    Golden Boy Promotions' Richard Schaeffer, said, "Golden Boy, as the US based promoter for George Groves, is happy to work with Frank ****** and welcomes the addition to the promotional team. Frank has the platforms and knowledge in the UK to further George’s career while Golden Boy will continue to open opportunities for George in the US. Our combined efforts will certainly lead George to world championships and make him a star for many years to come."

    Promoter Eddie Hearn said talks with Groves and his manager/trainer Booth had gone well, until he realised Golden Boy Promotions had the “worldwide rights” to George Groves. “It’s not something we were overly pleased with,” he said, revealing he was still in talks with five or six other big names to add to his Matchroom stable.

    “If George is going to be good and goes to fight in America we would lose control. Adam had kept me up to speed with all of the offers that they were getting. They got a very good deal and good luck to them.”

    The Hearns seem like the most decent, fair people in boxing. Jeez...

    It will be very interesting to see who Fwank lines up for Degale and Groves in the next fight

    So ****ing what? He’s been well paid and will continue to be. Fact is, Groves beat him. He deserves the rewards, not that hype-job Chunky.

    If Groves is really promoted by Golden Boy......basically ****** is just putting him on his shows in the UK every couple of years. He really doesnt have any control over Groves career.

    Groves on facebook...

    Yes I have signed a promotional agreement with Frank ****** (Yes Shocking) lol I would also like to confirm to everyone that I am still managed and trained by Hayemaker (Adam Booth) and this a decision that me, Adam and David Haye have made together to ensure I carry on my path to becoming a World Champion. Will have news of my next fight soon! Exciting times.........

    as long as Booth & GBP are the main players, Fwank is just a pawn there so Groves can fight in London.
