Groves don't want those problems again, he was lucky to get the decision in the 1st Fight, he gets STOPPED in the Rematch and he knows it! DeGale has gotten BETTER since that 1st Fight!
James Degale: "George Groves Turned Down £2 Mill ($3.1 Mil) And Ducked Me!"

Except that in Khan's case he was aiming for P4P Kings (or co-Kings I guess) and his back up was a at least $5 Million showdown. Either ways it is Millions.Same mindset as Khan, same mindset with Cotto. They know the likes of DeGale, Brook & Alvarez will always be there and still be lucrative matchups regardless of what happens to them in the meantime. Those matchups present the perfect cashing-in point as they'll all lose and be forced on the long road back after they do lose.
It's a pretty gay mentality but as is often pointed out - both by fanboys and the boxers themselves - bahxin' idda bidniss.
Groves here is as Dirk said wanting to get spanked in some bingo hall for 6 figures and his back up plan is the more lucrative option.
While, both fighters' "back-up" plan is a more lucrative bout, Khan is chasing prestige by going after Mayweather, where as beating Direll or Degale counts for same for Groves, so might as well get paid more for it.Comment

like i said he would most likely get knocked out by all of them. i know it would lose its luster but again, degale despises groves and i think that loss still burns him up enough to make the fight regardless. its still a decent sized domestic fight given their bad blood and past history even if george gets flattened again. peanuts or not groves would get another title shot.Yeah right....lol. He just doesn't want to get knocked out by DeGale. He'll take that one point gift decision to his grave.
Plus, if he loses to Anthony Dirrell and DeGale wins, the fight would lose a lot of lustre and he'd get offered peanuts compared to this so it probably wouldn't happen.Comment

And now he's not fighting either and he will still not contemplate the idea of fighting Brook.Comment

Well, the first half of 2015 involved the Cult pushing Mayweather in to the corner, which resulted in the Pacquiao bout, which is an eliminator to fight Khan and save boxing in the process.
Yeah, I was going to say.Last edited by Box-Office; 03-04-2015, 03:24 PM.Comment

Since, Brook has won the title Hearn was going off "Wembley, Wembley". So, the December defense that was planned wasn't going to work out. Not to mention he got stabbed.
Now, he has a mandatory lined up for March 28th.
Only at this point in time it makes perfect sense for it to happen.
As for not contemplating, there was an article on this site regarding that:
