Poor fella just bet his purse to De Gale on live TV. Adam Booths reaction said it all! Slaps forehead http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/13421458.stm
As much as I dont like Degale's attitude he played a smart one on Groves. When they were both on the ringside show a few weeks ago Groves tried the same thing but Degale just brushed it off and told him to sit down. Degale does it at the final press conference in front of a room full of people and on live tv so Groves has to accept or he looks like a loser already.
X2 , Booth really did **** himself , he should of stood up and backed his man , Jim McDonnel acted disgustingly and if anything Booth should of stood up and give McDonnel a ****in good mouth full , the old **** !!!! Fair play to Groves , the first thing he said is " this is not about money " !! , great stuff !!!!
Groves is obviously confident in his ability. Then again, Groves not taking the bet would have made him look a complete ****. Either way, Groves is ****ed.
De Gale played him big time but if Groves wins De Gale will have to leave the country,he's gonna look like the biggest twat of all time..
It's not happening. The British board don't allow it, which is a bit of a shame but it was just a publicity stunt, it appears.
I have no emotional involvement in this fight, but for pure chaos and fun after I hope De Gale loses. He would never be able to show his face in Britain again.
