By Chris LaBate

According to a recent interview with Jeff Powell of the Daily Mail, WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch is considering a move to the United States, although the British boxer will continue to keep a home in Nottingham. Froch is training for his December 17th unification with WBA champion Andre Ward, set for the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.

"You could say I’ll be turning my back on Britain, although we’ll keep a place in Nottingham. I wasn’t backed by Britain even after I won the world title. That fight (with Jean Pascal) was on ITV but even then British TV never really got behind me. But now I’ve had a couple of big fights in the US, the TV people over there are so supportive," Froch said.

"Had my recent series of fights against Andre Dirrell, Mikkel Kessler, Arthur Abraham and Glen Johnson been given proper exposure, I’d have been a household name in Britain a while ago. But only now are Sky giving me the platform I think I should have been getting for years."

Froch isn't as big here as he seems to think he is. Boxing is no longer huge in the U.S. so how can he be big in the U.S. if the sport he competes in isn't?

[QUOTE=BattlingNelson]Really? That's a lot. As much as it is in Scandinavia. I'm surprised. I thought he would pay some 35% at the max.[/QUOTE] Pretty much however much you earn here it gets close to 50% in the end anyway. However if you earn over 100k pounds here (soemthing like 150k dolla...

No one knwos Carl, and many that do have always disliked him. He has already mentioned leaving Britian because of high taxes then backtracked when he got flamed. Now he is saying it again. The mofo has a big mouth and always had ti since Calzaghe.
