    Why would Froch offer 2mil + to get his ass handed to him in his home country?

      Ward doesn't deserve as much as Kessler. The guy is boring and Froch would have to work twice as hard to sell tickets.

      Ward would be lucky with £1m.

        Froch's increased popularity and exposure on ppv will naturally generate higher PPV's and a higher gate.

        These are the same fans that came out in full force for Audley Harrison. Froch- Ward would get 25-30k in the right venue and I hardly believe any UK fan who bought the Kessler PPV would hesitate to buy Froch's next PPV whether it's Ward, Hopkins or even a bum like Groves.

        Your ****** unoriginal little nicknames are cute though. You should go play with the other grade schoolers in the Mayweather nickname club.
        Hearn and Sauerland has openly regretted not making Kessler-Froch II in a stadium. Yeah it's possible that a Ward-Froch fight can fill a stadium due to Froch's popularity. But it could never create the revenue close to the scandinavian PPV.

        Face it quitman. You got pwned out of your own terrible hate thread.

            I highly doubt anyone would go but a few UK Ward fans and Froch haters. Froch fans wouldnt come to watch their guy in a sure loss.

                Golovkin - likes the fight
                Chavez Jr. - likes the fight
                Stieglitz - possible, but it's not a huge fight
                Hopkins - doesn't like the catchweight
                Cleverly - doesn't like the catchweight
                Ward - doesn't sound keen, repeats the Ward doesn't want to fight in UK stuff
                Kessler III - loves the fight, talking Amsterdam Arena or Wembley as venue
                Groves - wants the fight in Spring-Summer 2014, says Groves needs a big win, doesn't want Groves-DeGale II

                Burns will fight in September and December. Vasquez, Beltran, Bogere and Rees potential opponents.

                  lets be honest, this fight isnt gonna happen. there will be no offere for the the simple fact that froch does not want to fight ward again. it will kill his momentum and hes bascially guaranteed a loss, even his fans accept that.

                    As usual the NSB idiots have lined up to call Andre Ward a ducker before anything of any substance even happens. Froch himself, in his comments to SKY after the fight, seemed to want to put the brakes on Andre Ward talk and Andre Ward in his comments to SKY said very plainly - "they say they want it, now they need to prove it".

                    Kessler did the same thing the past year and a half. He and his promoter talked non stop about Ward. They talked about his lack of sales, his lack of earnings, how much more he could make in Denmark, etc etc. However, when it came right down to it they never made an offer. Never picked up the phone. Never backed up their words.

                    Hearn/Froch need to make an offer, in writing, to Andre Ward for a purse that meets or exceeds what Kessler made this past Saturday (rumor between 2-2.5 mill) for people to say Ward has ducked him.

                    Will that ever actually happen? I think the chances are very slim and here is why...

                    The fact that Froch is considering Bernard Hopkins tells you that he is not being completely honest when he talks about why he should or shouldn't fight Ward.

                    When on the topic of Ward he repeatedly criticizes his style and says that he doesn't make for good fights for the fans. However, you have to be either blind or nuts to say that Hopkins not only makes for **** fights, but is ever worse to watch than Ward at this point. BHop throws about 25 punches a round at his most active.

                    So if Froch says he won't fight Ward cause it's no good for fans, then says he will fight an ancient Hopkins, who is no good for fans --- then there must be some other reason he really doesn't want it with Ward.

                    I am a big Froch fan - for the record. I just don't think he actually wants this fight with Ward at the moment. So people already trying to rip Ward for it not happening should just shut up and see if Hearn/Froch even make Ward a ****ty as lowball offer or if they decide to just go silent altogether.


                    Froch backpedaling hard, trying to poopoo a Ward rematch as much as possible.

                    Carl Froch says he would be happy to make it a trilogy of fights against Mikkel Kessler - but he's not so sure his rival is keen to do it all again. Froch ev


                    Told y'all there wouldn't even be an offer and all these tards are in a hurry to call Ward the coward for not going to the UK when Froch is afraid to even offer Andre a fight in London.

                    Wow.

                    I love me some Cobra but he is pretty transparent here. He should stop ****ting on Ward if he has no desire to fight him, it's a bad look on a guy who prides himself on fighting anyone anywhere.

                      In the link you've posted Froch has challenged Ward to come and get the titles. There are no offers to anyone yet.
