    Borat's the only Kazakh that is a draw in America.

      That has got to be one of the dumbest thing ForeignSoil has ever said.

      Right after saying Curtis Stevens would hurt Froch.
      The kid is laugh-a-minute

        GGG/Chavez Jr. is bigger than Froch/Chavez Jr.

        Free TV. Chavez Jr./Vera made 1.390 mln (1.530 mln). GGG/Rubio made 1.304 mln (1.323 mln). Fact is, that GGG is more popular than Froch in the United States and Mexico. ***8220;Who? Froch? I've never heard of him. What? ***8221; - standard phrases in California. Therefore, on the one hand, GGG/Chavez Jr. PPV is bigger in the United States. Pretty simple mathematics. But, on the other hand, Froch/Chavez Jr. is bigger in the United Kingdom. Where will they fight? UK? Froch. US? GGG.

          Once again, Froch will fight Golovkin if the deal is right. Why would he fight Golovkin for less than what he'd get for a DeGale fight? Does that make sense to you?
          Yes, I can see the financial sense, but Degale adds nothing to his legacy on a global scale. I'm not saying don't fight Degale, but Froch has just had two wins over the guy that has two wins over Degale.

          He really craves the Vegas fights and GGG or JR are the way forward at this time. When/if Degale reaches a level where the fight is being called for by the fans, then so be it.

            Froch doesn't really want to fight DeGale. Looks like Chavez Jr or nothing for him.

              Shame really. Something about Degale rubs me up the wrong way and I can picture him bleeding, but a fight with JR is no bad thing. Mexicans love brawlers like Froch and it could potentially extend his career with big fights before he bows out.

                Chavez-Froch is a sell out in Vegas, it's also a dual PPV...HBO have already said GGG is not yet a PPV fighter.

                Chavez-Froch does close to a million buys in the UK, probably around 300,000 in the US....quite simply, it's a far more lucrative fight.

                    Its known underneath the table that Froch is a huge PED fiend, and also a massive racist, a supporter if the neo **** english party, the BNP.

                    Even with the Peds, I think GGG would end him, just like his own promoter Hearn thinks. That is the only reason they are avoiding GGG. GGG would let Froch take the lions share, so in reality he would make more with GGG than with Chavez.

                    Theres also the little fact, Chavez isn't fighting and GGG is, so Hearns stance is pretty dishonest. But then again, the English have always been known for their duplicity.
