Andre Ward: "Froch-Groves II is a domestic fight"

[MBE]

In an interview on sky sports toe-to-toe boxing podcast Ward came out with this line. I found it particularly strange considering the magnitude of the event.

If 80,000 people is considered 'domestic' then I'm sure fighters are crying out to reach the dizzying heights of fighting on the 'world stage' to a couple of hundred in Oakland.

He also gave his usual chat about how both fighters don't want to fight him. I'm sure they don't as there's much bigger names out there and this sport is called PRIZE-fighting.

Anyway what do people think? Is this really just a domestic fight?

ward wants that bread, sadly he's yet to realize fighting in oakland won't do, get yourself a passport and just go overseas.

[bojangles1987]

That domestic fight is bigger than any fight Ward could possibly participate in.

[JACK1190]

I'm sick of hearing this c*nts bitterness towards this fight, if Froch wins this fight he should come over here and fight and stop being a little girl, scared to fight overseas.

[Fetta]

Well he isnt lying. It is a domestic fight.

Im excited for it

[Chrismart]

I bet Ward wishes he was getting ready to take part in a domestic fight infront of 80'000 fans.

Damn this dude is hella sour, Carl Froch stay hurting this clown feelings.

Man it up ward, get off your snotty high horse and man it up. This fight was available to you if you just were willing to go overseas but you stay insisting on like you are the A side you are not, Carl Froch is the A side.
