Fat Dans take on Ward vs Froch rematch (how most Americans feel)

Its boxing not soccer. Kessler should have had somebody teach him how to fight on the inside. Instead of fighting German cab drivers his whole career should have worked on becoming a complete boxer.

Courtesy. Kessler new he was going to have to fight in America from the tourneys inception. Only became a problem when he got his ass kicked.

Not even close. Kesslers robot style never gonna trouble Ward. Froch is far more dangerous as would be a rematch with Dawson at 175 or hell even an explosive fighter like Pascal.

Finally made a semi-relevant point

Ward dominated Froch with one hand. Kessler had to brawl with Froch to eek pubs decision. Shows the different levels of fighter.

Ward is an HBO fighter now. He'll make as much as HbO wants to pay him. Having a slightly larger gate is meaningless to HBO when they can easily show the fight in Oakland on HBO.

Hasn't he just answered the question why it should be in the UK? Ward couldnt sell out his garden shed in Oakland, Froch-Ward II would do huge numbers over here. If it makes dollars it makes sense.

 

Huge numbers? So huge that showtime hasnt shown a Froch fight since Ward kicked his ass. So huge that Bute had to take a pay cut to fight in Nottingham. So huge that the figh wasnt even pay per view in the UK? :rofl

Who are you Brits trying to fool. atsch

 

and yet Ward couldnt even sell out his own backyard in a superfight between the number 1 at 168 and number 1 at 175. :rofl now that is ****ing funny. a semi-retired ex druggie gets more fans for a nothing fight in manchester tormorrow night than the USA's number one boxer gets in a so called mega fight! :rofl

 

Froch’s showdown with Dirrell will take place in his hometown of Nottingham, England at the Trent FM arena, with recent ticket sales pointing to a 7,000 capacity attendance. But being popular in a small locality doesn’t translate to national stardom. Incongruously, Froch arguably enjoyed greater UK exposure before he burst onto the American boxing scene earlier this year.

atsch ****ing massive support Froch has

 

What does gate numbers have to do with whether or not showtime picks up a fight? You don't think Showtime would pick up Froch-Ward II? Are you delusional?

Ward did 8,500 in a supposed mega fight with china-Chad. Froch just sold out a 10,000 seater fighting an unkown Ameribum.

 

A semi retired British druggy selling out stadiums i think shows the state of British boxing. :rofl

 

That was years ago though.

Its a bit like quoting the attendance for Wards 10th fight or something.

Its not currently relevant.

 

You're bringin up Dirrell ticket sales? Who the **** knew who Dirrell was back in 2009? Who knows who is now for that matter?

Ward-Dawson - 8500 + 2 tumble weeds

 

pretty sure that fight took place at 2 ****ing AM!!!!!

 

Ward is under HBo dumbass. And HBO is the premier non-cable entity in perhaps the world. You think they care about an extra 1,000 at the gate? When their primary source of income is subscription. You think more Americans are gonna buy the fight because its in Nottingham lol?

"Oh gee better get that Ward fight, here he's rematching a guy he dominated with a broken hand, but its in Nottingham England. So there's a good chance Ricky Hatton will come out the stands wih a chair and wallop Ward and the ref will count him out" :rofl

 

What was the attendance Froch vs Bute?

 

Hatton V Laczano was in front of 56,000 fans.....when was the last time an american fought in front of even 40,000?

 

Not BBC?

can the colour red count?

 

Im saying, you absolute gunter, that HBO/showtime/whoever will pick up Froch-Ward regardless of where it is. But they could pack out a 30,000 seater over here, compared with a scout hut in Oakland.
