No one can bicker over home advantage.

The American public know of Joe, it's a unification bout and the USA or england are the same to Kessler.
So how many tickets would a fight like this sell in the USA, you reckon?
Not many. Disagree that the American public know of Joe--a few boxing fans definitely do, but it's not like he's a big name here. And no one here has heard of Kessler.
CC for shza. This is what I keep trying to say. Very few people in the USA know who Joe or Kess are. In fact most people would have no idea who Lacy is. A Joe vs Kess fight in the USA would not be a big bit gate draw but would do ok on ppv. A Joe vs Kess fight in Demark or England would,im sure, do HUGE numbers at the gate and still do well on ppv. If Joe were able to unify the super-mids he probably then would get a big name American. Untill that happens he wont be getting shat.
I dont agreee with the thought that most people dont know who Lacy is....He got more media attention in america for a Stretch that had a majority of the Boxing community Buzzing....
