'Froch v Groves II' in the City Ground Nottingham for mid June just before the World Cup

Hearn has always wanted to do an outdoor event and this is his perfect chance to do it with his two fighters - he probably planned this all along

[Weebler I]

I don't know about planning it all along, I don't think too many people foresaw Groves doing what he did. I'd be surprised if Eddie did.

Will definitely be a great occasion if it happens.

Why on earth would Groves give him home advantage?

Fight would sellout anywhere so i would put it in manchester again.

I think you're mistaken in thinking groves is in the position to give froch anything.

Froch holds all the cards, he's the champion and won the fight don't forget.

Actually I think you are forgetting the most important thing to Carl, PRIDE

No I haven't. Pride means he won't do anything on Groves's terms. Froch will decide if, when, and where they fight.

You're wrong....He may have the belts but its Groves who was won the boxing fans over.

You forget that it was only a few years ago when no main broadcaster in the UK wanted to sow Froch fights!

Even Eddie Hearn knows Groves will bring more interest and has been siding with him.

The rematch is more important to Froch for his legacy than for groves.

Froch was arrogant in the buildup and got a rude awakening!

[PrinceNaz88]

I expect it to happen in a football stadium.

City Ground is a possibility where the crowd would be 35/40k. Stamford Bridge would be another 10k onto that.

I think both would sell out going by how quick the first fight sold.

Groves doesn't have a fan base yet. He'll have gained a load after this weekend but his best bet is to go to Frochs hometown & I think he'll relish it.

Extra money for him & an amazing atmosphere.

I think Groves has nerves of steel (as does Froch) so neither is that bothered where they fight but the best place is Nottingham.

Or South West Florida. That would actually be much better.

I don't see George saying yes to Nottingham, if he feels robbed in Manchester whats it going to be like in Nottingham.
