Comments Thread For: Groves Applauds IBF's Ruling: We've Got a Bit of Justice!

Heard reason groves rejected was because hearns wanted a 2 year commitment to fight under hi m which groves turned down

Good move by Groves if true, as Ali said to SRL the first time they met "don't let nobody own you." Groves has managed to force the fight without bending over for a screw job from hearns in the process.

Froch

Strange move...

Can only assume money wasn't an issue here, as Groves is going to get far less if it goes to purse bids.

Interesting ruling by the IBF - I agree it was controversial enough to warrant a rematch.

However, some posters on here claim Groves was robbed. Robbed of what? He was robbed of a chance of a legit victory, but so was Froch. Let's not act as if Groves had that fight in the bag, because that was far from the case.

very mad

groves is like a rash froch cant get rid of

rematch will be even more personal

[FrankieBruno]

Dumb move. His cut will be substantially reduced.

not really if it meant being stuck with hern for another 2 years

he gets his rematch or a belt and can still be a free agent away from booth and hern.

25% and being stuck with hern isnt worth it.

if hern wants groves to sign with him make it 50%

[Robbie Barrett]

So we can now stop the Froch is ducking bull****. Froch made a 1mil+ offer that was turned down. Groves confirmed it.

The first I picked Groves, the second fight I pick Groves to bust Froch
up inside the distance. Glad the I.B.F. gave us all justice both Groves
and the people alike.

The IBF is a joke. They'll order a rematch for this but they keep a PED cheat as their reigning champion
