Carl Froch Statement on Groves Fight

Offering him a **** deal or something. As far as I'm aware he didn't make a million 1st fight. So they said the offer is double. So he won't be getting over around 1.9mil. I think what he's doing is right. This is talked about as the biggest fight in the UK that can sell out Wembley. Fury was going to get 5 million for Haye, so Groves is right to reject it. Also Fury v Haye was for no belts, this is a unification fight.

 

Knowing he took much less than Froch in the 1st meeting and how much the rematch would generate ££££ wise, I think Groves and his team know they 1. could get more and 2. deserve more than double the original.

 

He got 500K in the first fight so offered him a round 1M.. for a fight that will probably get Frock closer to 5M.

Cowboys R Us

 

not a unification fight, groves holds no belts.

 

Groves should just take the money and fight. He's going to have a superb career.

Although to fair this should be a 50/50 split.

 

2 Belts on the line. You know what I mean.

 

Current split being offered to Groves is closer to 80-20 to Frock

50/50 aint happening, he has no belts and is not a mandatory

65/35 maybe 70/30 and Groves will pocket a couple of million and get his chance for the belts and mega millions in the future.

 

This just makes it even clearer that Froch is trying to dodge George Groves.

I really hope GG never fights Froch because we will all remember Froch for bottling a rematch but GG will move on now and make his own career out of bigger and better fights.

 

This fight is happening... Chavez numbers clearly dont add up to anything close to the rematch... Frock is looking at 5M minimum for a retirement fight. He loves dollar.

All about the haggling now... 99% sure this will be made before the month is out.

 

Also Groves has the IBF appeal for rematch going on... will wait for that.

 

Groves should be grateful he is being offered a second chance with more money. I thought groves wanted a chance to avenge the "robbery" of the first fight so if this is true George should have happily accepted

Froch has the "world" title, he "won" the first fight and so holds all the cards, it will be on his terms and rightfully so if you think about it, Disappointed in Groves if and again i stress the word IF, this is true.

 

I understand the fight could be worth more but I'm a little disappointed groves rejected,unless its with a view to negotiate-which it probably is

 

it's just haggling... you never accept first offer... groves knows frock cannot get anything close to the kind of money this fight brings.... doing right thing.

 

one more fight against groves and he will more than double his total career earnings.... so you tell me.. should 36 yr old Frock do that? or go out to vegas for some fun?

Everybody is playing a game of haggling... its obvious now the offer is official.

Fight will happen... stupendous money not to make it happen.

Both fighters just want their piece of the pie.
