    Why have the fight in Vegas? Nobody's American so nobody will turn up. And it's just inconvenient for us Brits and ze Germans to get to.

    Its a nice idea but last time I checked Ryanair dont fly to Vegas, think France was a better idea on that front.

    Can't think of anything better....but just moved house and 4 months won't give me chance to sort out the finances, even if I live like a monk :| Just out of interest tho, how many £££s do you reckon it would run to??

    Jesus christ. Monumental **** up by Hennessey. As if you do business, ESPECIALLY in boxing, on verbal agreements.

    Carl's ****ed here.

    Well '****ing up' is Hennessey's speciality its just a shame he isn't half as good at promoting as he is at that.

    Carl is throwing his toys out of the pram a little here just because he believes he was hard done by last night. Does he not think Dirrell felt the same? What if AA says **** it why should I go to Nottingham when Dirrell copped 2 terrible cards..? The whole thing would be made a mockery of.

    Maybe they could have it Manchester/London or something. Still home advantage but it might ease the negotiations a little. If I was either one of these guys needing to win having had one at home and one away I wouldn't want it in the guys actual home town.

    A compromise is needed here, no doubt. Hope Showtime intervene with something fair. Surely they planned for this and have some sort of adjudication process??

    I agree with you to some extent but I think the point is about whether there was an agreement or not.

    Personally I would have liked to have seen neutral venues used for this tournament to make it fairer, or each fighter given 1 home fight and the rest neutral.

    Ward certainly should not be allowed to have all 3 fights in Oakland.

    It's very odd how 2 titles have been lost my men fighting in their oponents backyard, couldn't see this happening normally

    To the Abraham fans and Froch fans - how about Ireland as a neutral venue?
    Just think it would only be a 1 hour flight for Froch fans and a 2 hour flight for AA fans!
    a lot cheaper than a trip to Vegas and in the same time zone too!
