Why is Kessler vs Ward Being Fought in CA?

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

I dont quite understand this!

Aint Kessler the #1 seed in this tournament and the #1 SMW in the world?

Shouldnt he have the Home Court advantage?

I mean in any other sport you have a torunament the #1 seed gets home court.

The other 2 fights are being held at Euorpe, why not this one.

And financially wise it doesnt make sense either, because nobody knows Ward.

The only fight of the opening round of the tournament that should of been fought in the US is Taylor vs Abrahm.

1.To get Abraham more exposure in the US market
2.Because Taylor sells more in the Biloxi area than Abraham in Germany



What you guys think and make about this?

Anybody????

Fighting in Europe is suicide. You might as well fight with one hand tied behind your back. Unlike in America, where decisions are heavily questioned. Hence why its in the states. Kessler won't get robbed, nor will Ward. Its fair

Well I wouldnt go to germany, but Kessler is from Denmark, they could of fought there or in England!!!!!

The point is kessler is the one on top, so he should of gotten homecourt!!!

And in teh states I wouldnt go to Texas.

Read the tounrey rules.

Every fighter fights at home at least once.

Nobody should have homecourt advantage IMO. It should be neutral ground. Judges got a big tendency to let the athmosphere and hype get the better of them in rather close rounds.

Ofcourse, but why kessler first fight had to be on the road.

he is the #1 SMW, like I said before in any other sport you are #1 in a tourney you get Home court first!!!!!!!!

He agreed to it.

His next fight will be at home anywya so I doesn't see the problem.

Ward is taking the bigger risk by fighting the best guy in the first fight.

maybe he thinks this will be one of the "easier" fights and he wants home advantage against someone he feels is a more dangerous opponent?
