Comments Thread For: Froch's Fury: 'I Want at Least 1 Million Quid For Germany'

I take it you mean the semis?

I read about Kessler's numbers. He gets 2M $ pr. group stage fight. The semis havent been negotiated yet, but I'd say they'd be worth double.

My mistake, I meant group stage fights but I typed out quarter finals.

Froch seems to be making half of what Kessler is making for the group stage fights, I find that a little surprising considering he was a titlist and was coming off 2 impressive wins.

[Chunk..]

I thought they agreed beforehand that the fight would be in England?

Keep in mind, one million British pounds is a guarantee of $1.54 million U.S. dollars

True but considering Froch`s recent run of fights and the fact he was the wbc champion i would have thought he would be breaking the million pound barrier.

Any details on who earns what or win bonuses?

froch yr a bitter man. yr no longer the champ , u dont call the shots no more. suck it up son.

keep dreaming froch, you aint worth a fiver.

Froch is more realistic now. When before he would say he dont need no judges because he will knock his opponent out. He knows there is a possiblity he hasnt got the ability to knock everyone out, including abraham,
So wont risk going to Germany, which is fair. Many have been robbed by sven ottke to realize this.

The dispute continues between promotional company Sauerland Event and former champion Carl Froch over the venue for his appearance in the Super Six Boxing Classic, which takes place in August against Arthur Abraham. Wilfried Sauerland said there was no pre-existing agreement with Froch's promoter Mick Hennessy to stage the event in Nottingham, Froch's hometown. [Click Here To Read More]

I would be thinking along those lines. If its 750k then to want another 250k seems something you could realistically ask for.

BTW: Abraham is cool in such things. He always says that he preffers Berlin, but is ready to fight any opponent in any city worldwide.
