    In my opinion there is simply no way in hell Taylor and DiBella will fight Froch if it goes to the purse bid. They will never accept to get only 30% of the purse (the champion gets 70%).

    Think about it. A winning bid of 3million dollars would be a 900K$ purse for Taylor. Fact is, he won't fight for that kind of money.

    I think Dibella simply will not participate in the purse bid. I've read that they are still looking at possible fights with Kessler and Bute. As well as fights with Glen Johnson and Andre Ward.

    Hopefully they can come to terms b4 the purse bid. FROCH-JT would be a dandy 2 watch!! If not, then Kessler or Bute would be great. I think it'll b Kessler and JT as the last two standing. 168 is either the best division or 2nd place right now.

    taylor would earn more money coming to england fighting on prime time ITV than fighting on HBO. Trust me.

    I don't get why HBO want to put up the cash for Taylor vs Wright 2 and not for Taylor vs Kessler.

    No one on the planet other then HBO knows why they rather spend money on Taylor-Wright.

    Someone over there needs to put down the crack pipe and wake the **** up.

    No one gives a **** about Winky Wright. People wants to see Taylor-Kessler, Taylor-Froch, Taylor-Bute, etc...

    140 has got to be getting up there as one of the best divisions again now, it was the best division before a lot of fighters moved to 147. with pac, jmm, judah, hatton, torres, malignaggi, witter, holt, bradley and potentially mayweather.....

    Thats bollocks and you know it !

    How many turned out to watch Taylor v Lacy or Pavlik v Hopkins. ****in 3 men and a dog thats how many

    so as long as people keep quoting this crap as if its actually still true the more boxing in the USA sinks into obscurity.

    They said they would like Taylor to fight EITHER Kessler or Wright. Wringht is just in the picture because he feels that HBO ows him a fight after he pulled out of his last one.

    What legacy? Robbery decisions over BHOP and getting KTFO by Pavlik. Dont overhype Taylor like he is a global star or a HOFer. If he wants a legacy then he will come to England to fight an undefeated champ in his own backyard. Thats the kind of bravery that gives a boxer legacy!
