    Just when you think Mick cant go anywhere lower in your expectations, he strikes again.
    Why is Froch still with this clown?

    I'm looking forward to reading his column in "This is Nottingham". One thing about him is he certainly lets his feelings known.

    To be fair to Froch, Scandinavia was the location of his last fight, where he suffered his only ever defeat and no doubt the last place he'd want to go fighting again immediately after a loss there, volcanic eruptions or not.

    It doesn't sound too much like neutral ground to me.

    Yes because Finland is clearly home territory for an Armenian/German.

    Well let's have it in Detroit, Michigan, the very place Abraham lost his last fight, suffered his only ever defeat, after all he's Armenian/German, so it shouldn't make a difference.

    Texas would be a nice place for it....especially in the Houston area:hey

    I'm actually inclined to go with one of the original ideas of having it in a bullring in Spain. At least they are working on it unlike Dirrell Ward which has been deathly silent.:-(

    Froch spoke an awful lot about how unsettled he was going to Denmark, especially with the Volcanic eruption etc...

    He suffered his first and only ever defeat there.

    Just months later, he's supposed to go straight back to Scandinavia and to fight on 'neutral ground'.

    I've no doubt he's still carrying the scars of his defeat in Denmark.

    Greetings from bloody cold Finland. We´re no danish (Kessler fight was in his homeland) and sure no armenians or germans. Helenius is promoted by Sauerland and my guess is that he will be on the undercard if this megafight comes here. Audience-wise I think that territory is neutral.

    The place of the event would most likely be Hartwall Areena in Helsinki (http://www.hartwall-areena.com/en/) so you won´t freeze your butt off. The place takes app. 10.000-13.000 spectators and will most likely be completely full.

    You can get cheap flights to Helsinki or Tampere (Ryan-Air) from UK. If you come to Tampere you need to take the train to Helsinki (Hartwall Areena is only few hundred meters from Helsinki-Pasila train-station).

    Scandinavia is like South Europe (territorial definition) and Finland is as close to Denmark as Greece is to Italy. And Iceland´s volcanic activity is nearer to UK than it is to Finland.

    Helsinki is a shithole at that time of year. The people are great though.

    I know its been said before, but I think Dublin would ba logical choice for it..

    Neutral Ground.

    A good crowd would be guaranteed.

    A good venue would be guaranteed.

    Both fighters would get good support, admittedly Froch would probably have a larger travelling support.

    Not too far or expensive for both fans to fly too (ryanair etc...)

    What a load of ****ing shite :lol::patsch

    It's not in Herning, is it? It's in ****ing Finland. It does not even share a border with Denmark.
