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!

Originally posted by Norm Peterson View PostSame 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.

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.

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

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:
