Froch was offered £5mil to fight Hopkins

Even I agree Froch isn't worth £5mill, clearly Mitchell has either got it wrong or Hopkins is bullshitting like anything. But I can see Froch being worth more than Adamek, especially after the Taylor fight.

 

Yeah he's worth so much that he can't get a TV deal. Froch is only worth whatever he can get into a stadium. Which is a decent amount, but nothing compared to the revenue generated by fighting stateside on HBO.

 

For arguments sake, lets say he was. I guess the premise is that he should've took this and not entered the super six...which is even worse then getting those figures wrong as it either suggests that Froch had a serious chance of beating Hopkins or is just belittling this tourney.

Let me tell Kevin that Carl gets thoroughly schooled! its probabily the worst stylistic match-up for him. Hopkins would keep spinning like 20 inch rims. would never give him the same look twice and keep coming from so many different angles. Stage left, stage right, right cross, lead right, baby left hooks, a boxing 101 that the Cobra maybe never recovers his form from those short six inch punches and hip shots on the blindside of the referee and he certainly doesn't make any moolah again. his style lends to a worser beating/schooling then Tito and the Ghost got so where would he have gone from there?

 

Would much rather Froch be in this super six tournament then fight Hopkins. And Jeff Powell once said that Juan Manuel Marquez and Cotto had a great scarp. :huh:huh

 

It's only sparring, dear.

 

£2M then. Sounds about right.

That sounds errmmm... on the money to me. So to speak.
