Super Six Final - Neutral location

What would the neutral location be though when you consider where the fighters are from? Unless there were 2 Americans or 2 Euros in the final someone will have a moan about it.

 

Its gotta be at the MGM surely???

 

That really doesn't fit into the "neutral" slot....KingC, I agree :deal

 

Vegas.

 

I think Vegas is a neutral enough location for any big fight. I think it'd be a bit petty to want to move it Atlantic City just so Ward's fans wouldn't be there.

 

It's never a particularly rewarding idea to hold boxing matches in places where people don't care about them.

Ward v Froch in Germany?
Abraham v Dirrell in London?
Dirrell v Ward in Spain?

Any of them likely to attract a crowd?

 

Like most fights, the final will be held where makes the most financial sense.

 

The Semi Finals and Finals will be held in the US. Its part of the contrat.

 

Thats a bit naughty that tbh but understandable

 

I think Froch has dwelled on the possbility of a hometown decision too much.

He reacted angrily to the suggestion of it in a recent telephone conference call and nearly ate a reporter for suggesting that he might need to KO Kessler to retain his belt (see link below).

The talk of him retiring if he feels he gets robbed is not a good sign, he has been thinking about this too much. He should put those thoughts out of his mind and just focus on positive energy and his gameplan.

two Americans then hold the fight in Germany.

Two Euro then hold the fight in Vegas.

 

Theres a lot of money involved here. Even ignoring the loss of the live gate money theres no way Showtime have arranged all this so they can show a Ward vs Dirrell final live from London at 5pm on a Saturday afternoon.

 

yeh its all to do with that fact showtime have put so much money into it.
