If you're the mandatory challenger, then you get the fight with no rematch clause or no options.
That's what Groves is now getting because the IBF reinstated him as mandatory. But of course, he is getting less money.
Immediate rematches are just extras added onto a contract for the champion if he has leverage to do so, mandatory/voluntary or not. It's more normal to do so for a mandatory as the belt would not have a mandatory contender for it for the fight afterwards

Are you suggesting that because George made a request to the "IBF", instead of directly to Carl, that George is now obligated to fight "under their rules?" I am suggesting Carl and George fight under their own rules and go tell "IBF" to shove off.

But mandatories aren't obligated to give rematches. For example, Kell Brook turned down Bradley because he'd have to sign a rematch clause/options whereas he became mandatory to Alexander where there would have been no rematch clause.

Have you followed any of this story or are you just talking utter bollox?Originally posted by techliam View PostFroch and Groves are under IBF authority as the IBF are sanctioning the fight. Froch would have to drop his belt in order for them to play by their own rules

Don't think Froch was even rated with the IBF before the fight, but he had certainly never fought an eliminator for a mandatory shot at the title.
Immediate rematches are not part of the contract if the mandatory challenger receives his purse. He might settle for a good deal and accept an immediate rematch as many have chosen before - but standard procedure is that a mandatory defense doesn't include an immediate rematch clause.Last edited by LacedUp; 01-30-2014, 05:52 PM.

These guys are not in Floyd Mayweather's position where they can just drop belts and still get the money and the right fights. It doesn't work like that.
