Dirrell is justified in pulling out of the S6.

look at the end of the day, my understanding, was that all the fighters fees were agreed before they signed.

To be totally honest Dirrell is no great loss, he would have been beaten by Ward and eliminated imo, then he needs to rebuild.

The **** comes with the glory, thing is though Dirrell isn't man enough to take the ****!

 

I agree the fight should be in neutral grounds. There's no reason why it shouldn't.

 

I dont know if Ward has a problem with fighting on neutral ground but it seems the fight can only sell in Oakland.

 

I love both fighters but Ward needs to relize that this isn't Burger King, he can't have it his way all of the time. He already fought the last stage without leaving Oakland which was a loophole he toke advantage of but he can't think he'll fight in Oakland the rest of the tournament. Being a fighter you have to overcome adversity.

 

I highly doubt that. I'd bet it could make just as much money in Montreal.

 

Kessler is a bigger draw in denmark then Ward is in oakland but yet that fight was in oakland.

 

Justified my ass.

These mother ****ers need to quit bullshittin and fight.

If you want to watch Barbie, do that **** on your own time.

 

No one is justified in pulling out of the tournament considering all of them signed the contract.

No one is justified in changing the rules or venue either, for that matter. This should've been taken care of before the tournament began and everyone should of agreed. Boxing is full of ****s who decide to do it their own way, and its ruining this sport. There's no union in boxing anymore, its all about greed and wanting things their own way. It's pathetic.

 

Yeah but the Froch fight was going to be in Denmark so they couldnt have two fights in Denmark, ironic I know.

 

Yep. Before this tournament started I thought it was. I agree it should've been decided before the tournament so these kind of disputes wouldn't happen and the fans could see ALL of S6 without all this crap inbetween.

 

Really?

 

what should have happened was one fighters gets a gurantee of one fight at home, one fight away and then one fight on netural ground.

Instead we have the likes people bitching before the thing started that Ward was fighting his 1st 3 fights on home ground and two fighters bitching about withdrawing if they were forced to fight in another fighers back yard.

 

Exactly. See how an ESB poster cracks it and the promoters and tournament makers are unable to scramble together a simple fix for a posable tournament? Ego's, man, they ruin everything.

 

Dirrell should pull out! He can't beat Ward so if he losses he is out..Better to get a few more fights under your belt, fight for the WBO title for example then fight Ward or Bute for alot more money. A loss to Ward and this guy is done..
