If the fight is not signed by January can't see it either hope I'm wrong. And regarding Groves having a fight before Froch 2 just to risky. Can u imagine the money this fight would take on ticket sales ppv and like a previous poster said US market. They would defo show it. In a ideal world before Christmas groves signs a 1 fight deal with Matchroom for Froch 2 with added options. Then new year fight announced. Fingers crossed this happens
mite have to be a stadium to get more money in the pot as groves will be wanting more this time. as somebody else said **** if your going to it but no real difference for tv undercard will be shite they av got away with for the last 2 ppvs this will be no different
Groves might want more but it's still by a long long way his biggest money fight and has the carrot of two titles. He needs this fight way more than Froch needs it. Rematch should be immediate, in the summer, City Ground.
York Hall!!! - Imagine the atmosphere!! But in all seriousness, I think the O2 would be the best option, with a possible Darren Barker defence, Josh, Luke Cambell, Mitchell etc
o2 not big enough... demand for this is up there with the 40,000 at Old Traff for the benn-eubank rematch. long time since an all brit affair has captured the imagination quite as wildly as this one has... the ending to the fight has only intensified it.
As I have said this should be Froch,s last fight,groves is going to have a massive payday......1.5-2mill each both look as though they need six months off so no other fights....football stadium huge summer sporting event.....Mayweather v Khan chief supporting bout
Hope this isn't in a stadium, would prefer it to be in the O2. Don't really care about the undercard, main event is good enough this time round.
The atmosphere in an arena is far better than a stadium plus our fantastic and predictable weather is a problem when looking to make a fight outdoors, May isn't that warmer month, and to be fair this fight needs to be the next fight for both men, so we may be looking end of march / April time.
July next year. Wait until after the World Cup, or the fight will be "second thought" in a lot of casuals minds, like it or not they will be targeted massively when trying to sell this fight Can't see Froch going to London. Look how he reacted when the crowd booed hol Saturday.. He cannot stand being booed. Too insecure. The fight will be at the Forest stadium or one of the Manchester stadiums more than likely
