    That's actually quite surreal. I'm sure the conversations between them must be absolutely riveting. lol

    The City Ground where Froch wants the fight holds just over 30k. Add the on pitch capacity and it could be 32k ish. It would need to be held in late May earliest and Early July latest to allow the pitch to recover in time for the 15/16 football season start.

    Could Ward take the fight? Sure. But he's been there and done that. He WHIPPED Froch already. Period.

    If Froch wants it, make it worth Ward's while or fight under Ward's terms. Froch lost most his leverage when he got worked for 9 of those 12 rounds.

    All this b!tchin' from Froch fans/Ward haters is pure comedy at this point.

    Ward is the A side as far as talent. He damn sure isn't the A side in terms of putting butts in seats. Froch pulled in like 17 million plus for his last fight against Groves. If Ward came over, they would do even bigger numbers. Ward should graciously accept the lesser portion of the pot. 40% is probably fair.

    Nope. Ward is a much more complete fighter than Dirrell. It will be so decisive they won't be able to give Froch more than three rounds.

    Look, I get it. You're a Froch fan. Hell, I like him too. He fights hard and has the heart of the lion. That's cool.

    But the real talk is, outside of the UK, nobody is clamoring for this rematch.

    If you did a poll and asked the average (non UK) boxing fan who would they want for Ward's next fight between, say:

    - Froch
    - GGG
    - Kovalev
    - Adonis Stephenson
    - Dirrell
    - JCC Jr.
    - B-Hop

    Froch finishes in the bottom half of that list. That fight doesn't do a dayum thing for Ward nor his legacy. Doesn't do isht for most fans, either.

    And if it's just about the money, he may as well just fight JCC Jr. and clean up on pesos from loyal Mexican fans. He could do that right here stateside, without going to England and getting potentially 'Dirrelled' on the scorecards.

    That's just the truth.

    Kovalev, but Ward said that Kovalev is too big for him. Stevenson called SOB Ward out live on HBO, but Ward refused to answer. Stevenson said that he would come down to 168, but Ward refused to fight him..................Froch/Ward would be fantastic payday if they would fight in UK, but Ward will only fight in his home town with his personal referee and judges..............

    Of course Froch should call the shots. He is the draw here.

    Ward never goes outside of his comfort area, an exception might be if you offer him a obscene amount of money. Then maybe.
