Froch attempting to strong-arm Sauderland

Agreed.

I know it couldn't happen, but I wish this (and most of the other fights, tbh) would take place in neutral territory.

 

In my opinion the key is "wherever it makes the most commerical sense." As long as they use top notch judges and a good ref everything should work out.

 

I dont beleive sauderland when he says there was no verbal agreemant, that man is a scumbag......

I dont think froch would lie about somthing like this, he might be a jackass, but he isnt a liar....

I think sauderland is trying to stack the deck for there golden boy by bullying froch's promoter (hennesey-this guy is horrible) around.....

 

Woah there fella. It's all speculation at the moment; nobody's proven anything as of yet. All sides are saying different things but you're obviously taking Sauerland's word as fact. I don't believe anything right now. I'll wait a bit longer until actual facts emerge. Also remember verbal contracts can be legally binding.

 

neutral site sounds fair to both fighters

 

Froch is dillusional. I read this crap in todays paper. He has such an inflated opinion of himself that he actually thinks Sauerland are going to hand over a cool mil as a bonus for him to fight Abraham?

He said in the ring that he had no excuses. Now his changed his tune and says he was robbed hence why he wants a signing bonus... Someone needs to tell Froch to buy a clue.

 

Alledgely they had a verbal agreement but thats about as binding as non sticky glue.

 

It's such a load of **** that boxing has got to the point where the judges are this **** and untrusted not to show bias.

That needs sorting out. It's like they just put any old person as the judges.

 

Why do I need good luck getting one enforced? I'm not a promotor and really couldn't give a **** where it's held. I'm just waiting for the dust to settle and a date/venue to be agreed amicably. I wanna see a fight in the ring, not out of it.

Allegedly, yes. Just reminding people who completely dismiss them as meaningless. Not suggesting it's easy though.

 

Froch was given a close decision at home which I thought Dirrell won. He lost a close (on 2 cards) decision on the opponent's home ground, which I thought Kessler won. I think that Froch could beat Abraham but it will surely be close, so I can understand why he wants the fight at home.

However it is quite hypocritical. Before this fight a reporter asked him if he needed to knock out Kessler to win. He replied that he would get a fair decision. I fact I have the quote from the scene of boxing:

Now if Froch is happy about the judges before the fight after previously getting what I thought was a gift against Dirrell, but then complains about being robbed when he genuinely loses it does seem hypocritical.

 

can hennesey pay abraham a bonus to fight in Nottingham is the real question

 

Froch is right he won't win a points decision in Germany.

 

Hennesy have about as much economic clout as Greece. Froch can say what he likes. The hell he's going to turn down a pay day like that. He's got to be super stupid to turn down money like that.
