Should Froch just pack his bags for the US of A?

i think he would be more appreciated over there.... but i think he likes to fight in nottingham to much

 

Yeah - it's an absolute no-brainer.

Lewis did it, Hamed and Hatton fought there regularly as well.... why not?

 

Yes

 

Yes he would do very good business in the states also he could pack out stadiums in Canada too.

 

I expect Mick Hennessy would be just as capable of failing to sell out arenas, providing terrible undercards, failing to get tv deals and generally being incompetent in the USA.

Conclusion: Froch's geographical location is not the problem.

 

Wonder what would happen to Froch if he jumped into bedwith one of the Franks or Hatton?

 

He'd be on a TV station that didn't have to be invented for the purpose.

 

Bad Chad sold 1,426 tickets for his last fight. Maybe he should move to the UK.

 

He needs to leave Hennessy.
He may be loyal but he is gona end up doing himself out of alot of exposure and dosh. Go to the US and sign with Arum or Golden Boy, he would probably even have more chance getting a tv deal with Hatton than Hennessy. **** Promoter.

 

Sky Sports are the only game in town. Carl needs to get himself on there anyway he can. Look what they have done for David Haye. I can't turn on the tv without seeing him. He must be better known now than at anytime in his career and he hasn't fought for a year.

 

Sky are really pushing Haye at the minute.

Froch should sign with DiBella. A promoter that beleives in him.

Froch still cant sell out in nottingham here. Its a joke. Hennesey is a joke.

 

And my answer was that, if changing location was the only change, no. Hennessy would still be the problem.

There's no reason to think that he could go to the US and be headlining shows and selling out arenas. The US is hardly a hotbed of boxing these days and most of the people that do attract crowds have either a regional base or a particular constituency. As kleonkinch pointed out Dawson fought Tarver twice for combined ticket sales of less than 3000. That's appalling. Froch couldn't hope to get anywhere near the crowds in the US that he can get in Nottingham (which are actually pretty good).

If we're talking switching to an American promoter, then that's obviously a different matter. However the switch of promoter would be more relevant than the change of location imo. In fact I'm pretty sure any promoter would want him to carry on having some fights in Nottingham. The fanbase that he's built up there is not to be sneezed at and not easily replicable.

If we're discussing options though, here's one no-one has suggested: froch should ditch Hennessy and sign up with Sauerland Promotions. Competent promoters and a better fit for Froch's mentality than someone like Arum.
