Carl Froch MIA?

What happened with this guy and with the fight?

There was no news for a while, after daily bombardments of spin and hype, and then there was this:

[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=+2]Froch-Taylor unraveling?[/SIZE][/FONT]


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Is the camp of WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch may be having second thoughts about facing ex-middleweight champion Jermain Taylor? The Taylor camp has announced that Taylor will fight Froch on April 25 at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut, and SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING is already onboard to televise the clash. The Froch camp, however, has denied that a deal is done. Froch had previously publicly called out Taylor and proclaimed that “they will need to drag Taylor to the ring kicking and screaming because I don’t think he wants any part of me,” and offered to come to the U.S. to fight him. Taylor warned over the weekend, “Froch has been running his mouth a lot, now it’s time to shut him up!” Stay tuned…

...and then, nothing again.

Are they still negotiating? If the fight is on, where's the interviews and hype? Where's the confirmation from Froch/Fat Mick? Froch's not the shy, quiet type, is he? Where's the chat coming from his end?:huh

 

It appeared to be, but it clearly isn't.

 

No...it's not as simple as that. And Taylor's people didn't announce it...not the way they usually do. Just a guy from their camp saying it was a done deal.

 

Heard something? Then why didn't we hear something? :huh

What's the big secret that must still be kept? Why can't they at least say the fight will be officially announces next week, "because there are still a couple of Is to dot and Ts to cross"?

 

Right, so if it's not something major, how do you explain the article I posted (sent by the Taylor camp, presumably) and even assuming it's a negotiating tactic aimed at getting a small concession, why isn't Froch hitting back with similar press-releases? And if it's 98% done, why isn't Froch/Fat Mick talking about it?

 

You've been around the block a couple of times; don't you think it's strange that this fight has not been officially done and dusted yet, given everything that's gone on so far?:huh

 

Froch me if I know. Don't think he'll win, to be honest.

Anyway, back to the thread.
