So it seems Froch is down to potentially fight GGG...after Ward?

The reality is that Froch wants to earn similar or greater money fighting less risky opponents, which is fair enough, but it certainly doesn't cohere with Froch's image as the man who will face anyone.
    Froch vs anyone is sky ppv they only care about hbo ppv.

    I agree with you no fighter today will truly fight anyone but he has had a lot of tough fights. Pascal, Taylor, Andre Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham, Johnson, Ward, Bute, Mack, Kessler, Groves x2 only Mack is a gimme. So he deserves some credit.

      They've always maintained that if the fight was HBO PPV, then they'd fight Golovkin. Fighters don't just fight for "the love of the nerds online".
      Hearn initially used Golovkin's name to continue this facade that Froch is so tough that he will fight anyone, and then as Golovkin has got bigger and bigger he is constantly asked about him as a potential opponent for Froch. Then Hearn is always talking about it as a potential fight for Froch, but always down the line even though it would make good money on Sky PPV.

      As for the last sentence, show some ****ing self-awareness.

      This is not difficult to grasp.
      I never said it was, I said it was Sky Sports PPV. Is that difficult to grasp?

        Is Ward easier than Golovkin?

        He did want Chavez but that was for an HBO PPV fight in Las Vegas.

          ... I don't think that the Brits are that dumb... They would go for a 50-50 split, just because its' Froch who's selling the tickets... not Ward...

            Why would Hearn need to use Golovkin's name? Judging by his ratings on Channel 5, no one knows or cares who Golovkin is.

            No fighter just fights anyone for the sake of it. The potential for a Froch-Golovkin fight to be PPV on both sides of the Atlantic is there. Why pull the trigger now when Golovkin will be a HBO PPV fighter in a few months time?

            So what? Froch against your mum is Sky PPV. He's a PPV fighter unlike Golovkin.

              He wouldn't be fighting ward if it wasn't mandated

                Less likely to receive a concussion, in that sense yes. Besides Froch hasn't been much interested in Ward of late, mostly for good reason, until the WBA made their decision the other day. He wanted the relatively easy big pot of gold called Julio Cesar Chavez jr.

                Well he has talked a lot about Golovkin as an opponent for Froch for about 2 years, so . . .

                Froch and Hearn have both said that Froch might actually retire and you are talking about letting the Froch-Golovkin fight marinade? Really?

                Again, where did I say or imply that Froch should face Golovkin for little money? I said he should face him on Sky PPV, that is big money.

                No Froch against my mum wouldn't be Sky PPV, your mum is a different story, she has had the experience of people paying to watch her in action.

                  But he can face anyone on Sky PPV. A fight with James DeGale would do better on Sky PPV than Golovkin.

                  The idea of a Golovkin fight is that it will be a duel PPV with HBO and Sky. I don't see what is so difficult to understand about that. A fight of that magnitude deserves to be on both PPV platforms and it will be soon enough.

                  Froch can retire if he wants but if he carries on then Golovkin will be a lucrative option in the next few months. It's not like he needs to fight Golovkin. I can understand why you are impatient because Golovkin needs Froch.

                    That's quite funny because Golovkin wanted the same thing and even signed for the fight against Chavez. And we all know Golovkin wasn't interested in Ward because of "financial sense".

                    So let's climb down off our high horse, shall we?
