^^^^^^THIS. I guess it was also 'pathetic' when Ricky Hatton travelled to Vegas with 20k+ fans and turning it into Manchester for one night (alot of good it did in the end:roll. As long as the fighter has the fans, any place can become 'home advantage'. TS, TRY SOMETHING ORIGINAL
Why would Ward want to go to England after seeing Dirrell get robbed there. ..it's not as if Froch has ever been robbed in the USA....the fight goes where the money is, and that's not in the UK, my friend. Move on.
lol, quit your bitching, spongebob! Man..... all the promoters went to the table and wheeled and dealed with each other. Ward's promoter was able to secure hometown advantage for his 3 stages in the same time dropping down his purse. The other promoters bought into that. Now all the promoters are bellyaching, including Spongebob, for HAXXORZ, cuz everyone is winning at their hometown. Are you actually bellyaching cuz Ward and his promoter was smart to make money as their 2nd priority? Quit your damn sniveling and stop watching the Super6....
Because he's been promoted horribly over here. Before last night he was on obscure PPVs and the Taylor fight wasn't shown in the UK at all.
Dirrell wasn't robbed it could have gone either way. Ward can't draw flies to **** outside of Oakland, there were more Armenians supporting Abraham than there were Ward fans.
It sure can. The final will be in Vegas. Froch will probably have more fans there than Ward, and there will be neutral refs and judges. I don't what's the big difference if it's in Vegas rather than the East Coast like you suggested. I live on the East Coast and have flown out to the West Coast. It's no big deal. Obviously it's an advantage for Ward to have fought in Cali rather than fly out to say Denmark. However, he's dominated all of his opponents. So it's not like he's getting hometown decisions. Fans can complain about whatever they want. However, in this case, it's a trivial complaint. The fight being in Vegas is not going to determine the outcome.
Did I say NO British fighter has EVER been robbed in the US? Learn how to read my xenophobic friend.:deal
And he still lost fare & square, no? Hopefully Froch can muster more than 10 that showed up last night at AC when they fight in MSG/Vegas.
I love how every yank in this thread is like: "well it will be fair + Froch will bring many fans yada yada yada"
WTF!!! Having Bute v Kessler as an undercard event would be insane. Should be the headline of a card if it happens. What a fight!
