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

[Boss Don]

ehhhh.....so is arthur, what right does he have, hes coming off a disgraceful DQ, you could argue he shouldn't even be in the tourney anymore, if anything froch has more right coming off a close decision away from home where he felt he was robbed than abraham being dominated nearly every round, and taking the ***** way out and getting DQ'd

look im not a Abraham fan and I never said Arthur had any say on where the fight should be but Froch coming out like he calling the shots and saying he will quit if he don't get his way thats a ***** move then he trying to demand more money after he just got his ass beat and lost his title lol I mean is this guy serious

So wont risk going to Germany, which is fair. Many have been robbed by sven ottke to realize this.

Rubbish. Those Ottke fights had German refs and judges. All the Super 6 fights have refs and judges exclusively from neutral countries. And if Haye can beat Valuev on points in Germany, when several British commentators had Valuev ahead and everyone agreed it was close, then anyone can win there, provided the ref and judges are all from neutral countries, which they will be.

And Froch is being really pathetic by claiming he was robbed against Kessler. There is not a single British boxing writer who scored that fight to Froch. Not one. And the British boxing press is normally biased as hell - most of them scored the Froch-Dirrell fight to Froch, yet they all scored this one to Kessler.

Does Froch have the right to demand that much? Could see Saurland coughing up though as it would be another huge European fight and they would fully expect Froch to bring few fans over.

Froch has very little travelling support, unfortunately. Partly due to the fact that none of the mainstream TV channels in the UK are willing to screen his fights. Still, I agree that one would have thought the fight in Germany should be able to generate enough revenue to pay him that much, just from the gate and the German TV licence fees.

imagine if froch gets robbed in two fights back to back, that would be hilarious.

robbed?

Must be because Kessler is ½ english.

Froch needs to quit his ****ing bitching. If the Dirrell fight were in Detroit, he would be forced to quit because he'd be 0-2.

[Dave Rado]

If the fight has to be in Germany, the least they can do to make it fair would be to get American judges in for the fight because even if Froch did win the fight in Germany, he'd never get that decision with German judges.

American judges is the perfect answer, nobody can complain then!

The ref and judges will all be from neutral countries, and have been for all of the Super 6 tournament. There's no non-racist reason why American judges should be considered any more neutral than Mexicans or Panamanians or Belgians.

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]

He lost to dirrell I agree but I had him beating kessler by 2 rounds.

btw what was your scorecard for the froch-kessler fight?

The midget AA needs to man up and quit being a lil *****.
AA doesn't want to fight anyone outside of Germany because of the disgusting refereeing in the US. He is trying to find a way out of fighting the cobra cos he knows he will get decapitated or lose an easy UD.
