Comments Thread For: Hearn on Froch's Options: Ward, Chavez, Golovkin, More

They demand it cause its an out. Listen Im not saying GGG is the biggest money out there for Froch. Its up there, and IMO it does make him more than the much less risky Chavez. But no doubt GGG carries a ton of momentum and p4p points way beyond Chavez. Unlike Jr, smaller guy coming up in weight, gives up homecourt advantage. What's not to like, other than your chances?

Wow....Froch really is sick and crazy

Froch vs. GGG would be amazing.

Brits: would it sell out a soccer stadium?

I think it's a winnable fight for both. FOTY for sure. Could even see a triology (if Froch doesn't retire).

Top reply. That's not why Froch won't face him, its the risk duh. Those are some of the reasons for, comes cheap, but lots of exposure and p4p points, nevermind for someone smaller and unproven

It makes you wonder why Ricky Hatton ever came to Vegas.

I mean, he sold up to 50k tickets at home against opponents who came cheap and were on prime time UK PPV.

Why did he lose all that money by going to Vegas and fighting at 5 in the morning as the b-side?

Hate to break it to you, but Chavez is not Floyd lol. But I get the appeal of a Vegas fight for Froch, its legit. I don't think its a better move financially or in terms of legacy or current standing in boxing. Its much better on risk/reward sure. But if hes not passing Froch risk/reward filter, how the hell does he get fights vs the name guys, who are smaller, weaker or just plain worse like Chavez?

Was Floyd the only guy Hatton fought in Vegas? What about Khan? Lennox Lewis?

Why are all these UK fighters going to Vegas when it badly affects the "UK sales doe"?

Lewis never really was a UK fighter, sold ppvs etc. Khan went to the Us to rebuild. Whole different stage of career, ditto Hatton. Froch took a while to get that big, Vegas is his victory lap. Which is fine, he's earned it and should be a good fight. Hope he beats down Chavez and he should. Degale might even net him more money, but its more risk for less exposure. GGG would get him more exposure but unacceptably high risk I suppose, despite many advantages on paper

So all these UK fighters are losing money by going to America. Terrific argument genius.

Don't get so butthurt buddy. It all depends, what they're making at home, what's there for them in the US. Froch is doing great domestically, with only 1 ppv option stateside: buma$$ Chavez, unreliable mid size draw. If you're a welter there's more and much better options

Why doesn't Froch just fight Chavez in the UK then? Or fight anyone in the UK. Why is he so ********* on Vegas? Oh yeah cos he wants to lose money, I forgot
