Comments Thread For: Hearn: Froch's Options Are Chavez, Kessler and DeGale

[boxingfocus]

Degale fight can make a lot of money

Yeah, for DeGale.

For Froch it'll be the least lucrative of the 3 fights. It is probably in the middle in terms of how it affects his legacy. He beat Kessler decisively enough last time out compared to the pretty close 1st fight where he seemed to be caught out by out of the ring issues. Chavez Jr is just a much bigger name than DeGale at this moment in time.

Kessler hasn't fought since the last Froch fight, they've already fought twice and Kessler is clearly drifting into retirement and not a full time boxer anymore. Not interested.

DeGale is another "domestic" fight and Froch is pretty clearly far and above the UK's best fighter already so who cares.

He should fight Chavez in Las Vegas. It would be a brawl, huge loud crowd between British fans and Mexican fans, be a good late career fight.

Ward rematch would be #1 but it's just not gonna happen. There are other threads about that.

When has Froch ever fought on PPV? And I'm not talking PPV over there where them funny talking muf.uckaz live.

His last 3 fights have been on Sky Box Office PPV in the UK. He's a PPV fighter - it doesn't matter where, he still is and is still earning huge money from a very lucrative market.

A fight with Chavez Jr would be on PPV here and in the US. The only way Ward will get on PPV is through us "funny talking mu***az" cos he aint getting on HBO PPV on his own merit.

Fake Jr beats the older Froch in the fight of the decade

Exactly, he's only sold PPVs to funny talking muf.uckaz like you.

BTW, I think it's awesome Ward isn't on PPV. The only reason I have HBO and Showtime is for boxing anyway. I get no personal sense of pride outta having to basically pay two cable bills in a given month to see one of my favs.

Funny talking mu***az? The irony. It's ok, you can keep using our language. You're welcome.

You think it's awesome but I'm sure Andre Ward doesn't think it's awesome watching the likes of George Groves fight on PPV before him.

i think It should be Chavez,,,Chavez although some say he's trash but he bring in ratings and people to watch him fight

I'm from the South biotch. I likely use very little of "your language."

As for Ward. Who gives a f.uck what he thinks. I don't make a dime off that ****. To me, they're all overpaid.

[ChestRockwell]

The Chavez fight would be the best option. Froch is close to retirement and wouldn't make the money he'd want fighting Ward because Ward doesn't draw. Plus nobody wants to see Ward fight. The guy is boring as hell. Just listen to how much Max Kellerman was kissing his ass during the Froch/Groves fight. He needs constant promotion from his fellow commentators just to stay relevant.

He means English, doesn't matter where you're from in the U.S. English originated in Europe. Also, the southern accent came directly from the English accent. It's actually a poor man's, badly distorted and changed British accent, Bama.
