"Froch vs Groves II Could Attract 60,000 Live Fans!" - Eddie Hearn

[MDPopescu]

This matchup of British fighters, in and out of the ring has gotten the wider public interested.

It is a huge Eubank/Benn esque rematch which if marketed well could do huge numbers.

Hearn wants it to keep Groves with Matchroom, but I think Froch is going to pussy out.

Keep the pressure up.

Hearn sucks all Carl's blood -- he will make him dance... As Carl's "dreams" about fighting Ward or Chavez Jr. in Vegas for big cash represents the most ****** thing that Froch put into words lately... (Ward can't sell out even in Oakland...)

[MisterHardtop]

I have not been on here since the Froch/Groves fall out, so it's interesting to see so many people still talking about this fight, it is also very healthy for the sport. I didn't like the stoppage but the fight was very close leading up to the 9th and there is every chance this could be the most anticipated rematch since Eubank v Benn.

My only concern is that Froch may shy away from it, unless he can get a huge purse, which would depend on how much Groves is willing to take, as he would, rightfully, demand far more.

If they sell a full stadium (which is doable), they could make enough money for whatever (negotiated) purse split...

It would sell even more if grove won a title before the rematch happened.

It is a possibility and I hope it happen. Both men here, not just Froch, have something to prove.

[Weebler I]

what does froch make now? i didn't even think he fought on PPV in England.

Froch made $3.2m for Kessler, $2.4m for Groves afaik.

Are we talking about the same Carl Froch?

[JACK1190]

This rematch would sell 60k in a day without a doubt, and i'll be definitely going this time, I had to sell my tickets for the first fight due to my brother going on holiday, was gutted when I watched it on tv.

Are we talking about the same Carl Froch?

Froch is a warrior but I feel he wants no part of Groves in a rematch, I don't feel he feels he is confident

If he turns down his biggest payday then that to me is basically a declaration that he ducked Groves out of fear

You'll doubtless have another excuse when Froch KOs Groves in the rematch.

[Kris Silver]

Are we talking about the same Carl Froch?

The same one that said numerous times he'd give Groves the rematch, then has gone back on his word within days.

The same Froch that said Calzaghe was a joke going on Strictly come dancing then did the same thing.

The same Froch that thinks he's an international superstar.

The same Froch that can't give Ward or Groves any significant respect or credit for schooling him.

Carl the Contradiction Froch, yes.
