Thousands of Arthur Abraham fans are expected to flock into Monaco on
October 2. That is when King Arthur faces Carl Froch in Showtime's
Super Six World Boxing Classic third-round match in the famous
Chapiteau de Fontvieille, boxingscene.com reports.
Abraham can count on two huge fan groups: His gigantic German fan-base
plus his Armenian home support.
"There will be a lot of fans traveling to Monaco - from Germany, from
Armenia, from France, from everywhere," King Arthur said. "I have
chartered plans to fly them all in from Armenia and Berlin. Even in
training camp here at the Baltic Sea (Zinnowitz) my fans have been
asking me about tickets. They will drive down all the way from the
this coast to the other coast to watch the clash."
Up to 700,000 Armenians are estimated to be living in France. When
Abraham fights in Germany, he regularly draws market shares of more
than 40 percent on public TV. A capacity crowd of 14,000 fans cheered
him to his KO victory over Jermain Taylor in Berlin in October. When
he fought Andre Dirrell in Detroit, there were close to 1,000 Armenian
fans in attendance, meaning Monaco will not be as neutral as Carl
Froch had hoped.
"My Armenian countrymen are all over the world and they are very
passionate about boxing. They will lift me to victory in Monaco."
