Froch shouldn't openly duck fighters like that.

Pretty sure it was in pounds they got paid lol...
Last quote I heard of what who was getting was
Froch estimate of 10million pounds
Groves estimate of 2million pounds

Big PPV so those numbers look realistic, I wonder what Eddie Hearn was pocketing from this event!

[Bushbaby]

not in most, but in some cases, yes. knockouts at HW come to mind. liston - clay, patterson - johannson for example.

froch is ward's # 1 contender. unless he moves up, there is no better fight.

No better fight for who?? There's plenty of better fights for Froch. He got beat, don't want no more. But it's Ward the (victor), who wants to sit and beg for it.

Don't blame him, big pay-day and an easy nights work!
Would you not want that fight If you were in his shoes.

Lmao dat sig!



Carl says he is a warrior this and that all his usual crap mouthy chav comments that he usually spouts out with his horrible family members jumping to abuse his opponents via social media...

Carl the warrior who wants to right a wrong with Kessler but not Ward??
Hmmm a blatant duck, he is seen as the cash cow of that division and the only reason he doesn't want to try to get a win over Ward is because he knows he is risking getting schooled even worse than last time.

Kessler like a true gent and honorable man reaised froch had the belts and just came off demolishion jobs of BUTE and Yusef mack. The first figh was very close(one i had to froch) and it was considred a classic.

As Kessler is a)a warrior

b) realised froch was the man of the moment, he prepared to travel over to London england for a lions share 50 50.

Andre ward beat froch 115-113 by the American judges score cards. Froch has beaten all the elite opposition and prospects in the super middle weight division. So hes still man of the moment since 2011. Boxing lenged chris byrd along with many others feel froch is number 1 super middle weight, and number 1 draw.

Froch will fight ward only if he gets out of Oakland and comes to England.

Kessler was a man and did it, why not ward??????

It's a duck.. But it's a clever duck.. Let's not forget boxing is also a business and a business that sells the hype surrounding the product as well as the product.

Ward is all risk and low reward. Good business says stay away from such investments.

What is the point of going into a fight that you will likely lose that no one wants to watch except a few Ward pole riders?

Froch simply does not need Ward to make good fights and more importantly.. Good money.

Why would Ward want to fight someone he already beat anyway? It wasn't close or controversial. Stinks of riding coattails.

I'm not blaming Ward for anything. If he wants to sit on the sidelines and beg an inferior fighter for a fight instead of going out there and getting paid, more power to him tbh.

What I'm not going to do is blame Froch, the lesser fighter for ducking a man that beats him 10 out of 10 times. Especially since he actually fought him before.

[AntonTheMeh]

lol. can you even duck someone who's been inactive for 7 months with nothing currently lined up?

[Beater_of_ass]

People are seriously saying he is ducking Ward? It must be the same people who say Marquez is ducking Mayweather... except at least Mayweather isn't actually calling out Marquez, someone he beat. How about you guys ask Andre why he won't fight Golovkin, that's a duck not what Froch is doing.

[CraigM]

It's probably Carl's last fight, you leave on your own terms not of someone who can't seem to get in the ring without it being on their terns

[GhostBlade]

Froch knows that a fight with Chavez Jr. will bring him a lot more money. Also, even if he loses to Chavez Jr., I bet there's still a chance he can get a rematch with Ward because Froch will still bring in tons of interest and money for Ward. Ward would be a fool not to rematch Froch.
