    Theres got to be something dodgy about the offer...low money, a rematch clause even though Groves is the Champion.

    Do you think they will call Warrens bluff and take the fight?

    Of course they wont, then Degale will say Groves is scared and Groves will say the offer was not good enough, it will go on like this for the next year until Degale wins the British title so the fight gets hyped up and up and then Sky can put it on PPV and everyone makes a fortune and Degale gets knocked out (I hope)

    Sounds about right. Apart from the last bit, I reckon DeGale stops him.

    Hopefully its a genuine offer and not a Warren/Don King 'offer'

    Maybe Warren's getting a bit cocky with his recent success.

    I did add the "I hope" part.

    I have to admit as much as I dislike him Degale is starting to look the bollocks. Ill stick with Groves but I am not very confident anymore.

    I think its a genuine offer, he wants his 30th year show to be special and domestically, it doesnt get better than this.

    I think if the offer from Warren is respectable then Booth and Groves will take it, although that may be me being a bit naive.

    Well Groves is complaining about struggling to find opponents. The offer might need some tweeking but I think the'll get it on.

    Booth made a cheeky 50 grand offer to DeGale for the Ruiz undercard. Expect Warren's offer not be realisic/serious as well.

    I haven't seen any clear evidence of either man being better right now, but I think groves looks that little bit more solid. And de gale hasn't convinced me at all.

    We haven't seen what happens when Degale gets hit yet.

    I think it will be a genuine offer and if it ain't Haye should make it public.

    I think Warren genuinly believes Degale will beat groves, and I think he feels that if Degale does that all the public and boxing fans will get behind him and turn Degale into a superstar.

    I think he is willing to take the risk at this point so I think the offer will be genuine.
