    Obviously there is much more money in Europe, so surely this is the logical place to have it? It really needs to be neutral though, so maybe if Froch wins, it can be held in Germany with Abraham on the undercard to sell tickets or something? And likewise, if Abraham wins, the final could be in the UK.

    I don't think it should be held in America because there's no money there and it would favour the American fighter, which has been a factor so far. That said, maybe it's what Showtime would prefer.

    Anywhere but England or Germany unless there is 2 judges from the America's.

    Ward is a bigger draw than Froch.

    Has to be Las vegas. Give it the pomp and ceremony it deserves. But NO american judges! We all know they suck ward off.

    Oh and under NO circumstances should it be held in germany

    Anywhere just have Internaional judges, any decent size arena will do, my first inclination would be Las Vegas, but in all honesty there are alot of great places in Europe, for me it makes no difference as long as they get judges that are fair and balances, a ring, and the two boxers, I am good with that....

    when there's a big fight in the uk, they have neutral judges and refs.

    He's not. Froch drew 6000 more in their last home fights. Both opponents were no-name so it makes a good comparison.

    Aside from that, British fans pay more than Americans, so it ends up making more money.

    I can't see any argument for the fight being in America unless it's in Vegas. The rest of America can be as biased as anywhere in Europe and would give too much advantage to the home fighter. Nevada is a perfect venue for fights including foreigners.

    There is but I doubt Dirrell or Ward would sell there. If it's a Dirrell/Froch rematch, Froch will have more fans and that's saying something. It won't be the event it should be.

    Froch said in an interview that the final will be in Vegas.

    I guess if Ward beats Dirrell we are going to have to endure him threating to pull out if the final is not in oakland.
