If people recall, Abraham REALLY wanted to fight Dirrell in California, for the same reason. But dirrell had that "injury" and it was postponed then moved to Detroit.

Originally posted by Unholy View PostIt may seem unfair on the surface, but when looking deeper into circumstances and official attendance figures, it becomes easier to understand.
Ward's first fight was contracted to be in Oakland vs. Kessler. Ward drew 10,277 in attendance to the fight. His next fight was scheduled to be vs. Jermain Taylor, and that fight would have probably went to the dirty South for a Taylor home field advantage, but Taylor withdrew after the first round loss and Allan Green entered as a sub. Since Allan Green is not well known, he agreed to go to Ward's backyard to make more money. Ward drew 8,797 in attendance to the fight. Those were his only two fights in the Super Six, as his 3rd fight was a non-tournament/tune-up bout after Dirrell withdrew from the tournament (His fight vs. Dirrell wasn't going to be in Oakland/CA either).
10,277 vs. Kessler
8,797 vs. Green
4,100 vs. Bika (non-tournament bout)
How many fans in attendance do you think Froch and Abraham get at home.
