MSG is hardly his back yard considering its over 2500 miles away.americas a big place. id like it in notts as i live less than an hour away.
NJ or NY its in the direct middle of both guys Wards ppl dont have to get passports and leave us frochs ppl only have a short journey
I said Canada because I wish it could be, but anywhere in the east coast should be fine Because: 1- it's far enough from California 2- it's on Showtime time zone
If it HAVE to be in America, it will be unfair and unjust. One fighter in this case Ward fights only out of his backyard. It does not make any sense. Froch when to Denmark and USA during the tournament. I do not see why Ward would not do the same...unless he is not confident and wants to get unfair advantage over all other fighters in the tournament.
What I heard is that they cannot make it in europe because they want a fight in america time zone, but as I said, Canada is fine with the neutral part of it, the time zone and the 1$CAN is 1.02$US hehe
The Garden. It's about halfway from both fighters home towns and the fight would be on at 3am-ish compared to 5am on the west coast (GMT). A west coast/Vegas fight would see practically zero pvp buys from the UK.
who cares as long as its 10 miles outside Oakland Froch will bring more fans and feel like hes at home anyway
I am just an eu-bum.................but - why Vegas.......??? And Atlantic city, did they not just have Froch vs. Johnson in front of 2000 spectators................???? Bring it to europe............no mater what country more than 10-15000 will attend......It will be a triumph for boxing, and not just a show between commercials....
Is it even a big enough fight for Vegas!?!? From a money perspective I doubt it makes sense. Don't get me wrong, I would love it to be in Vegas, but there aren't that many casual fans travelling to see Froch. Froch Johnson didn't have high attendence. No ones travelling to the East Coast to see Ward either, only 5000 watched his last fight and that was in CA Have it in the UK, we get behind our fighters and it would sell out a much larger arena here (10-15k easy). Show it at an evening ET so PPV is decent too.
