I was thinking around 60/40 Froch. He has the belts, he sells out arenas, he sells PPV's. Ward is the no.1 fighter though. Maybe 60/40 is being a bit generous to Ward?
Not a prayer.. If he asks for an unrealistic split this will never get made. Froch is the money man @ 168
Come on mate, Ward is clearly the number one at 168 and he's already schooled Froch and he's going to Froch's back yard he deserves at least a 55/45 split. I'm British too, just being honest.
Lol @ Money Man. He doesn't have a guaranteed purse regardless of whom he fights like Ward does. And he needs a fellow big name in order to get big money which, quite frankly, isn't that big.
granted Ward is the no.1 but he is bringing nothing else to the table. Froch has the belts, sells tickets, sells PPV's and has the personality to sell a fight. Ward brings nothing else to the table he has zero personality and can't sell anything. 60/40 Froch and that's being generous to Ward.
if Ward has the balls to fight in the UK 60-40 Ward If Ward wants to fight in Okland 70-30 Froch 50-50 everywhere else
Ward is the only one selling tickets? Lets say they fight at Wenbley. Which fight do you think will intrigue the British fans more, Froch-Bika or Froch-Ward? Ward of course. Sky sports will go huge on Froch fighting "The best in the world" and "Froch seeks revenge" You can hype a fight against Ward because of who he is and what hes done. Ward doesnt need actual fans, British people would turn up in their droves to see Froch fight the best. It would draw casuals, because Sky will build it up massively. Against someone like Bika(Who may well be WBC Super Middleweight champ soon), Sky would find it hard to build up.
U guys gotta understand that being no 1 in a weightdivision dont mean that u get automatically the bigger share. Wlad is the no 1 at HW but Haye is the bigger draw so he got a 50/50 split.
