    As much as people hype him up you have to place Ward above him , styles make fights.
    I reckon Froch thinks that leaving in excess of 5M behind for a shot at Ward isn't worthwhile. Like it or not.

      Thats a lame excuse Froch

      Seems like Froch has no faith in himself against Ward

      When you fight the best, you fight for the glory not the $$$

      Froch has made a lot of money, fighting Ward in the US for glory and honour is bigger than any pay cheque

      I think Froch simply is scared

        Groves fought his way to a mandatory spot, holds a W over DeGale. He's good, just not as good as Froch.

          Well he's wrong in the sense that it doesn't matter what day it is he never beats ward,2 much skill for froch. But he is right in the sense that there is not public demand here in the states for a rematch. Such a shame that big time athlete like Andre ward a gold medalist is unknown to the casual american.

            Froch v jnr would be the more entertaining fight.

            Nobody want to watch ward.

                The funny thing is Ward expects to be a PPV fighter, and he couldn't be further from it. If he carries on with that sense of entitlement he will never fight again.

                As Eddie Hearn was saying, Froch - Ward II would need to be a dual PPV fight in America and UK, it's just not going to happen. Ward is an excellent fighter in what he does, but there is nothing entertaining about him. He couldn't sell out a high school gym hall.

                  Damn thats bad! Its hard not to feel a little sorry for Ward, he's lost all of the momentum he had after winning the super six.

                    Ward vs anybody isn't a ppv fight

                      I don't like how Ward got one "win" vs Kessler in the tournament and then made a mockery of it by refusing to travel like everyone else did. The reason I write win with "" is because I don't really count that win for him. He head butted the **** outta Kessler.
