    Mayweather has a fan base in Vegas???? Sure didn't sound like it at the end of the Pacquaio fight The crowd made it very plain what they thought of him jumping up in corner yelling " I know I won" & the crowd booed & jeered
    No Mayweather fights in Vegas because he has the commission in his back pocket. They'll keep his bogus 0 going no matter what:patsch

    But they were flexible to Froch, Arthur Abraham, and Edwin Rodriguez. Non of those fights took place in Oakland.

    Ya, because Mayweather cares what some irrelevant Pacturds think about him.

    By the way did you happen to check the list of 2015 highest paid entertainers.

    Guess who's number 1?

    You need to get a life and quit being obsessed about a man who doesn't even know you exist.

    Mayweather has a huge fanbase. Hence why guys who fight without him never sell a million on their own. Hell, some never sell 500,000 PPV or sell out arenas without $10 ticket prices(I don't knock those prices either, I buy those tickets quick)

    They must also be in Oscars pocket too for those 2 Canelo fights with the outrageous scoring of 114-114 and 117-111.
    Plus Bob Arum must have some fingers in his ass for the last 30 years of jerking people around out there.

    SOB Ward is afraid to fight outside his home town, afterall, he gets his own personal referee, does not have to follow the rules, gets his judges, his own boxing commission, etc., Ward was the only one who did not have to travel in "his" tournament........................Ward won against Kessler with an illegal headbutt that came from across the ring, it was intentional, but Ward's referee said nothing. Ward should have been disqualified................

    Kessler took the fight in Oakland because he was overconfident & thought he was gonna beat ward easily,

    Allen green was a late replacement & didn't sell in Tulsa like that

    Bika wasn't a S6 fight & bika is a certified b side

    Abraham wasn't in Oakland & Abraham had more Armenian fans in LA to watch him than Americans to watch ward

    Froch wasn't in oakland & froch had fought on the east coast a few times in thrilling fights so there was no advantage

    Dawson was in Oakland but dude had no fanbase & got booed out of his own city

    Rodiguez & smith were stepping stones who cares

    Moral of the story is ward has not fought in oakland all the time. And he has fought in major major markets a few times so if he can find the right opponents La, new York Jersey or Atlantic city are possibilities in the near future.

    Yeah gee... I wonder what’s wrong with it. It’s ok for that sleazbag Ward to always have home cooking going on because... “B.. Bu.. But Ward would get robbed overseas doe!”

    Like always... Ward didn’t do nuthin wrong and NEVER benefited from ****ing fighting across the pond TWICE in his whole career right? ;)

    Why did everyone have to fly across the ocean to fight in America at all, much less his hometown. SOB should have a rematch with Kovalev in Russia, with Russian judges, referee and boxing commission, then let's see who win! SOB the testicle puncher, Tony Weeks the crook, Bob Bennett the corrupt liar. Vegas is near SOB's home, Roc Nation owned the judges, referee, boxing commission, etc. watch SOB land the low blows! Yes, they landed on the letter below Kovalev's belt!

    Bit of a difference in comparing a whole country to a state, dont you think? Regardless of size.

    I dont have a problem with a champ defending at home, but the S6 situation didnt seem right to me when everyone else agreed to travel.

    Think another thing was that Kessler was willing to face Ward in the US but Ward didnt face Kessler in Denmark, Froch faced Ward in the US but Ward didnt face Froch in the UK

    Another thing to add is that Wlad and Vitali were foreigners to the Germans, they practically fought on foreign land, Same with Abraham, another foreigner fighting in another country. Ward is an American, born and raised there, he is going to have an advantage since he is practically an American fighting in America. Wlad and Vitali were Ukrainians fighting in Germany, similar to how Golovkin is a Kazakh fighting in America.
