    All of these fights should have been in neutral venues.

    The fight is still in the U.S and Ward is scared to leave his hometown. :lol:

    Andre Ward is my favorite fighter and he's a business partner and I still think this fight should be at a neutral site. Its just sad that the biggest fight in the Super Six so far is going to be postponed. The next time the boxing promoters are all together discussing the Super Six someone needs to call in a missile strike. Boxing and all the fans deserve a fresh start.

    All other bouts for the remainder of the Tournament should be fought on Neutral soil. End of discussion.

    Also if Andre Ward goes the entire tournament fighting in his hometown this I'll be pissed.

    Bradley and Holt did just under 8 thousand tickets sold. For a super six fight they could easily get 12 or 13 thousand.

    Not too mention this would be great marketing for both of these fighters as future opponents of either pascal or Bute.

    If they put on a great fight montreal is the type of fight town that would pay more to see them again.

    I wanted the fight in Madison Square. But looking at how much it costs to put a promotion on there, its not feasible.


    Either Vegas or Detroit. Another fight in Oakland for Ward wouldnt be fair.

    It may be unfair that Ward gets more home fights, but I'd rather that than a postponement.

    Ward refused to fight in the tournament unless he got "all" his fights in his home town. Ward wants to cheat. Ward wants his own personal referee again. Ward gets everything he wants. Watch and see.
