Comments Thread For: Groves To Hearn: Get Daddy To Make Me Sensible Offer!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBC mandatory challenger George Groves has hit back at promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport. Hearn recently questioned Groves' business decision to bypass and rematch offer with James DeGale in favor of a smaller sum for a crack at WBC super middleweight champion Anthony Dirrell.

Hearn clamed Groves' financial requirements for a DeGale rematch were "unreasonable." Groves decisioned DeGale several years ago.

Groves disputes some of the banter coming from Hearn and directs him to get his father, Barry Hearn, to present him with a real offer.

Goerge needs a good win to put him back in but I hope they can make the Degale fight too many seem to be falling through .

I've been in boxing longer than you. When i won my Commonwealth title you was still selling programs at the darts.

Haha it's funny because it's true.

Groves is a first class twat. Hearn should just let him wait another year to get his shot and then get knocked out by Dirrell.

I don't understand why we're supposed to want to see Groves rematch this DeGale guy? Just because they both train in the UK? It seems like a very forced storyline.

Dirrell is a more interesting opponent.

Groves is mildly deluded, but quite funny...

Ironically Eddie Hearn probably made a lot more money 'selling programs at the darts' than Groves has getting punched in the face.

At least Groves has made his money of his own back Eddie Hearn has had everything given to him, in saying that hes done an ok job so far.

It's a big domestic fight that will appeal to the casuals in the UK. So basically it's Hearn's business model in a nutshell.
