    no they are not. you do realise europeans dont care about other europeans right? why the **** would i care about a a good spanish or dutch fighter?

    face it, the usa has 305 million people, two 'mega stars' and they cant even fill out one of the fighters home stadiums...8500 fans! :rofl even worse...kessler was making more for fighting a bum!

    show me how much froch v bute made? coz ive looked ****ing everywhere!

    british scrubs? :rofl 3 of the 4 you just mentioned wernt even americsns! :rofl i bet you reply with cotto is american (PR might be now, but I dont see a star on the flag and he wasnt at the time)

    Yeah he was fightig pound for pound ATG Duran. Not like he was fighting davey boy green. :lol:

    Because he was tired from ****ing copious amounts of jap broads. First time he fought there he was excellent.



    Yes considering the 2 was against the greatest heavyweight of this generation. Take out Klit and he's 5-0

    kessler gets nearly double for fighting against whoever. It's not the same as what ward got in his career high payday.. When are people going to realise that America isn't the home of boxing where the 168 division is concerned and therefore there is no money to be had.:deal

    We aren't talking about Britain. We are talking about the Mecca of boxing in Europe which is Germany. Tons of fighters of different nationalities fight there and they enjoy mainland european fighters.

    Who called Ward a mega star? Mayweather and Pacquiao are mega stars. It remains to be seen if Ward gets close to that level. Right now he's just the eurobum slayer lol who can make good money in his hometown.

    Bute took less than his usual purse to fight on non-paid British television. Wasnt even shown in the states. That fight made peanuts. If be shocked of Froch got what he got against Ward. 600k

    Whether they are American or not they fight in America because thats where the money is. Name last foreign fighter who wanted to fight in England to make more money lol

    Ward vs Froch. Froch got 600k Ward got 900K

    Bute took peanuts to fight Froch in Nottingham. Bute and Kessler make their cash fighting at home. Just like Ward.

    fat dan is right in that ward don't have to do anything. Through fighting at home he has earned the right to stay at home in the eyse of the casual fan.

    Bottom line is, he comes to europe and there would be a fight in a huge stadium that would also be ppv. He also, gets the opportunity to prove folk wrong about his obvious reluctance to leave what is seen as the protection of home.

    the alternative it to beat up pavlik and continue what he is doing. not very exciting is it hence why he struggles to gain the respect of the fans..

    PPV? Umm no. Froch vs Bute wasnt pay per view. Why would Ward vs Froch be? Hell Froch last 2 fights haven't even made it on American tv. :patsch


    And Ward has plenty if respect seeing as how he is number 3 p4p in the world. :lol::patsch

    calzaghe was a nobody in the states during most of his career
    if calzaghe had of changed that then, yeah, he would have got shitloads more fighting over here
