The rematch, Carl Froch - Mikkel Kessler 2 fight chat thread - Warriors Call !!!

US being bad mouthed by a country that's not even as big as some of it's states.

And yet our small country, that isn't as big as some of your states, owned you and ruled you for years.

He wasn't bad mouthing your country. He was bad mouthing the ideology that the US is where you must travel to prove your worth in boxing, while US fighters think they don't have to travel to prove anything. It is a moronic opinion when the US no longer has a stronghold on boxing.

What's moronic is a fighter thinking he can dictate financial terms to a fighter who beat him with ease. How much sense does that make? You want him over there than pay him what he deserves. It's that simple. Froch and his people claim they want Ward again. And that they want him in the UK. That's fine. But have they ever made him an offer to prove they really want it? It's easy to say you want it and do nothing. How about prove you want it and make an offer

I basically said the same thing earlier in the thread that Ward was using his interview to reveal his negotiating hand. I never said he didn't want it. I'm saying he should want it. While it may seem ridiculous to you, that is Boxing. If you are not the draw, you can't dictate the terms. Hopkins already said to Froch he'd come to the UK, and Froch would likely make more for that than he would for Ward. Since Andre wants the money fights, he doesn't really have another door to go through.

Exactly. If there's no offer there's no door to go through. And based on the post fight interview it sure sounds like Froch would rather fight Kessler again than Ward
