He´s a name in Oakland - and it seems to fulfill his needs and ambitions. Who is missing Ward ? Kessler and Froch know he´ll only fight in Oakland - and heir may 25 could end in a third fight -
    And by the way - isn´t he a lightheavyweight now ?
