What will be the winning, total purse bid for DeGale-Groves?

This should explain all;

:good

 

If a fight has being ordered by a sanctioning body or in this case a governing body (the British Boxing Board of Control), both sides get a period of time to come to an agreement. If they fail to reach an agreement a purse bid is ordered.

Basically it's a bit like an auction but one where you only get a chance to make one bid and you don't know what anyone else is bidding. So whoever wishes to promote the fight submits their offer to the Board.

The highest bidder gets to promote the fight and the board determines the split of the purse. That is how the purse will be distributed between the two fighters percentage wise.

Hope that makes sense :good

 

Almost led me straight back here...

Thank you, it makes sense. So for this fight, what would a realistic winning bid for a DeGale vs Groves fight?

 

I have no idea

But it will be a massive bid no doubt.

 

what the poll says is pretty spot on. 150-175k of which DeGale will get 60%

 

the style groves has adopted is not the style he boxed like through out his am days,its obvious hes copying haye ,hes gonner come a cropper fighting like that .

 

Any news of the winning bid yet?

 

:deal real talk.

 

this is the mandatory fight for the british title.but seems like degale wants to fight a recovering alcoholic.

i think degale has skills,put paws and slaps his punches,and isnt as slick as he looks vs poor opponents.

groves can get careless.but he can also stick to a game plan.

he has power,hes sparred with froch and haye!.

 

wonder who wins?
