    Who the fcuk said Ggg has massive appeal in the UK? Froch is a bigger star in the UK than buma$$ Chavez in the US, yet Chavez would be A side vs Froch
    Find them yourself.

    I'm pretty sure it would be a 50/50 split. Happens when you have a massive fan base.

      I don't need to, I know they were poor.

      Doubt its a 50/50 split on us ppv, since Chavez brings a large majority of the buys, and sells most of the tickets, by far. Froch can make up some with the 3am UK ppv

          You didn't "get me" to do anything, kid. I've never slammed Golovkin as a fighter and I know full well it'd be a dangerous fight for Froch.....and vice versa. It would be a war that could change both guy's careers so they both should be compensated accordingly.

            Guess Golovkin isn't a fearless warrior either.

              Froch-Groves II did very well in the ratings considering Froch had only been on HBO once before and Groves was completely unknown to an American audience. Plus it was aired live in the afternoon in America.

              It was a greater success than Golovkin-Geale which was on Prime Time HBO but completely tanked in the ratings. Golovkin's ratings went up against Rubio thanks to the help of Donaire on the undercard.

              Froch would get a decent cut of the US PPV against Chavez. Chavez would get some of the UK money. That's the benefit of doing a dual PPV. Something Golovkin simply cannot offer.

              The only person the FrocH-GGG fight would really benefit financially is Golovkin because he'd want a "huge chunk" of the UK PPV and gate money which would all be sold by Froch. Whereas Froch would get virtually *** all back from Golovkin's side.

                Froch would knock Golovkin out anyway.

                    Which interview are you talking about?

                    Team GGG's regarding Andre Ward?

                      Latest by Hearn on Froch-Golovkin. Both sides want it, money's just not there right now. What I struggle to understand is how Chavez is a ppv fight for either guy. Chavez at his peak only drew 500k+ buys when he fought Sergio Martinez.

                      Froch's not a huge draw in the US. His fight with Kessler was advertised as drawing 1.1mill views, but it was 493k views for the live show, and 517k for the replay later that night. While Froch-Groves II had a 700k average and 830k peak.
                      The highly anticipated rematch between Carl Froch and George Groves fared incredibly well at the box-office, produced a highlight reel ending and – for U.S. cable network HBO – proved to be a worthy Saturday matinee feature. The May 31 headliner at Wembley Stadium in London proved to be a successful venture in an otherwise risky time slot for HBO, generating an average of 700,000 viewers over the course of their thrilling super middleweight title fight. Froch (33-2, 24KO) added to his growing stature as boxing’s perennial tough guy, overcoming an early rally to knock Groves out cold in the 8th round of their instant classic. The bout topped out at 830,000 viewers and overall served as a 42% increase from Froch’s network appearance this time one year ago. His rematch with Mikkel Kessler – in which Froch avenged a 2010 defeat to score a unanimous decision last May – was one of the best fights of 2013, but only playing to an audience of 493,000 viewers on this side of the Atlantic.


                      Looks like the only way we get Froch-Golovkin is if Froch gets the Vegas fight with Chavez (bringing up his profile in the US) and if Golovkin continues with wins over guys like Murray on a prime time more suitable for UK fans and maybe a follow-up with a fight against Kessler in Denmark.
