Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Spoke To Froch, He's Interested in Golovkin

[MDPopescu]

Froch got used with a sold out Wembley Stadium. Nothing else would move him.

It's not a PPV fight in the US, so what kind of payday would Froch be looking at if he fought at the MGM Grand?

If he was to fight Golovkin, he'd be better to fight him at the City ground in Nottingham imo

...So you don't pay for such a fight at the Wembley as venue? Why that?

great video, he's been out for so long that it's easy to forget what Froch is about

[Blue Heffner]

If Golovkin stopped Froch, I wonder if people would shit on it by saying Froch was done anyway? Some people would obviously, but what would the consensus be?

I think he'd get credit. Maybe not as much as he should, but taking out Carl Froch would be a serious statement, and put to bed any doubts about Golovkin's power at 168. For me at least.

As of right now, I'd pick Froch because I think he'd stay on the outside. I also think his unorthodox style would confuse Golovkin a little bit. But if GGG knocks out Froch, he'd get full credit from me because we know, Froch has a granite chin, he's not afraid to exchange, and he has power. Interesting matchup.

Question for the British folk here.

Does GGG have any sort of following out there?

Doubtful a Golovkin fight would even sell out Wembley, let alone in 5 minutes.

No one knows who he is

What would be the best venue for this match-up?

Depends what you mean. British boxing fans know of, and like Golovkin. Casual boxing fans and the man on the street won't know much about him.

Froch made $12.5mill for the Groves rematch, but that was because Groves refused the initial offer and it went to purse with Carl taking 85%. It was more less an anomaly that he made that much. In addition Groves was the marketing force behind that fight. That card overall generated $35mill, with a little more that $15.5mill going to the fighters.

If they fight on USppv, I'd imagine they'd be able to take in atleast 300k buys, giving the fighter's a total of about $7mill. Add in gate, MGM site fee, UKppv, and other foreign tv, there's no reason the fighter's total purse wouldn't reach atleast $10mill. Carve up a 60/40 split in Froch's favor and you can ask yourself would Froch take the fight for $6mill min? More than likely he'd make over $10mill depending how the UKppv would carry on a US fight time.

I think it's touch and go if this would be on HBO PPV or not either way froch would surely bring in at least 10 million maybe even 12 depending on the split, so the money is definitely there for him
