    From my understanding he said that the venue was agreed as Nottingham... now i think he has changed this to a 'neutral venue'

    "I won't be fighting in Germany, simple as that, but it has been pretty much agreed that we would fight in a neutral venue," he told BBC Radio 5 live.

    Check out the article on bbc.co.uk/boxing - you will find it there... he also goes on to say that he wont quit the super six

    They agreed on a neutral venue now, after the hoo-ha of the past 2 days?
    Or agreed before hand, before the fight with Kessler even happened?
    It doesn't say which one...?

    The wording of the article is pretty poor, i cant tell you tbh.... but i think he must mean they have agreed now?

    Yeah I would as well and it might be easier to get good seats than the Kessler Froch fight.

    the pressure is mostly on Froch so I can understand why he won't fight in Germany, and it wouldn't be fair either way.

    Froch could start by sacking that fat slug he calls a promoter! Henessy is ****ing useless.

    Embarrassing climb-down from Froch.

    Stamped his feet and wailed, hoping he would get his way. More mature minds have now calmed him down and asked him to be realistic and positive - helps that Sauerland reminded him that there was no agreement to fight in Nottingham in Froch's next fight. Oops.

    Embarrassing.

    I've asked this before, why would it be in America? Not marketable for either fight, neither is American and therefore nobody will turn up, and it's inconvenient for Brits and ze Germans to get to.

    Do the fight in Denmark.

    German fans can travel easily-and british fans is about 1,5 hours away. Plenty of cheap Easy Jet or Ryan Air routes to Denmark.

    And Froch actually did gain much respect from danes on satuday night against Kessler. Though it may not have looked like it he was actually cheered by the crowd after the fight, and has stated that the treatment he got was fair and classy.

    So: 10.000 in Herning (the venue on saturday), of maybe even-dare we dream- a packed Parken Stadium where around 35.000 would be in attendance.

    No matter what-this fight needs to be in Europe!!!!
