Hearn steering away from the re-match comments

GGG would do very little for PPV numbers in the UK.

 

If Froch was the hardman he thinks he is, and like's to portray himself as, he'd do the decent thing and give Groves the deserving rematch.

It's a great fight, and great earner for both fighters. It has the potential to be a worthy trilogy if Groves turns Froch over.

 

Too right he would be!

 

No one ever heard of brinkmanship in negotiations? No?

Groves is a free agent, entitled to a larger % in any potential rematch.

Hearn is letting Groves know he aint the only show in town.

What the **** is wrong wiht that

You realise it is a business at the end of the day?

 

Ward and GGG were just thrown in there, i'm pretty sure they'll try and make a fight with Chavez Jr seeing him as the softest touch for Froch at this point that also brings the most money.

 

Hearn <3's Froch

 

Either you didn't read the interview or are intentionally misquoting. Hearn was referring to Groves saying Froch has to fight him or retire, fight has to be in London, he has to get lions-share of the purse and Froch has no options.

Hearn said HBO would like Froch v Ward, Golovkin or Chavez, so he has options and said Groves certainly would not be getting the majority of the money.

Also I don't think it should be instantly assumed that Froch won't rematch Groves, considering he has fought all-comers worldwide, he is the antithesis of a ducker and this fight makes most financial sense.

 

Hence why that is in the quote.

 

not sure where you heard that or when because i heard Hearn about 10.30am saying that after seeing replay the ref defo stopped it too early and there has to be rematch around may/june!!and advised neither fighter to take a fight before then

 

Ward would be a tougher fight and a much more important fight for his legacy, if he could pull it off.

Gennady Golovkin would be a big fight and (at least) as much of a challenge as a rematch with Groves.

So neither of those options would be "ducking".


I think he should give Groves a rematch, but I don't think it needs to be immediate. And hey, it's not Froch's fault that the ref stopped the fight early. Froch can fairly complain that he was robbed of a clean stoppage. That's at least as true as any complaint Groves has.

 

Why so long? Ridiculous.

 

Also you noticed how he's always involved in boxers ring walks. What other promoter does that.

 

I seem to recall Barry doing the same with Eubank in the early 90s.

 

I think the rematch will happen as Frochs last fight, he said he has two more fights left in him. I think he fights in the states next either GGG or Chaves Jnr either fight is OK as far as im concerned given the war he was in with Groves. I dont think Groves will do him self any favours making to many demands to be honest at the end of the day he did lose and did his best to **** froch off from start to finish. I can see it getting to the point where Froch just says **** off you have had your chance and not giving groves a big big payday, with all the booing and hate flying around unfairly at Froch l I wouldent be surprised if he takes two big fights in the US and calls it a day.

Unfairly?

The man has spouted pure sh1t before the fight and continues to do so after... He's a deluded egomaniac.
