    Hopefully the contract situation has now been sorted.

    A decent tune up followed by 2 meaningful fights a year against names and he'll get some decent money.

    That's the optimist in me!

    So you think Ward could sell out 80,000 seats with Froch's help? :think

    To get even 8,000 Ward would need to be willing to travel- he's not.

    Secondly he would have to provide some of his own fans (like Groves did) to hit 80,000- he's doesn't have any.

    Ward vs Golovkin is far better.

    I guarantee you Ward vs Golovkin would do nowhere near 80,000 fans.

    The fans that would be there as well would all be Golovkins.

    Still the fact remains non of you're British fighters will ever come close to being a cash cow like Mayweather is sorry but this is fact.:hi:

    Mayweather fighting a bum in Wembley would get 2 times the 80,000 froch and groves got.

    If that's the case why was their empty seats in the MGM grand for his fight with Maidana which holds about 12,000 :lol::lol::patsch

    Pull out gun, point at foot, pull the trigger.

    :patsch there is a reason why Floyd gets paid big money

    Do you know how much those 12,000 pay to be there live?

    the groves vs froch fight at Wembley the tickets were as low as 20 British pounds

    Floyd has never done under 800 000 buys and that was against anyone bums,ext but froch and groves have to pair up still they could not do 1 mill buys and how are there numbers against other opponents have they even been on ppv?:hi:

    Froch and Groves did over 1 million PPV buys in a country with a far lower population than USA but nice try :hi:

    Fact still remains Floyd is the biggest ppv draw in boxing by far no one comes close to him :hi:

    Brook will never headline a ppv card :lol::lol:
