    Groves looks like he just tries to copy fighting like Haye!

    I cant see it being a genuine offer from Warren. Id love to see them fight in December but if was promoting either of them, i hold it off for another year and let it simmer.

    For the record i firmly beleive Groves will knock DeGale clean out.

    Groves is more solid, plants his feet and bangs allot harder IMO. I can see DeGale getting frustrated, start playing silly and then getting sparked!

    Yeah Warren's desperate for a headliner and I reckon he sees DeGale and Clev as his best options. If he makes it to the big time, I think with DeGale it wouldn't really matter if people got behind him; he's got the Naz-type effect that people will pay to see him lose as well as people paying to see him win. He splits the boxing fans already, imagine him on every TV show available selling a big fight, he'd get every dickhead in the pub talking about him.

    Although I suspect the difference between him and Naz is that Naz didn't give a rat's arse what people thought of him, DeGale seems eager to want people to like him.

    This offer will be 'shite' or a bluff: Degale - can be a 'manufactured' world champ a la Khan, without fighting Groves.

    For me this is Warren pretending to reward true fans with a spicy, hardcore fight. The truth is this makes much more money (for both) when they are both further on in their careers and it becomes a British superfight. Right now Groves isn't well known enough (to casual fans) and thus is far too high risk, low reward for Degale/Warren.

    Also I doubt a technical 'big-fight' boxing contract would be made completed so soon after Saturday's fight

    100% agree, plus Groves has a fight coming up soon. Its typical Warren bull****...

    Warren & DeGale will blame Groves for the fight falling through. Groves/Haye will blame Warren for being a ****. The trash talk will go on for another year until they finally sign.

    This is the dream fight for me. **** Pacquiao & Mayweather, this is the one all British fans wants to see.

    Yep, last nights "offer" from Frank was just the start of an on-going "will they? won't they?" fight that will simmer for at least another year or so.

    Absolutley but will Warren and Hayemaker Promos be able to work together on such a big fight (either now or it seems even more unlikely the bigger it gets)

    To be fair, I don't think they should fight yet either. If I was Warren or Booth I wouldn't make this fight yet

    **** me, 50k would be enormous for ether man for this fight IMO.

    I have no confidence whatsoever of this fight coming off in December.

    Groves will chicken out of the fight no doubt. Booth will make up some stupid excuse and Groves will carrying on trying to live off of DeGale's back and stirring **** with homo vids and such...you would think that with all the silly nonesense Groves has been spouting he would jump at the opportunity of getting knocked the **** out by DeGale but he will not...it will be 'oooh they wanted a reamatch..oooh they did not offer enough, I am worth more than that.....I want to fight him for a bigger title' or some other excuse.

    DeGale will be fighting for big titles and Groves will be spinning round undercards till he gets beaten and us fans will have missed out on a good fight....if they become good enough to fight for world belts then let them fight again later but let them fight now aswell.

    I'm sure that was what Haye offered before and s
    Degale laughed it off.

    Will need to be in the region of100k if you ask me.

    I doubt this will happen next but I seriously hope Groves batters Degale.
