    Such blatant misinformation should cause anyone to doubt anything you post. Hennessy offered Taylor $1.6 million to come to the UK. Not $2.5. Where did you even get that number?

      The latest is that apparently Froch has changed his tune and is now willing to come to the states for around $700K (he was already offered $600K + tv money).

      Kudos to Froch for sucking it up and doing what it takes to make this fight happen, but all this sudden change of heart tells me is that he was over-valuing himself in the first place. Once he realized that Taylor had other options (Green) and doesn't really need him, Carl starts singing a different, more humble tune.

      I know there is a huge double standard between Taylor being able to earn $1.6 million for going to the UK, and Carl's guaranteed purse being far less than that for coming to the US, but I don't have a problem with that. If Carl does what he's beein saying he'll do for months in utterly demolishing Taylor, he'll see the rewards on the back end when he becomes the next big star in the sport.

        Froch doesnt have a clue what he is on for, Taylor aint pascal, froch isnt slick at all, taylor gets dissed for losing to pavlik twice, the 1st time was because he didnt hold his left hand up and got hit with dumb shots, the second fight with pavlik was real close. Taylor is a talented fighter, a class above froch imo, that will show.

        Kinda reminds me of woods-tarver, when people thought woods had a chance, when tarver was clearly in another league skills wise.
