FULL Eddie Hearn Interview on Gennady Golovkin vs Carl Froch

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Because that fight will be hard to finance at all. Neither guy brings enough money for the purses the fight would command. For example, Ward is waiting for an offer from a guy whose career high is less than half Ward's last tuneup wage. No such issue with Froch

Uhh...the Golovkin-Froch fight doesn't bring the money for the purses that the fight would command either. It's the exact same situation.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Again the market determines the fights worth, the promoter and the tv network project what that worth is, if their calculations and foresight is correct then they will make money. The fighter wants as much money as possible. Froch doesn't want to fight Golovkin because he considers (correctly) that Golovkin is tougher than DeGale and Chavez. He wants to be compensated for losing, and indeed perhaps being knocked out. Again that is fair enough but if that is the case, and it is, then he cannot also claim he will fight anyone regardless (within reason).

Nobody is ducking Ward at this stage, Ward is a non-entity until he sorts out his promotional problems.

So why did Golovkin's team reject the notion of a Ward fight out of hand due to "financial sense"?

[Weebler I]

If Froch wants to fight the easier opponents for the same or slightly more money then that is fine.

Froch doesn't want to fight Golovkin because he considers (correctly) that Golovkin is tougher than DeGale and Chavez.

What Froch wants to do is fight in Las Vegas, Chavez is the only viable PPV fight there.

So why did Golovkin's team reject the notion of a Ward fight out of hand due to "financial sense"?

Did they? Ward is perhaps the fight i'd most like to see Golovkin in, besides beating the **** out of Mayweather, but right now Ward is on the sidelines. Ward is not an option for anyone until he sorts his promotional stuff out.

Uhh...the Golovkin-Froch fight doesn't bring the money for the purses that the fight would command either. It's the exact same situation.

I'm not sure about that, unless Froch needs to be paid outsized for the massive risk he'd be taking. GGG's purse would be a fraction of Froch's.

[HeroBando]

So why did Golovkin's team reject the notion of a Ward fight out of hand due to "financial sense"?

Duh, cause neither guy is in a position to make a satisfactory offer.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Eddie Hearn "Froch-Golovkin doesn't make financial sense"

Golovkin fantards reaction: "Froch is SCARED! He should want to fight the best. He's ducking!






Tom Loffler: "Ward-Golovkin doesn't make financial sense"

Golovkin fantards reaction: "Ummm....well.....ummm....*squirm*.....ummm.....wel ll....well Ward's promotional issues derp.....*squirm*"

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Duh, cause neither guy is in a position to make a satisfactory offer.

What the Golovkin fight offers is unsatisfactory to Froch considering what he can get elsewhere. Are you dense?

[Humean]

What Froch wants to do is fight in Las Vegas, Chavez is the only viable PPV fight there.

Thats is fine. He wants to fight in Las Vegas more than he wants to face the toughest opponent out there for him. Good for him. Maybe he could acquire a date to headline a singing gig at Las Vegas too. Perhaps he could start up a new rat pack.

[HeroBando]

What the Golovkin fight offers is unsatisfactory to Froch considering what he can get elsewhere. Are you dense?

Understood, it's more risk than a Degale fight. Like Team Froch say, it's a horrible, dangerous, career threatening fight.
