    What do you guys think about this fight?

    ‘While we could fight for my light-heavy title, there is the option of doing it at a catch-weight we are both comfortable with. A fight of this magnitude matters more in its own right than the belt.’

    Class fight if it happens, especially in Nottingham.

    Think it would have to be 02 or MEN if it were to take place in

    A Matchroom/Goldenboy PPV could throw up some interesting fights.

    Much rather this than a Ward rematch. Hard to call to be honest. Hopkins is the master of out-smarting young strong lions but Froch is far better than a Tavouris Cloud. Good fight if it is in England.

    Or maybe an outdoor venue, Nottingham Forest's ground?
    I'd love to see more collaboration with matchroom and goldenboy, get more of the top US fighters fighting in the UK would be great.

    if Hearn needed PPV to get the Kessler fight made then surley this fight would need PPV as well? people won't be happy if PPV is a regular thing.

    They could probably do Wembley, if they closed a lot of the venue off. It'd sell 40,000 tickets easily, if Froch beats Kessler and the undercard is good.

    If its the right fights, with a quality under card I would have no issue with PPV 6-8x a year.

    I'd have no problem paying a PPV for this, especially if it is in the UK and can be watched at a decent hour. Bhop is a huge name and it would be an intriguing fight.

    But said in this interview he would come to the UK to fight Froch?

    Its a bigger fight at the 02.

    I think if Bute beats Pascal that will be Bernard's next fight after Murat. I don't see Bernard coming to England to fight.
