Should Groves accept 50k to fight DeGale on a December 11th??

Boring...wake me up when they get in the ring , you set of accountants argue the toss amongst yourself :thumbsup.

 

Couldn't agree more.

 

So if I’m reading this correctly, it was 50k for Groves and the counter was inferior? Some sources would be appreciated.
If this is fact, then it is a clear duck by Hayemaker. Warren has pushed his chips in and they have folded. This was massive opportunity for Groves to become a big name in the sport. Proving the fight is a competitive battle, even in defeat, Groves would have raised his profile and enhanced his career. DeGale has a love/hate following so I’m sure Groves would have had a lot of support. If he wins the fight, it would be a real statement for Hayemaker. Franks stable dwarfs them so I guess they believe they couldn’t handle a defeat to one of their prospects like he would.

 

:dealExactly.

 

No I have seen Groves call Degale out as much.

 

How come you still see it as a duck?

I just see both Degale and Groves as pawns a the moment. It doesn't matter how much either wants the fight, the promoters aren't going to let it happen unless it's on their terms. They could go to thier promoter and beg for the fight to be made, but it aint going to happen

 

No one said the offer was inferior, just that it is less than DeGale's normal payday.

So it may be that DeGale was offered 75k (Booth has previously offered him £50k to fight Groves) but he normally recieves 100K.

Remember this press release is from Sports Network who will clearly twist it in their favour.

 

Did Groves specify who was going to hold the coats when he called out Degale? What about if a teacher came half way though the fight, would it be a no contest? Is kicking on the floor allowed?

I hope DeGale pulls Groves jumped over his head and then knees him in the face until he cries!!

 

your baseing this on what warren says ,i dont beleive that degale has been paid over 50 thousand for one of his fight.

 

exactly hes never top of the bill due to the early stage of his career if warrens paying the olympians 50k+ a fight he would lose on every show he run
degale will spark groves anyway if i was him i would say lets do winner takes all after all the **** groves talks he cant be seen to be bak down

 

That's what I think, Booth is his promoter and knows that he can make a lot more money out of Groves if he builds him up more.

However if Groves wins then he will be a maincard attraction so it may be one of those speculate to accumulate situations.

I do like the way Booth has managed Groves so far but I really want to see this fight.

Big risk from Warren as it could go either way but it would be easier to rebuild Degale due to Olympic gold and he has a lot of other fighters on his books.

For Booth this would be a massive risk as behind Haye, Groves is the only fighter they have who could in the future top a bill.
