    However we variously feel the first bout should be read, I think we all agree that a rematch is a fight we all want to see. Whether it's to see Groves get a 'fair' shot at being Champion, or Froch to show that Groves just couldn't cut it over the distance, there ain't many (especially in the UK) who don't want this fight to happen.

    If they can make it a big UK stadium fight to maximise the gate, it won't fall far short of a US fight in terms of revenue (and may exceed it) - I think it's fairly likely to happen - certainly Froch is under no obligation, but I also don't see many fights which would bring him more money - Chavez Jr perhaps (though I don't see that happening), Ward II, Kessler III - to me they're all about even in financial terms - and the only one I see Froch losing is Ward II.

      All these fights (except Chavez Jr) would rather take place in the UK -- in order to provide a big gate revenues... But Kessler III? I don't know...

          Surley based on the fact Groves was punching back and Pascal took maybe 15 un answered shots in the 12th vs Bute, on that basis alone the JP-LB fight should have been stopped too....?
