Hearn "Froch Not Motivated for Ward Rematch"

No **** he isn't. He knows he's getting that ass tapped again if they were to meet once more.

 

When a fighter is inactive and simply looking for easy and lucrative paydays at the late stages of their careers it's pretty evident that retirement is imminent.

If Froch had any kind of hunger he would have been keeping busy with regular defences while waiting for the big money fights. I've been saying this for a while now, Froch is basically retired, he's just delaying on pulling the trigger and making it official.

 

He was a month ago when Ward priced himself out by pretending he's good enough for Wembley...then instead fought Paul Smith in Jokeland

 

Because Ward draws nowhere near enough to sell out Wembley. Froch wasn't interested in fighting at Wembley because he knows Ward fighting there doesn't sell out and it costs a hell of a lot more to use it than the City Ground- and would sell less tickets most likely.

Ward claiming he should be fighting at Wembley, and blames Froch for the fight not happening:

Froch and his team knows that Ward/Froch would easily sell out Wembley.

Froch doesn't want a damn part of Andre.

Ever since the Super 6, Froch has been staying away from Dre.

 

Froch wouldn't dare talk back to his father. That's a paddlin.

 

No way in hell Froch/Ward sells out Wembley, you don't just fill up stadiums that size against anybody. While Ward is clearly the number 1 super middle he has little marquee value. Groves is a Londoner and has a decent fan base, he was headlining cards at Wembley Arena which has a capacity of 12,500 which is about double what Ward draws to his fights in Oakland. That combined with the controversy of the first fight led to a unique situation which is not the case with Ward/Froch.

I like Ward, I am a fan but he is deluded regarding his self worth. He isn't a Mayweather who could go to the UK and fill up the national stadium against someone like Khan or Brook, he's a Winky Wright, a Rigodeaux, he maybe elite but in reality he brings little more to the table than Kessler did in the rematch and that was not at Wembley stadium.

Both have made it very clear that both want control in the negotiations. Ward saying "Froch is not dictating anything" and Froch saying he isn't overly motivated and will only take the fight on his terms. Difference is Froch is content in not avenging the rematch while Ward wants that big payday he has yearned for so much, which is why he agreed to travel to the UK.

 

All his options

Ward
Dirrell
GGG
DeGale

Will beat him now and he knows it also. Poor note to retire on.

 

Retire Carl. Always said himself when he cant get motivated to face an opponant then he wont be motivated to train.

Ward gave Froch his biggest loss. Even in Carls own eyes i think he accepted he was beaten comfortably and clearly. Wouldnt accept J.Taylor was winning on points up to the KO, wouldnt accept Kessler beat him and claimed he had the Dirrell under control most the fight. But Ward, well he knew.

Made a hell of a career, earnt a hell of alot of respect from a hell of alot of ppl around the world who at one time saw you as nothing more than a slow 1 dimensional slugger. Hang em up Carl.

 

In other words he knows he cant beat Ward. I like and respect Froch but he knows he cant beat Ward.

 

Hearn said in another interview that part of the problem with the Ward fight is he is so boring, hardly a spectacle to retire on. Lose/lose situation. Chavez Jr got KOd, GGG is very dangerous and doesn't sell enough tickets and DeGale will be too far away.

 

He never has been.

I think Froch hangs them up now.

Unless Degale beats Dirrell, theres really no fight left for him.
