85/15 is harsh, but at least the IBF is sticking to their guns and not bending their rules. I think this whole situation could have been avoided and Groves offered more money if he should a more humble and amiable side instead of just running his mouth off.

Why are you acting like Groves is being victimised?

They wouldn't have to play by IBF rules if Froch dropped his belt, but why would he? The rules favour him, as well as the belt..

Groves reportedly refused Matchroom's initial offer because they wanted options on Groves' future fights. Why would Groves sell his soul to Matchroom when they have already - and blatantly - robbed him? IF I were Groves I would have done the same, it's the principle. Of course the money matters, too. It's prizefighting. But sometimes you have to take losses in life to make a point. Groves put a middle finger up at Matchroom, and he should be even more motivated to put an end to Froch.

IBF could've looked the other way on this mandatory rematch. Uglier things have happened in boxing. They did him a solid. He should just shut up and start training camp.
That said I'm hoping he wins.
