    Ward is hardly a draw in Oakland (the arena was half empty for the Miranda fight) so imagine elsewhere. Jermain Taylor is the biggest draw in the US. Kessler is the biggest draw of them all.

    Meanwhile Bute's fights are packing every Montreal or Quebec City sport complex to capacity... :blurp

    Kessler! People (most americans) constantly whining about he never proved anything.. now we finally get to see if he is as good as everyone says! So that should make him the biggest draw worldwide imo! But Ward and Taylor are probably the biggest draw in the US only

    Clearly Kessler. !8.000 travelled to England to watch him against Calzaghe. In Copenhagen Kessler-Ward would have sold 30.000+ for sure.

    The only reason it was not in Copenhagen is that Kessler had never fought a single fight for his new promoter and that he was being used as a bargaining chip to give abraham home advantage.

    Between 4-6 million viewers for every single fight of Abraham only in germany. Beat that. :)

    73% of the people watching tv at the time. Which is still impressive. And 1.6 million is about 30% of the total population of the country, so equivalent to 18 million watching something on tv in the UK.

    It's called the Parken Stadium and it will be full for any of Kessler's fights in the Super Six.

    Kessler also took 5000 fans to Cardiff for the Calzaghe fight not the 8000 that some are quoting on this thread , Still mighty impressive and and proof that Kessler is the biggest draw in the Super Six.

    As for Ward he does have a good fanbase in Oakland and if he somehow manages to win this thing then we'll see a new superstar on the block.

    The only reason this fight is in Oakland is because Ward refused to travel, it's got nothing to do with who is the biggest draw!

    Watch the 360 details, he did not want to travel. Should have put Bika or someone else in if he was this inflexible.

    Kessler is a national hero in Denmark. Could Ward walk down an average street and have anyone recognise him? debatable .
