    it only takes one fight to ruin any fighter
    i have seen many o's go or a tougher fight than excpected fought and that fighter may never be the same , just an opinion of course

    I have agood idea why! He's acting like a child not getting his own way, it's a horrible trait to have and one a boxer shouldnt have.

    If he was only after the re-match........he's got it or nearly, if he's now saying ah but I want I want i want....then get lost, if a million or near enough isnt enough....and I dont care what Froch would get..Froch is at the nd of his career...If Groves is to win like he says he is..he's a world champion that beat Carl Froch....roll in the big fights and big money..

    No brainer, clearly Groves isnt as actually that clever, or he doesnt really want any of it.

    He can't bang on about rematch or retire, I want to be a champ etc and then start moaning about a million quid.

    Fight Froch beat him and then Groves call the shots

    We can only imagine what this particular drunken scotsman must've been like as a nipper.. :rant

    Agree with McLion though, you can't really blame the ginger whinger for asking for more.

    For Froch the mark of a man isn't bowing to public pressure but doing what the hell he wants.

    He wins the rematch again anyway. He's a tougher specimen (no fanboy).

    Will be one hell of a dust up this.. :happy

    Am I missing something here why is Groves only getting 15% ?
    Isn't Froch vs Groves II a big fight because of Groves just as much as Froch ?

    15% is laughable right?

    its the rules , just as george asked for , its not laughable at all its his rank entitlement
    just remember he was offered 25% and knocked it back

    "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" is the version i've heard. weird that you choose to criticize froch for greed when groves is the 1 appealing for a rule change to get more money. i'm beginning to think he ain't so confident of the win as he makes out.

    Some of you don't know **** about boxing! Your talking as if Eddie Hearn is defo going to be putting this show on. He isn't!! So as it tuns out 15% from whoever wins the purse bid is likely to be much more than 25% of what Hearn offered

    out of principle i would reject 15%. it isn't reflective of reality.
    also to give your nemesis 85, i bet that doesnt sit right with any man
