    Andre missed out on the perfect chance to help sell a rematch by not showing up. That's all there is to it.

    He can't afford to make himself easy to ignore, but continues to do just that.

    To sell out a stadium, it takes TWO men in a fight where the public believes that it's a 50/50 contest and also promises to be an exciting fight.

    All that was the case for Froch-Groves 2. That's mainly because Groves floored Froch in the first fight, and was winning convincingly in an exciting fight that was stopped prematurely. So Groves, the ref, and Froch are the reasons the stadium was sold out for the rematch. Mainly Groves though.:deal

    Brits, say GGG or Chavez Jr came across the pond in the fall would that sell 80,000 tickets again?

    No, but Froch would easily sell out the City Ground (Nottingham Forest's football stadium), which has a 30,000 capacity (maybe 35-40,000 with seating on the pitch) for either fight.

    I reckon Froch should fight Chavez Jr in Vegas, then GGG in Nottingham.

    Sounds good to me I would be OK with either of those. Hopefully we get that in the Fall. Sounds like Hearn is serious about Chavez Jr in the Fall in Vegas that would sell out and be a success on PPV no doubt. :good

    Chad Dawson - drained down in weight
    Edwin Rodriguez - didnt belong in the ring at that level

    Carl Froch post super six :

    Lucien Bute : IBF belt
    Yusaf Mack : tune up
    Mikkel Kessler :WBA belt
    George Groves 2x

    That sums up the difference between Ward and Froch nicely. Again Ward will beat Froch 100 out of 100 times but ok then what. Froch will get into the HOF before Ward because of his body of work.

    Yes when it comes to careers right now, I would rather be Froch over Ward.


    P.S...Yes WARD CAN BEAT FROCH!!!!

    Hearns knows his boy got handled easily and he wants to milk those belts and this win vs an unproven nobody in Groves. He knows another fight vs Ward and Ward would retire Froch.:deal

    I wonder why Froch isn't trying to get revenge and avenge his loss to Ward? :huh
