HBO to show Froch/Kessler

I think you need to learn to read because that's not what I said at all. But I suspect subtlety and nuance are wasted on you. Logic too.

 

That fight, and the appalling business sense behind it, played a big part in the firing of Ross Greenburg. Hardly the model for future fights!

 

I can read perfectly fine, I'd have too to be able to read all those big long novels you post explaining Britain's legal laws on here to me. I had a ****ing birthday in the middle of going through those. Don't talk to me about logic being wasted either, it's an awful case the pot calling the kettle black.

 

You clearly can't - especially if you're complaining about the length of some of my posts.

Please, tell me again how you're going to rip into Bunce! That was hilarious.

 

You know what else is hilarious? You replying to me on every thread desperate for an argument. Go and play teacher with someone else dickhead, I'm not playing anymore.

 

If Froch beats Kessler in a close fight, I think there's a good chance that he would take over 3,000 or so to America. His fanbase has really improved since going on Sky and considering he has well over 500,000 people watching on Sky, I think it's a fairly safe assumption to say he'd take over a few thousand to America. That's not a huge number on it's own, but Kessler has a loyal fanbase too, so he'd probably take another 1,000 or so to America with him. 4,000 non-Americans for a card over there is a very big number, especially when you consider how poor fighters like Berto, who get ridiculous amounts of money thrown at them, attract.

Froch and Kessler will also have been on HBO and on Showtime, so American boxing fans will have heard of them. They delivered a great fight the first time and if they do that again, I'm sure the casual American fans will turn out again, just to see a really entertaining fight. Both Froch and Kessler have decent profiles over there, so I could see them attracting boxing fans.

Personally, I can't see Kessler wanting to come back to Britain if he loses, nor can I see Froch wanting to go over to Denmark. Froch's stance was made clear in the negotiations for this fight, and I really don't think he'd want to go over to Denmark for a third, if the series was tied 1-1. The other obvious neutral option apart from America would be Germany but with Kessler being promoted by Sauerland, I can't see Froch being keen on that either.

Financially, they'd be better off selling a third fight in an arena in either Denmark or Britain, but if Kessler won in Denmark and Froch wins in Britain, I don't think either will be prepared to give up the hometown advantage. For me, America is the most likely option of all the neutral locations, and I do think a fight will like this will require a neutral setting.

 

how about dfTaylor vs Paulie Mc on the under card:rofl

 

Froch vs Kessler will never be in the US. Theres more money from Germany, UK and Denmark than the US. They won't do it in a nuetral venue they will do it wherever the fight makes the most money which is the UK.
