Well the score 118-110 may get Ward to think twice about taking it to England, but I still think he needs to prove himselve in Europe, but I doubt that we will see the turtle out of the American shell

I'm not gunna slag Ward. He needs to come here. I think that interview was to put Eddie Hearn into a position to make him and offer. Like someone said he a few weeks ago on here, Ward just wants a big money offer from Hearn and he's just played a poker game there with that interview.
Also, contrary to popular opinion, Ward is not a runner. He is not a little bitch like Andre Dirrell. He will stand and fight when required and he is a world class fighter. His problem is that he is not a Floyd Mayweather draw. In the division, Carl is the money man because he's brought an entertainment factor. Like I said I think Ward wins in Carl's house, but still, why not take the risk and reap the reward? He has nowhere else to go.

Carl is the not money man. That's just laughable. He can bring some money in the UK. That's it. He wouldn't draw shit in the US. Or anywhere else. A true money man gets 70% or more of the purse. Floyd Mayweather is money man. Pac is a money man. Oscar De La Hoya was a money man. Mike Tyson was a money man. Carl Froch is no where close to a money man. How the fuck you gonna be a money man and make about the same as your opponent?

Ward's last fight against Dawson made him a $1.365 million purse. He'd make maybe four times that fighting Froch in thr UK. Ward can fight peeps at home and make Dawson money on HBO or travel and make a share of a PPV in Britain. Where else can Ward make that kind of dough?

If this fight did 1 million buys then that's nine million dollars that the fighters/promoters get to split before that gate, HBO, sponsorship and foreinn TV sales are calcaulated. In America Ward/his promoter gets a chunk of a half full west coast stadium and whatever HBO pay.
There is absolutely no question that a UK PPV Froch is the biggest possible payday for Ward.
Ward is on record since his operation as wanting the biggest possible paydays.
Do the math baby.

Roll on Froch -Ward!!!! In the UK, it has to happen.

I agree with all the others. Ward has had his hometown and CW and now it is his turn to step it up. Froch has the belts and has shown that he does better in rematches. Ward is getting sloppy and arrogant and in some ways that is good. Froch is arrogant, but he is backing his shit up and winning. Ward seems to be the fighter just wanting to cash it in, whilst Froch seems to take this legacy talk very seriously.
Ward should be a man and return the favour like Kessler was man enough to do.
