    Great post,

    I think over here (im irish but i mean Britain and Ireland) we tend to think our boxing is the be all and end all of the inductry. But the fact of the matter is, in Germany the major fights are broadcasted on terrestrial tv ,not ppv nor subscription tv. So the money and shows are pretty bloody big.

    Think television audience sizes of 10 + million. The money these can generate must be colossal.

    Groves has made a very shrewd move with moving to Sauerland promotions IMO. And i for one hope he laughs all the way to the bank with his upcoming fights with Kessler, Abraham, Stieglitz etc.... All power to the guy

    Probably makes more sense with Sauerland.

    They have a working relationship with everyone from promoters to TV networks.

    Win or lose Groves will be in the picture with Abraham, Stieglitz, Kessler etc

    Yeah I know, I meant after the first fight, I would have thought the penny would have dropped for Hearn on the occasion.
