Dirrell's uncle/trainer says they will pull out if the money and venue is not right

Well to be fair to Dirrell he deserves a fair cut and the fight should be at a neutral venue. No way it should be in Wards neck of the woods. All these super 6 fights would have been better off at neutral venues as a matter of principal really. Some dodgy stuff has gone on in almost every fight.

i agree, EVERY fight in this tourney should have been on neutral ground, it's pretty ridiculous that Ward has fought both of his Super Six fights in the luxury of his hometown, fuck it put the fight in New York and neither guy can whine about it

All this whining and crying especially when all this stuff was supposidly worked out before hand is getting old. I say fuck both of them, tell them to fight here and for this much and if not carry on the tourny with the guys left willing to fight. All anyone really wants to see is froch and abraham anyway. This sport gets so frustrating, what happened to all this "i'll fight anyone anywhere talk........and people wonder why so many move to mma daily....

Neutral venues won't happen, because most of these guys draw really good at home. Ergo, more money for the promoters.

Dirrell just needs to buck up and honor the contract he signed.

In a perfect world there would be neutral venues, but this isn't a perfect world, this is capitalism.....

Ward isn't trying to fight in Oakland, he wants it in a neutral venue according to him. Soo, hopefully the thing happens in Vegas.

I am not against the idea of an impartial venue if it can help to generate more money, plus it's interesting to be able to see your local fighter fighting where you live but I think it would be mandatory that the 3 judges and the referee do not come from the country of neither of the fighter though.

I am picking Dirrell to beat Ward. Dirrell is faster and hits harder than Ward. I dont think the venue matters.

That's right.

i completely agree, if it was already decided and agreed on i don't see what the fuss is, neither guy should be given the home advantage, and neither guy is much outside the tourney, so they need to take a dose of humility and just make the fucking fight
