    Yes he has, but that offer was obviously including a few options, a rematch etc. And still only 20% of the cut. Now, we both know it wasn't rejected because of the amount involved, but because Groves didn't want to be tied to matchroom.

    But he can't fight Froch and become a millionaire. 15% of 5m is 750k right? And you might see it as double standards, but to me there's a difference between 40 million and 750k.
    No there's no options now because Groves has been instated as the mandatory.

    There's also a difference between George Groves and Manny Pacquaio but you probably don't see that with your ginger tinted spectacles on.

      I know that, and what i'm saying is that he can't fight Froch and become a millionaire under the current circumstances. Because if he only gets 15% he is lucky to get 750k assuming the fight is worth 5mil which i'm doubting as well.

      Is there a difference? Hmmm... I wouldn't have known.

        Froch's fault. He should be hungry to get back in with Groves and finish the job. All these fans are unsatisfied and he's looking the other way.

          The offer's on the table - if Groves doesn't want it, there's no one else to blame.

          agree with this

            Unless Froch drops his IBF title and walks away, i'd say Groves.
            Groves wanted a rematch and was granted it. All he has to do is agree with the split.

              Groves cried for rematch with IBF.
              He got it
              Rules state he gets 15%
              He should get 15% and not a penny more weather he deserve it or not, and if he doesn't like it then boo***inhoo!!!!!!

              plus his attempt to get the fight ruled a no contest is a complete joke.
