The fight should be in Oakland, since there's tons of fans there and Ward is A-Side

    I have an oak in my garden. I say they should fight under that.

    Bollox to that. People get shot here in broad daylight, expecially around the stadium area. The Russian might literally not make it out alive.

    Its odd but it does seem that unless I am missing announcements that lately I dont think Wards fights have been confirmed until late on.
    Smith I think was around 2 months
    Barrera I think was a bit less
    Brand I think was also less than 2 months
    They to my knowledge all seem very short notice
    I have thought this with Wilder also but may have missed announcements

    Maybe the Kovalev fight wont be confirmed until around 6/7 weeks before the fight for some reason?

    MVC's trolling game is so weak these days. This site is a joke, if they're going to troll us for clicks they should at least put a little bit of effort in. And if they're claiming MVC isn't site affiliated then he needs to cop a ban for this ****.

    The fight should be held in whatever venue generates the most money.

    That said, I don't really believe the choice of venue is the holdup. I think Rock Nation is having problems with the Pacquiao fight happening on 5 November. The Pacquiao PPV is gonna kill the Ward Kovalev PPV. I'd be VERY surprised to see both of these fights happen on PPV in November. My money is on Ward Kovalev in early 2017...

    Needs to be at Oakland, Needs to be at Oakland Needs to be at 155 Needs to be at Oakland. Oakland, 155, 155, Oakland.

    This is already starting to feel very familiar. When Ward was asked in the ring after that last joke of a fight if it was Kovalev next his answer was very dour. This fight isnt happening and its all down to Ward not wanting it.

    There is no way Roc Nation wouldnt want this fight in Vegas, they are losing money on Ward every single time and really would want one of thier guys in a better place than the Oracle. This fight actually sells.

    Didn't Kovalev's last fight in Vegas sell like 1,000 tickets only?

    Oracle at least has the built in fan base that a bloodthirsty Vegas might not attract to a fight like this.

    Ward is gonna blank Kovalev & peeps want to see a competitive fight.

    in the last year or so a few american fighters based on the west coast have said fighting on the east coast is not fair and that they want home advantage.

    these fighters were talking about opponents who live on other continents with oceans and 8 to 10 hour time zone differences.
