George Groves is Set To Sign With Sauerland (Annoucement Tomorrow)

Being on sky means more big marketing, big promotion, TV exposure all over the shop and a chance to attract the casual fight fan.

BN does not offer that. Lets no pretend they do.

George Groves can become a huge star if he wins, the torch will be passed on to the younger fighter etc etc.

He would be silly to then not take advantage of that.

BN is not a smart move.

 

Groves/Degale yes, froch/Chunky would have to think about. Groves and Chunky have a believable and visable story going back to the AM's. Froch/Chunky not so much

 

is there no chance that the Sauerlands will perhaps sign sme form of deal with BT Sport?

 

Degale will be the mandatory but i suppose if GG wins he will get a voluntary first, which will open the door for kessler. If thats the way it would work then its good business by S. bros and a poke in the eye for fast car who thought he had it sewn up all ends with another big domestic dust up after Froch vs GG 2. if Froch wins then Eddie can go with the Degale match and the S. bros can either match GG and kessler anyway or Kessler and GG can go on separate routes for titles with AA being likely for one of them.

 

will be interesting to see if BT sport are willing to back Sauerland like sky are with matchroom. there is some boxing on bt sport with boxing weekly which shows there is interest in the sport. If George beats froch then he becomes the biggest boxing star in the country, having Groves on BT sport would be a great coup for the company.

 

That or itv come back in when the CL deal expires

 

Can't see it as their cards would clash with The X Factor/Britain's Got Talent on ITV1. Perhaps on ITV4.

 

Are those craps on that late?
Would have thought a 10pm slot or so would be free.
At least I pray and hope. Mostly hoping for BT for selfish purposes!
