well worth £15.

 

I thought it was strange to but Kotelnik, Mabuza and Murray have all turned the fight down. Apparently the only other fighter HBO would aprove is Peterson (suprising again after his brothers poor performance).

From a Top Rank point of view, Peterson will be getting paid well, its good exposure and a very winnable fight.

I think its a 50-50

 

True but both have taken there risks and come up short, Oritz in far more dramatic fashion. The winner moves on, the loser become a named opponent.

 

Will show up Groves and Booth big time when DeGale and Smith are fighting infront of 8,000 and Groves goes un noticed by Sky, Press and Fans in Vegas.

 

I do see Booth and Groves point of view. The fight is worth far more than 50k. But by beating Smith DeGale will put himself into a position where he is 2 steps ahead of Groves and won't have to fight him. The fight is now a few years away.
