    I'm only a "weekend semiotician" with some limited knowledge in the field of cultural anthropology.

    But nevermind.

      Anyway, yh these fights make more money in the UK but maybe Haymon has a pot of investor's gold to win a purse bid.

      I think DeGale beats Andre Dirrell, maybe even by stoppage but I've got the other Dirrell beating Groves, again maybe by stoppage.

      It only takes a certain cultural mind set...

        Anyway, it seems Haymon and Hearn are on good terms. I don't know. I don't think it will reach a purse bid. Too dangerous for everyone involved. But yeah, people are overrating Andre Dirrell. He's not even anywhere as good as he was when he fought Froch.
        Yeah, he's looked shaky, and so has Groves. Not to say they won't be better come fight night but I'm not picking them.

        If Froch beats Chavez he will probably fight James DeGale or Anthony Dirrell should they win.

          Cultural? You mean literal.

            Groves would fight Anthony Dirrell, although I haven't heard much about that fight being discussed and I think Anthony beats him.

            I give DeGale a much better chance against Andre and a stoppage isn't out of the question.

              For the moment I can't see that they get Froch-Chavez Jr. fight done -- due to those persistent managerial issues.

              But let's pretend they fight and that froch wins.

              Then:
              -- if DeGale beats Dirrell, I guess Froch would meet DeGale at the Wembley Stadium for another huge UK home fight;
              -- if Dirrell beats DeGale, I guess they would fight in Vegas -- in order for Andre to take his well deserved "revenge" (in case Al Haymon isn't flat broke by then and he is able to hype such a fight)...

                  I don't think Froch rematches Andre Dirrell in the US, that would happen in UK with a smallish ring. Dirrell would be happy to travel again because he would get paid big money and fight on PPV in UK. I would like to see Froch rematch Andre Dirrell because there were a lot of questions over the first fight and this would put them to bed.

                  However, the Anthony Dirrell fight would be good too. I don't really believe Froch wants to retire so all these fights are do-able except imo Groves III.

                    Groves is the mandatory for the WBC so I believe it has to happen next.

                      Ahh, so you did mean literacy. Just checking since cultural covers so much more. Didn't think you were the type to waver when confronted. Glad to see you're not.
