Comments Thread For: Hearn: Ward Has No Choice, Must Face Froch in UK

[Weebler I]

Team Froch appears to be trying really hard to yap themselves right outta a Ward rematch.

I think they should stop criticising him. How are they ever going to sell a rematch if they convince the public the fight is going to be boring.

Froch could obviously fight Kessler again in a trilogy and wait for Ward to heal. Froch will deserve more money though if Ward let's this happen, and doesn't strike right now though

2 wins over Kessler, Abraham, Bute, Dirrell and the fan favourite.... Ward will have to bow to taking less money.

It doesn't matter that he's beaten all those guys, ward beat him!! They can demand it be in the uk, that's fair IMO. Idk about the taking less money part though. I don't think ward deserves less money then Froch. If they offer him a smaller purse and ward doesn't accept, I don't want to hear he's ducking him.

Ward isn't the crowd nor the fan favurite, nor does he generate much revenue. I don't care that he beat Froch, that's not how boxing works.

Do you think Mosley got more than Delahoya because he beat him the first time?

Froch doesn't really wanna fight Ward again. Ward exposes Froch as a B level fighter that's gotten a lotta credit for beating B-, C+, and past it fighters.

Oscar and Froch are on differents levels on the drawing scale; Oscar and Shane had FOTY type fight where anybody could have got the decision. Ward-Froch wasn't close so Froch has no legs to stand on to make these demansds

Froch's negotiating leverage was at its peak moments after his victory over Kessler was announced on Saturday. This leverage wanes with each day that passes. His management and Ward's should know this. The more time that it takes for this fight to get signed, the more the negotiating leverage shifts back to Ward. He is the recognized king of the 168lb division. It matters not how many belts Froch presently has around his waist, how many 2nd tier fighters Froch beats, or how much political b.s. Ward has to contend with to keep his own titles. Ward is better than Froch. He has already proven this to the world and Froch himself all but admits it every time he talks about Ward. I agree with Ward's management. If they fight in the U.K., then they should get the true champion's purse split. I actually don't want Froch to fight Ward right away. I really would love to see Bhop put in on Froch first.
