    Why is that automatically Froch's fault?

    They offered Groves a 75-25 split with rematch clause/options. That wasn't acceptable to Groves.

    The IBF ordered the rematch meaning Groves gets 15% with no rematch clause/options. That also wasn't acceptable to Groves so he appealed to the IBF again to get more money. They rejected it.

    It's not Froch's fault that Groves is trying to price himself out. Eddie Hearn is trying to reach an agreement with Groves before the fight goes to purse bids.

      I've said it 3 times already but just for you because you I'll say it again.

      It is up in the air.

      The blame that is.

        You also said that Froch doesn't want the rematch. You backtrack a lot.

          Matchroom are violating the Muhammed Ali Act:

          - "prohibits a promoter from requiring a boxer to sign an exclusive promotional agreement as a precondition to obtaining a bout agreement with another boxer signed by the same promoter."

          -"prohibits a promoter from requiring that a boxer grant it future promotional rights as a precondition for competing in a bout which is mandatory under the rules of a sanctioning organization."

            Yes that is my opinion.

            Because of the things he has said, and because of the beating he took, why would anyone want to take a fight they can't win and take a severe beating from.

            But once he gets stripped it will be proven beyond doubt.

              It's a shame your opinion doesn't match up to the facts.

              A fight he can't win? I guess you missed the 9th round where Groves was badly hurt and on the brink of being KO'd?

              Froch is in talks with HBO about Chavez Jr and Golovkin. He has other options if he so wishes to take them.

                Everybody knows it was a bogus stoppage. Why do you think the IBF ordered a rematch. And Froch was getting a beating. That is the facts.

                Chavez jr and Froch deserve each other, both got gifts in their last fights. Both have poor technique, good chins and heavy handed.

                Froch will take the fight because it is a fight he can win, he cannot beat Groves in the rematch and could get seriously hurt.

                If I was Froch and his management team, I too would duck Groves and fight Chavez jr.

                  I didn't say the stoppage was good. Everybody should also know that Groves was badly hurt unless they are in denial. So how can Froch not win when he had Groves in serious trouble?

                  Chavez Jr is a PPV fight on HBO in America. Groves rematch likely wouldn't even be picked up by a major US network.

                    Froch was hurt much more several time in the fight.

                    Groves had his chin tucked down, throwing punches and his guard up.

                    If you think that is getting badly hurt, maybe you haven't watched much boxing at all.


                    And if Froch wanted Chavez, why offer Groves the rematch?

                      Yeah he's totally fine

                      That clip doesn't even show how he fell backwards into the ropes whilst trying to protest to the referee.
