Who will win the battle of the venues for Froch-Abraham?

It'll end up neutral.

Maybe France.

 

I don't think UK TV money could be any lower for Froch.

 

ireland haha

 

Depends how much one side is prepared to budge to pay the other to fight in their own country and if the other is prepared to take a bigger slice to move to the venue with the bigger pie.

If Froch really won't fight in Germany and UK is no good for Saurland then I think it might end up being in on in a smaller venue, maybe a casino where travelling numbers are less of a problem and Showtime can broadcast live.

 

Kalle Sauerland was willing to pay Green good money to fight Kessler in Denmark. Maybe he will make the same offer to Froch?

 

Would anyone be totally suprised if this ends up on Berlin? Lets be honest here, Mick Hennessey hasn't got the financial clout to allow Carl Froch to make the demands he is making and the most neutruel it will get is Basle, Zurich or, at a push, Copenhagen on the same card as Kessler's fight against Ward.

Froch needs to settle down and concentrate with the training rather than concern himself with something he is unable to make a difference to.

 

Copenhagen would be a good choice of venue. Froch actually made some fans in Denmark from the Kessler fight.

 

Froch hasn't even got a belt now to give him champion status. There's no way Hennessey or Froch have the clout to demand anything unless Showtime mediate. But that's not really Showtime's place here.

It'd be a real shame for the fans if it goes to the US or Canada. Hopefully they can do it somewhere like France where they hate the Germans and the Brits, so all bias cancels itself out. Put it in a medium sized venue in Paris, pack the place out - good work. Easy to get to, cheap to stay, great to hang around.

 

What a ****ing joke Froch is turning into. I was always a big fan of his, but he's showing himself up to be a big whiney cry baby here. Just accept your promoter ****ed up, move on and take the fight wherever there is most money to be made. He's not going to get that many more paydays. Especially if he's beaten by Abraham.

 

Agreed.Go the location which will pay the most.The douchebag isn't fighting for trophies anymore.Denmark is as good a place as any.Easy for the Brits and Germans to get there.

 

edit

 

This should have all been decided before the tournament.

All fighters have one fight at home, one fight away and all 6 fighters fight on the same megacard in Vegas for the third fight.
