Carl Froch MIA?

dunno.

if I did I'd tell you.

Its definately a bit strange. I think a lots on the line for Taylor and his team. They know if he loses they really have nowhere to go so they are probably trying to ensure he's got every negotialble advantage both financially and professionally. I don't think the fight will happen yet. I don't think that Froch, even with the title, is a big eough name for Taylor or HBO. Thats where the problems will lie. Froches demands will be viewed as excessive by the yanks and Taylors entitlements as a challenger will be considered equally ridiculous. We'll see.

 

I think people need to get the concept of Taylor being a challenger out of their heads. We're not in the eighties anymore, HBO don't care about the alphabets and haven't done for a long time. Just because Froch picked up a vacant belt doesn't mean Taylor, or HBO, are in anyway obligated to yield to the demands of, what they deem to be, a non-entity.

This may sound harsh but it's the reality. I respect Froch, loved the Pascal bout but, he's not entitled to a bout with the former world middleweight champion simply because he holds an alphabet strap. I hope the fight happens, and think it will, but if Froch thinks he can swagger up to the negotiating table and give it 'champion this, deserve that' it's a misguided approach.

 

i think the delay is frochs end, i wouldn't be surprised to here if frochs team getting a little cold feet as lets be honest... taylors resume is well quiet impressive on the names he faught. Also taylor has a lot more skills then froch so frochs only chance is to land a big shot wobble taylor and go for the kill. No way he can out-box taylor so hard hard fight for froch

 

good post :good

 

I REALLY hope this fight happens at Foxwoods as I booked my flights yesterday! Its on the Showtime website and on Carl home page.

It'll happen :bbb

 

Tyson Fury makes his U.S debut on the undercard according to Lou DiBella....

 

What deal did you get on the flights?

Def up for a trip over to Conneticut if I can raid the kids trust funds

 

fut ****ers notebook on espn has it as a done deal

 

Frock and Mick wants it at Notts.

 

I think this fight will still be made, It just seems to be the way these days, rumors are flying daily and negotiations are terribly slow, everything is played out on the net.
It was the same with Hatton/Pacquiao and is the same with Haye/Wlad.
It's a logical fight and i don't think there's any ducking going on, just dot the I's and cross the T's but it's such a ****ing tedious business with all the lawyers and TV networks, Not to mention the actual fighters demands.
