Depends on the circumstances, but Eddie Hearn will be hard pressed to escape blame.
Yeah, personally I don't think he needed to push Groves for a 3 fight option. I guess he doesn't want him trotting down the road to Warren if he beat Froch.
To give you a face full of Americanisms, the bottom line is that the buck stops with Froch.
He's the one in a position to make this fight happen or not. All the noise that he's made thus far indicates that he doesn't want it, and I can understand that. Nor does McCracken want to put his man back in there with Groves, and rightfully so, his job is to protect his fighter.
Froch would do well to think long and hard about the damage that his reputation will take if he chooses to fight Chavez Jr. instead. If he truly believes that he's the better man then re-matching Groves is a win/win situation. He'll receive a monumental payday and silence his critics in the process whilst restoring his standing with the general public and casual fight fans whose attention he so desperately courted.
