Comments Thread For: Froch: Fans Would Support Me, Groves Struggling To Sell

[Lullaby]

I know it could be a bit harsh from me but.

Froch's drawing power is Massively overrated.

His fight against Groves sell out 80,000 mainly cause of Groves, whether you like it or not, he was the one who did majority of the trash talks and brought the interest element to that fight, add up to that all the first fight controversy.

He's no David Haye that can sell 50,000 Stadium fighting some bum.


I doubt Froch can sell a big stadium outside of Nottingham .

We must not forget that Froch was massively hated in the Uk pre George Groves fights and wasn't a big name at all in the Uk.


Froch is sounding like George Groves had no role in selling the tickets and filling up seats, when majority of public wanted Groves to win and the fight took place in Grove's hometown.

When did haye sell a 50.000 seater stadium vs a bum? If your on about the chisora fight at upton park, it was only half full.

Maybe not 50,000 but it certainly wasn't half filled.

Haye's fight with Fury was speculated to fill out The Men arena but unfortunately it got cancelled. His fight against Chisora filled in 30,000 spectators despite all that controversy. Also his fight against Audley Harrison was infront of a packed crowd at Men.
The fight with Klitschko did 1,143,000 buys in England

Guess when was the last time Froch came close to achieving such numbers before Geoge Groves fights?

King Carl has earned the right to do and say what the **** he wants, Groves is a squire in comparison.

He filled out the 02 for the Kessler fight, but at this moment in time I'd say Froch is more relevant and Haye not so much, plus Haye has pi55ed the fans of with all these pull outs so I can't see him selling out big arenas anytime soon.

I think Carl is a bit full of himself, albeit understandably so.

Froch Groves did sell out Wembley - but only because of the controversy and excitement of the first fight.

Froch Kessler was a barnstormer. However there was no way Froch Kessler II was going to fill Wembley - which, by Froch's logic, it would have done.

Froch has drawing power and has exciting fights, but he should stop masturbating his own ego just because he laid Groves out cold. A large portion of those who bought into the 2nd fight did so because they expected to see Groves lay Froch out cold, not because they were Froch super fans like he seems to believe.

Froch is full of rubbish. Groves drew interest to both fights. The first fight he was teasing carl. Playing all the mind games with him. Then he done the unexpected and dropped froch in round one after he told everyone was gonna back up froch and hit him with right hands. Froch didnt want the rematch it was groves who went to new jersey and appealed to the IBF. then constantly challenged froch. If froch had his way he wouldnt have fought groves again and The whole selling out wembley wouldnt have happend.

Carl is the man.

People dislike a guy for telling it like it is? He just says what he knows to be correct and gives no ****s.

Froch was never remotely disliked.

He wasn't well known because of terrible TV deals with Setanta and then Primetime. Since then, he's got with Sky and sold out arenas against Bute, Kessler, Mack, Groves and then Wembley with Groves again.

Carl will sell out any arena against any opponent, he is a huge name now. Easily the biggest in Britain.
