Now that Froch Abraham is two losers fighting with no title on the line Froch doesn't have the WBC belt as a bargaining chip. And with the strength of the Euro, the fact that the O2 in Berlin is twice the size of the Nottingham Arena, and the fact that Sauerland have far more financial muscle than Fat Mick, the O2 Berlin looks like the likely venue. Abraham is already quoted on boxingscene saying the fight will end up there and judging by Sauerland father and son's ecstatic reaction in the ring at the final bell (how the hell did that old fucker get in there so quick?) I'm guessing the Sauerlands think they can swing it to Berlin. Those guys both looked like they'd hit the jackpot last night.
As far as I know the Super Six rules just say the venue has to be mutually agreed between the promoters. WBC sanctioning rules would favour Froch getting ti where he wants but they're no longer applicable so it'll come down to money, probably. Every fight so far in the Super Six has been won by the home fighter so it's something to watch.
