Just in.
Froch about to land the Vegas fight!
"I've said before if I can't fight in Vegas I'll probably call it a day, it has to be big, and Chavez Jnr is that man, and I have had a good chat with my promoter this morning and we are making good progress with that fight and hopefully we'll have an announcement soon."

I don't know why Froch is so hung up on fighting in Vegas. I think he should finish his career off in Britain and bust up DeGale.
Because it's a dream of pretty much every fighter to see your name up on the lights on the Vegas strip? Can't see how it doesn't make sense.
Hard to see how progress has been made when Chavez' promotional issues have just flared up in the headlines again.
I think Hearn is feeding Carl bullshît for now until after Nov 22nd when DeGale fights Periban. After that Eddie will get the hype machine going and get Froch to think otherwise.
It'll be Froch v DeGape next, trust me. Hearn loves those domestic PPVs. He earns a fûck ton for them.
Luckily Froch is not a chump who'll be dictated too and he's made that clear a million times, and so has eddie Hearn. If Froch doesn't want to fight he doesn't fight. Simple.
Hey, @************ Bob Arum did confirm to me that they are trying to make a Froch-Chavez fight for early 2015.... #boxing— Steve Kim (@steveucnlive) October 15, 2014

Yes, I too think this is the game Hearn is playing; I just hope Froch sees it!
Froch sort of deserves a Vegas fight and Chavez would bring money and is winnable. Ward brings neither!
I would rather see Froch fight Chavez (Vegas), Kessler (Nottingham), and/or get Ward across to UK as he's in no position to dictate terms, then retire than to fight Degale.

This Chavez! No way should it be a PPV but like i mentioned in another thread, you dont have to be good to make money in boxing
It's pretty frustrating isn't it?
I have seen lots of posters get excited when the see Julio is maybe fighting GGG or Froch, Canelo.....who cares?
I don't see him winning any of those fights, hell he flat out doesn't deserve them.....he's been given the keys to the boxing world and can't even seem to care.
Chavez Jr. doesn't seem to have a problem fighting froch, he just doesn't want to have to sign an extension with TR as a condition of getting the fight. That's understandable.
He also wants money like he is getting an extension for the fight though.
I'm sure it's like GGG where he was offered an extension contract and a non extension contract, the extension being far more than the non-extension.

I don't believe it, we just had a false report on Khan/Guerrero and now this? No way Chavez has been offered 3 really good fight offers from Arum and he stills says no, it isn't happening.
Lol at you hating on the UK press recently.
This is coming directly from Froch himself.
To be fair the UK Press is utter toilet, especially sport.
Froch also said he was fighting JCC jr early this year before groves 2 was announced.
