    No excuses from froch now! he obviously wants the fight because they put in an offer the day before. No one can deny groves getting 25% is too much, so money sorted now too. Fight on. Let the best man win!

    Will Froch pull a Riddick Bowe?

    The contract as was (before the IBF ordered the rematch) would likely have included a rematch clause and a multitude of options.

    I get the feeling Groves doesn't like Hearn and doesn't want to re-sign with him. I also get the feeling that money isn't the main motivator for Groves yet.

    Yep your right, but if you were Groves would you trust Hearn after the Froch fight?

    You clearly see Groves giving Hearn a mouthful at the end of the last fight and Eddie didn't look to pleased as his old dad Barry had to calm George down.

    Another thing about Groves he came from working in a close tight knit group with Adam Booth and David Haye at Hayemaker who liked to work as free-agents with different promoters.

    Groves messed up big time . He only gets 15per cent now . I bet by end of week groves accepts the offer he turned down. It goes to purse bids he will not b paid a million

    He won't, he'll cite some type of volcanic ash cloud issues if he vacate. He has form.
