    My mate see Eddie in a bar Brentwood and was just talking about Kell Brook with him and he said the World title fight has got to come soon etc etc..

    he also said that he "could be" interested in Degale if he's contractual agreements are sorted.

    Not surprising with the right sell Degale could do well, would have to put in lot of work though

    He'd do a much better job with DeGale then Frank is. 99.9% of the country don't know DeGale is fighting this sat.

    Degale only has a year left on his contract, won't be suprised if Eddie signs him.

    Getting out of a contract with Frank can't be the easiest thing to do.

    If Eddie gets him, he'll go for the 'you'll watch him to lose' like early Eubank and Hamed!

    stopped reading after "My mate see Eddie in a bar Brentwood and.."
     
  8. I'd imagine that Frank might be agreeable to DeGale's request in order to rid himself of a huge liability off his balance sheet.

    Of course Frank paid DeGale a signing on fee..... DeGale is owed X - if DeGale decides to leave, a certain % of that will be repayable.

    Just sayin'....

    Though he might dig his heels in, you never know.

    Personally, if I was Frank I'd let DeGale go, and open my doors to any of the other Olympians if they wanted to talk about moving to pastures new. The last three years have been an unqualified disaster for him from a business point of view - would be a great opportunity to get himself a clean slate.

    Its not a bad move for money and them winning title bids but DeGale strikes me as an ego maniac who would love the lights of Vegas if he can get there.

    I think Degale is something special i really do. I think he was too emotionally involved in the Groves fight and was looking to hurt him rather than stick to a game plan. If the same Degale who won the European title fought Groves i believe it would of been a different story.

    I think he should go with Eddie

    My bird's mate's mate is a model and her mate had to sign a confidentiality agreement about George Clooney.

    Apparently he's gay.

    Word.

    You're wrong. He isn't special in any way.

    Really? It looked like he was too nervous to engage all night and, when he did, he threw slapping punches to arms and shoulders.

    Yeah, Groves would have knocked him out. DeGale was dreadful in that fight.

    If he drops his ridiculous financial demands, perhaps. But DeGale isn't Audley, who could be quite charming even if he was mad as a box of frogs.
