    Title says it all really. If the Chavez Jr fight can't be made, would Froch v Kessler 3 sell in America?

    Vegas I doubt it, east coast maybe

    Hbo would have to promote it right or have it part of a stellar double or triple header

    Ive no idea why anyone would want to host this fight in America, so its kind of moot.

    I was just thinking that as both have faced each other in their respective home countries, to have the decider in a neutral country made sense.

    Froch likes the showbiz side of boxing, its why he wants to fight in Vegas.

    I don't think this fight sells big in the US. Two Europeans like them would sell great in the UK. Two Americans fighting in the UK or China would flop.

    I'd buy a ticket to it but I'm a hardcore fan. If Kessler had been more active I think it would sell in Vegas since he's not known here I doubt it.

    Possibly some Brits would travel over there. I can't comment on kessler's fanbase but wouldn't see them travel over. two European fighters, so very unlikely that US people would want to see it, only hardcores.

    This combined with kesslers inactivity and not in the spotlight, I would say definitely no.
