    In BN today. Dave Coldwell is willing to hand the rights to promote the contest to Warren but Board need to approve it.

    Clev-Braehmer, Groves-DeGale :hey

    won't be a problem if both camps agree. bit suprised considering Skt and Hayemaker signed a deal for Groves fights.

    A Mag 7 style PPV doubled with Froch from the US please.

    Hayemaker have promoted 2 haeavyweight world title fights that made huge money.

    i would imagine Groves is being heavily compensated for going to a Warren bill.

    Probably more to do with the fact that Haye and Booth will be looking towards July 2nd...

    What was all that shite about it having to take place before April 11 then? Or is that void if Warren agrees a separate deal with Coldwell?

    if both parties agree not a problem.

    Perhaps with Haye vs Klitscko coming up they want to fully concentrate on that.

    He may have to pay Groves £160k plus but he doesn't have to pay DeGale the full whack.

    This would be an epic PPV.

    From the 02 Arena

    Frankie Gavin vs Steve Williams (Vacant Commonwealth Light Welterweight)
    Kell Brook vs Vitaliy Demyanenko (Interim WBO Welterweight)
    Tony Bellew vs Ovil McEnzie (Vacant British & Commonwealth Light Heavyweight)
    Ricky Burns vs Terdsak Jandaeng (WBO Super Featherweight)
    John Murray vs Kevin Mitchell (European Lightweight)
    James DeGale vs George Groves (British & Commonwealth Super Middleweight)
    Jurgen Braehmer vs Nathan Cleverly (WBO Light Heavyweight title)

    But Frank already bid what he was willing to pay. Why would he pay anymore for it?

    Exactly.

    This fight should be on a Warren show, provided all parties can reach an agreement over the $$$.

    Haye won't want to put this on an undercard because it will mean giving up precious pennies to somebody else.... the proof is in the pudding with the last two undercards, which have been absolutely dire.

    I can see this getting pulled still, if I'm honest.
