Comments Thread For: Hearn Admits He Has His Hands Full With Froch-Groves II

[Citizen Koba]

The fight is now so high profile that 70/30% & no options should be the offer.

Groves already turned down 25% with options, but ultimately he ain't in the driving seat - realistically Froch is titleholder and is not obligated to give Groves more than 15%. Froch is at the end of his career, Groves has his big paydays in front of him if he can get the belt.

Thing is, if Groves won't take the offered payday, he's the one who'll be seen as walking away from a fantastic opportunity. Hell, what did he expect to happen when he went to the IBF?

Groves is a decent fighter, but he ain't in the position to be turning down title shots at this point in his career cos they don't pay enough.

Since when is business about charity? Rules are rules and Froch is obliged to give 15%, no more, no less. So why does everyone expect the rules of the game to be changed for George Groves?
It doesn't help Groves' cause that he continues to irritate a guy who already hates his guts and who is also capable of holding firm to the 85/15 share if he really wants to
I mean what would any of you guys do if you were in a position to do business with someone you didn't like and wanted to see fail? would you give them charity or would you give them the roughest deal that you were allowed to give by law? That's right you would make life as hard as possible for them and also give them as little as possible.

15%. Take it or leave it George.

Fight will go to purse bids if not agreed today, according to Eurosport.

This was obvious...

... But I don't think that Hearn would miss this one -- he's too shrewd imo...
... Even he has to deal with two stubborn Brit fighters...

(Groves deserves a bigger share this time... but I'm still rooting for Froch!)

I think it is pretty simple. The longer no deal gets done the more chance of it going to purse bids which is exactly what Froch wants. 15/85 is just the way its meant to be. Hope Froch doesn't let Hearn talk him into being reasonable. Its personal between Froch and Groves and every victory in and out of the ring counts until the fight is over.

I think there is too much money at stake for Hearn and he doesn't want to make Groves give up the fight.

Groves has wrote to the BBBoC, asking for the Froch TKO win to be turned into a no contest. Man, this guy just goes on and on.

All this crying Groves is doing is making me want Froch to spark him unconscious in the rematch.

Groves knows that Froch can't stand him... And he makes the most out of this... Not so difficult to understand.
