Froch should show an act of kindness and offer 80-20 split to Ward

    Realistically how much to you think the fight will generate? Ward was 83 million dollars himself.

    Froch-Groves II never even approached that, and didn't even make anywhere near that much combined and that did more than double the ticket sales that Ward would and more than double the buyrate. Where do you think the money is going to come from to pay Ward that much?

    Ward is pricing himself out and you are too deluded to see it as ducking. Froch abd Hearn are the one's who's ducking because he doesn't want to go bankrupt and spend the rest of their lifes in debt. :lol:

    Let me ask you another question. What does more money Froch in Nottingham, on Sky Box Office and HBO (which was Ward's option)....or Paul Smith in a half packed arena in Ward's back yard on BET :lol::lol:

    Yeah, just one article from a butt hurt fanboy on a blogging site. I could write a blog on that site and say Lacy was robbed against Calzaghe. :patsch

    But when I type 'robbery of the year 2009' into google and search credible sources like The Ring, Scene, pro-boxing fans, fight news etc....it's not even nominated. :lol:

    Froch would require a much greater purse than Ward. Just because you are better than someone doesn't mean you should command a bigger purse. Froch brings 90% of the money to this fight and therefore deserves at least 75% of the purse, yes he would probably lose but he bring the ££££££

    If Eddie Hearn is to be believed, sounds like Froch isn't fighting again.

    Ward and GGG probably lost all hope on that front.

    If Cotto and Trout fight Cotto deserves more than Trout despite losing to him.

    Same goes for Khan vs Peterson, Presscott, Garcia even.

    Same goes for ODLH against Mosley.

    Same goes for Pacquaio against Marquez.

    Many examples.

    Froch is the A Side, brings in the fans, the views, the money.

    It would indeed be a classy move even if Froch offers Ward the chance to negotiate a 20% cut, as current things stand.

    Fair points.

    It's similar to GGG's pipe dreams about facing Floyd (or even Cotto or Canelo). If he wants it, he gets almost none of the purse, and has to fight on their terms. So if he wants to fight Floyd, what is that? Maybe 5% of the purse and he has to weigh no more than 150 on the morning of the fight, in Vegas, with the strictest drug testing protocol ever conceived?

    Why would Floyd use his leverage to demand something that would hamper his chances? :think

    Floyd's the A-side.

    Only Golovkin would be tested.

    Until GGG comes into the ring looking like a starved out junkie with the skin of a white walker.

    There you go as far as credible sites goes
    [url]http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2013025-ranking-the-10-worst-judging-decisions-in-boxing-in-the-past-decade/page/2[/url]

    But then again YDSAB matter of fact anyone who scored that fight for FROCH doesn't know how to score a fight properly !
