You can't remotely say that about Froch's "victory" over Dirrell, it stunk to high heaven but there was no way Froch actually won that fight, scoring it for him is practically impossible imo. I don't agree with Bilbo about Ward having that much pull either, I think it must have been more or less something his promoters had Showtime agree to beforehand(his fighting at home). There was no reason Kessler should've had to come to Oakland when he was the far more credible fighter. I imagine it just comes down the fights being as profitable there as anywhere in the States, rather than Ward himself actually being able to call shots.
This makes no sense at all. He has no pull yet Showtime had to make concessions to his promoters?

Why? If he has no pull? They could dictate terms to him no?

Clearly he's the top dog in this tournament and has the most pull of any of them.

He may not have many ticket paying fans but Froch can't even get on tv over here in the UK.
