Who needs who more? (Froch-Ward)

[nachorjj]

no one need echother, Ward win clearly in his first fight and in a remach would be the same. Froch can fight against Kessler 3, Dirrell 2, Hopkins, Degale or Groves and Ward can fight Bute, Dirrell, Groves, Degale or go up to 175

[Daddy T]

If the fight doesn't happen who will make more in their respective next fight?

And there is your answer, simple really Froch can happily make millions fighting infront of 60k+ fans each time until he retires Ward can't pull anything even remotely close to that.

Ward has nobody to fight. Froch can fight a bunch of guys but he won't be #1 in his division unless he beats ward.

<3 they both need each other <3

Bute only fights in Canada, and when he went to the UK he had a rematch clause that allows him to avenge his loss in Canada.

Dirrell? Is that guy even boxing right now?

Groves and Degale are not big fights, and if they get a title shot is going to be in the UK.

Up to 175? Ward already stated that he doesn't want to do that.

For money ward needs froch

For legacy froch needs ward

They need each other.

You guys are to funny. So, now it's all about the money. I dont care about how much $ fighters make. Froch needs Ward more. He has to atleast try to avenge his lost, I mean what fighter wants to be #2. Yeah ward should travel to the UK. Just not in Froch home city. How about Scotland? Froch is one of my favorite boxers but he has to go after Ward for respect.

Apparently you're the one kidding yourself.

Boxing is a business, first and foremost. It doesn't matter if you're the tenth rated fighter, if you entertain you get the pay-days and opportunities. The promoters make money by promoting entertaining fights that people will pay good money for. Andre Ward doesn't entertain, simples.

Froch doesn't need Ward for any other reason apart from 'legacy'. If he wants a nice looking resume, fight Ward again for a chance to redeem yourself. Otherwise, he can continue to fight the rest of the best at 168 and earn a nice living.

Ward needs Froch, I cannot understand how anyone else would think any different. It's so blatant that he's the one chasing and trying to force Froch to rematch him.

The most delusional post I've read in recent memory. So according to your line of reasoning Froch trained since his boyhood to NOT beat the best in the world. So your trying to tell me Froch is 100% ok with losing to Ward and accepting the mantra of "Im #2! Woo!" GTFOH. He needs Ward as much as Ward needs a payday.

Nottingham is Froch's home city. London is where the fight would be held.

[sdcluser]

Froch doesn't need Ward at all.

Froch could fight Groves, Cleverly, Hopkins, possibly Kessler rematch and make a lot of money.

Who can Ward fight and make a lot of money with other than Froch?

That's why he wants the Froch fight so badly. He has no options.

Froch has plenty.

Pascal and Bute. Possibly catchweight with Martinez.
