      Yeah but it's Wembley Stadium. It holds 80,000 people. It's in London. Froch is from Nottingham - it would sell out the City Ground. He can't just fight anyone and sell out Wembley Stadium.

      The reason the Groves fight sold was because of the controversy from the first fight and the fact that they were two Brits. It captured the imagination of the casual fans who have no idea who Gennady Golovkin is.

            It would probably have to have DeGale-Groves II on the card to sell out Wembley and it can't happen until next summer so I don't know why people are getting so excited.


            in your best guestimation, how many people would show up for GGG-Froch at Wembly?

              I never said it should be held at the bum ass Staples Centre

              They basically give away tickets there.

              If it's in America, it should go to Vegas.

                  The City Ground in Nottingham holds 30-40k so I'd guess all those fans would show up from Froch's home town. Then maybe another 10k. So about half the stadium would be empty and that would look horrible.

                  Golovkin should maybe have a fight over beforehand here because you can't fight at Wembley till the summer anyway.

                  I wouldn't be getting my hopes up for this happening though.

                    hey, if we can make threads about Joe Calzaghe coming out of retirement for one fight vs Froch, we can daydream about a GGG-Froch showdown

                      Yeah lol. I can't see how they can do 80,000 with Golovkin. It did 80,000 with Groves because what you said.

                      But who cares man, we just want to see Froch-Golovkin.
