    Everyone tells me its a great place but 2% of of people are as likely to pay £50 to fly to Majorca rather than £500 to go there. Certainly no Germans.

    :lol: Ironic eh?! ****ers sit on the fence for everything but not good enough for Froch apparently.

    Canada is a very unfair choice for the supporters of both boxers.

    Don't quite understand what he has against Poland if they're looking for a neutral ground. Can't believe that they (not that the judges will be Polish) would favour a German based fighter given the two countries' history. I know the Poles love to watch boxing when their own fighters are involved but maybe it wouldn't sell very well there? :?

    Ireland is a good location but they want the fight to sell so they are looking at Canada.

    I want the fight to be in Europe. Their fans should not have to stay up until 5!

    Ireland is perfect and at least as neutral as Switzerland...I can't imagine even the possibility an Englishman getting a "home towner" in the south

    It's a strange one but he'd probably get the most support alright, speaking the same language goes a good way

    I'd be front and center cheering Froch on anyway :thumbsup:bbb

    If Brian Peters was involved with the undercard with a few irish fighters It would sell out 10,000 in Dublin no problem.

    I think it would sell out pretty quickly in ireland to be honest...

    I dont know who i would support, i like Frochs relentless style but he does come across as a **** sometimes. Again, i like Abraham too, but dont speak his language, so am not sure if he is a **** or not.

    boxing does draw big crowds in canada,having said that, if there not watching a canadian, its irish fighters they turn out well for, canada would be expensive for either ones followers, so ireland wins hands down on that one.
