Somewhere out there, Hearn and Froch are weeping.

HBO turned down a Froch-GGG PPV fight. atsch


It kills me inside.....

 

When Chavez Jr/Fonfara was announced I knew things could go wrong, Fonfara showed he belonged at world level, boxes tall unlike Jr and is bigger than Jr being a light heavy.

Froch will likely retire. He really just wanted an easy payday in Vegas, he's never really hidden that fact. But that was when Ward was out of the picture and maybe a fight at The City ground would be enough to motivate him to continue but if Ward doesn't agree to Froch's terms then he'll quit, he has also made it clear he only has a punchers chance and if he can't get things his way he'll walk away.

It's also pretty clear had Froch/Chavez Jr happened it would have been a mismatch, Froch would of battered him.

 

My understanding is that fight wasn't offered as a PPV. Maybe I'm wrong but Eddie Hearn keeps saying the problem with the GGG fight is that GGG isn't PPV in America. And that because Froch is PPV in England any fight he makes with Froch in America has to be with a guy who'd be PPV in America as well. His stance is essentially that HBO think it'll take a year to make GGG a PPV star at the rate he's going, so the fight couldn't get done for at least a year.

I've heard of HBO offering them the fight. But never heard of it being offered as a PPV.

 

I am no fan of Froch but I think he is pretty relaxed

He is ready to retire unless he can get a fight in Vegas or his home football ground, that's a nice position to be in, having made the big money in the twilight of his career, he can quit whenever he likes without any pressure

If he don't he will retire with lots if money

Hearn and Froch weepy ? Don't be naive they have made buckets of money from each other last couple years

And don't forget....if Degale beats direll

Then Froch has another big ready made PPV payday in the Uk

 

If Froch don't get Ward on his own terms he will happily pass on that fight without a second thought

Froch won't be mad
Hearn won't be mad

Children like the poster will be mad and will post more bait

Ward may alsô be a little mad because Froch has made plenty of money and headlines the last few years and it must really sting Ward having someone like Froch dictate take it or leave it terms

Froch admitted ward beat him well, Froch has admitted he wants all the advantages if they rematch

If he don't get them then he will say no , without a care

It will just be ward and ward fans who will be 'salty'

 

And this is exactly what stings ward and his fans

And rightly so

It must be hell when someone you beat returns with take it or leave it terms

Froch is a ****, but he earnt his position by smashing up Bute after losing to Ward, and finally getting the PPVs and the big money in his final years

Ward should have done what Froch did and smash Bute,but that ego of his resulted in wasted years and now most people don't really care about him

 

Yea Froch went to HBO for a Froch-GGG PPV fight and it got turned down. Frochs looking to check off his American PPV bucket list and at least he tried to make it a Froch-GGG PPV fight. People act like he went to Chaves first when in reality with HBO saying no to GGG there are no other good PPV prospects besides Chaves at the time.

GGG has stated he would only fight Froch or Ward as a PPV fight anyway. But neither fights are PPV in America where both these SMWs want to fight.

 

Replace wards name with dirrell and we're good.....lol

 

Nobody outside of robbingham and te uk give a **** about froch .....meanwhile everyone in the world knows who is the best 168lber in the world and that is Andre Ward ....Froch got his ass kicked by two Andres ....ward and dirrell......if Frochcame up in the us he'd be Bryan Vera

 

that must be why froch made ward an offer, while ward made 1 to paul smith.
