    You never know in boxing. Anyway Tarver wants it in Perth Green wants it in U.S I don't think it will happen. Hope Im
    wrong.

    I wonder what reason is behind why Green doesn't want it in Perth. The talk of less pressure is all bull****. Getting beat anywhere is still getting beat.

    It's strange he's never lost there. His losses have been in Germay and Sydney. Maybe doesn't want to get humiliated in front of his his hometown fans.

    It sounds like a convenient excuse to avoid a rematch. Im thinking tarver v green in the US is a hard sell for any network. Thats why tarver is happy to do the rematch in perth under greens banner.

    Unless green lost a lot of money on the first fight and doesnt want to risk another show? Maybe, but im more inclined to think this danny talk of wanting to fight tarver in tne US is danny sowing the " tarver is ducking the rematch" seed because green knows this fight wont be bought by a US network or the purses are far less than what he pays.

    Anyway, is this a first where both fighters DONT want home ground advantage? :D

    You guys saying it would be a hard sell are crazy

    Tarver works for showtime and they love him. They talk about him beating Green on just about every broadcast. All he has to do is say it's a tune up for moving to hw or for Hopkins rematch at cw and they will lap it up. Especially if Danny starts saying it was a fluke and he had an off night

    Sorry mate but this fight in the US doesnt make any $ what so ever.
    Showtime aint putting in anything more than 5 figures & the live gate will do nothing.
    Like Perfect Jet said Tarver wants to come back to Australia & specifically Perth because the rematch doesnt do good $ anywhere else.

    you make a good point... but i just think Showtime will do well to put it on in the USA. The two RJJ killers. The USA audience didn't see the first one and i think Green can sell it. Seen MUCH worse cards do ok in the USA.

    you might be right, just trying to be the Devil's advocate, Sho Box loves Aussie fighters and i just feel it could work :good

    Doc if you watch "Little Britian" you would be aware of the skit with the girl on loans at the bank giving her customers all the confidence to believe there loan will be approved only to turn on them after the computer has not allowed their loans to harshly declare...........

    ..this is a great idea...but something I was thinking is...why don't we come up with 10 questions we would like to see put to Aussie boxers...and do like a generic type interview with the same questions that anyone of us who knows any Pro's could do and then post up on here...just an idea..:hey

    Looks like Tarver is the guy then , Ok first off does he think Danny Green is as tough as Clinton Woods and secondly what dealings did his backers ever have with Frank regarding a fight with Joe ?.
