    'He got to fight dirrell in his home town'

    You do know that he is the WBC champ right?

    Speaking as a fan who's going. Copenhagen is easy. The other place will be a big problem.

    I.l guess the lose to Ward is to blame. If Froch - Kessler was for the WBA, WBC unification, Parken Copenhagen would be the venue. Now TV-income is the mayor player........

    I guess Froch had dreams of doing the fight in front of a massive crowd in the parken stadion. But Kessler shifted the fight to some rural town.

    Explain why fighting in Copenhagen wouldn't be 'home field advantage' for Kessler?

    The fight should be in Copenhagen.It makes a lot more sense to have it there rather than expecting people to mess about with trains getting to a much smaller town.The Danes should stop messing about plenty of Brits would like to go over for the fight but wont if its going to be a farce getting to the venue.

    froch should quit his whining.

    nobody knows why herning is being chosen. The national stadium is used for alot of events, from fc copenhagens football matches, the national team, concerts, speedway and so on. The venue might not be available.

    herning messecenter is much smaller, so it would be somewhat easier to get a vocal crowd going. Perhaps kessler feels he would gain from such an enviroment. one thing is for sure and that is, kessler doesnt plan his fighs, just because some brits have an issue, with their travel arrangements.

    Geez. Book a flight to Billund airport and it is just above one hours travel to Herning by bus. It is not rocket science. If you can't be arsed to travel one hour by bus, you are not a proper supporter! The transportation time from Kastrup Airport, Copenhagen and to Parken or whatever venue they might choose would not be as long, but not remarkably shorter either...

    And Froch should just shut up at fight.

    mess around, perhaps you shoud start by knowing your geographics son and the location of the danish airports, before you start to spread your words of wisdom mate:yep

    according to google maps, the distance from billund airport to herning is roughly the distance of a marathon, which roughly equates to around an hour by train or a little more by bus. Much be a tough task to travel those last kilometers:lol:

    not 1 brit did any research on the subject and just heard their idol complain, and decided to follow suit like a bunch of sheeps:yep

    an hour by train or bus, can be used to drink some beer and have a nice warm-up tp the fight.:deal

    Has he flat out refused if the venue isn't changed or is he just attempting 2 get a better venue?

    The fight was always and still is, going to be in Denmark, you ******. Do your reserach before embarrassing yourself.

    NB Why does Kessler suddenly want to fight in some sleeply backwater when all of his big fights have been in Copenhagen?
