Froch-Golovkin Talks Die Down

[bigjavi973]

Nope. Never said that at all. You are only revealing your lack of reading comprehension once again. Froch is debating retirement and debating fighting one last fight against GGG. Will the money he makes from the fight make any difference in his life? Probably not. Will beating a MW make any difference in his legacy? Not at all. But a loss to Golovkin will not help his legacy in the least and GGG is a very dangerous opponent, by Froch's own admission, and anything can happen in the ring. Is it worth it to Froch to risk his future on that one last fight? Not at all. Is there any shame is retiring instead of fighting GGG? Nope. Not in the slightest. Froch has earned the right to end his career whatever way he wishes, whether with a farewell fight or just a wave and a thank you to his fans.

In that case, you make a counter offer or at least you communicate with the other side. In this case, even Froch's own promoter has not been in contact with him. This is not a case of not liking the offer, it is a case of Froch deciding whether or not to retire. His decision may not have anything to really do with Golovkin per se, but the risk of fighting such a fighter may have helped Froch put things into perspective and realize that it is time to hang up the gloves once and for all.

Basically you wrote the risk that froch would take in fighting GGG "helped put things in perspective". Meaning, "froch knows he'll lose so instead of fighting GGG he'll rather retire".

All you did was sugarcoat your post.

You've answered absolutely no questions and only posed more to draw attention away from the issues at hand, HBO will not pay for the likes of Cotto, Canelo and Froch to get in the ring with GGG.

Boxing is a short career, do some research, you'll understand why GGG is only fighting crappy fights and why the fans on NSB are beginning to get fed up with his defences.

Middleweight champ whom holds the belt purely for financial reasons and will vacate it for financial reasons too. What is their not to understand ? Ignore me all you like, I care little, I never expected to get straight answers from you regardless.

Ignorant as hell. Hbo cannot pay Cotto, Canelo, Froch unless its a low cost tuneup. Froch made like 12m in his last fight with barely any Hbo contribution. Even half that is way beyond Hbos budget. Why dont you get informed before writing these moronic novels?

Froch only made $12mill because Groves was an idiot and let it goto purse bids. Generally he pull's in a quarter of that for a fight.

It didn't go to purse bid:

I don't see anyone that would have bid 15m. They only agreed on the percentage split, not the actual purses.

Regardless, there's no way HBO can make it worthwhile for Froch. The fight is financially makeable, but only in the UK due to Froch's local appeal.

"froch is gonna retire cuz he scared of GGG doe"

"Chavez Jr scared of GGG doe"

"Canelo, Cotto & Floyd scared of GGG doe"

"Ward? Whos ward? That fight dont make financial sense doe"

I will fight a small middlewieght(GGG) but will never fight guys my own size(kova, stevenson), ward 178 at olympics.

ward has kovalev problems,

ward said anyone from 168-175, 3 years ago, then when kova called him out he backed out like a biitch. also keep in mind ward fought at 178 in Olympics.

Its the 15th paragraph, ward said anyone from 168-175

Here are three occasions where Kovalev/team called ward out,

Sorry I ment purse split. IBF ordered the rematch and Groves got 15% based on his #3 ranking and Carl refused to renegotiate. Either way, it was an obscure purse for Froch.

Froch IS a stay busy fight for Golovkin. He is not a MW and does not advance GGG's goal of unifying all the MW titles. He is a way to stay busy and pick up a decent payday at the same time.

And you have finally earned a spot on my ignore list with the rest of the ignorant idiots. I was wondering who would be the first to take a shot at disparaging Froch as an opponent. If it was Ward, you would be saying that he was a bum coming off a long layoff. There is no one who would be a suitable opponent for Golovkin as you will always find some problem with them. You are not a boxing fan, you are a troll who just wants to get under everyone's skin.

Completely agree.

So you're saying HBO can not afford to tempt Froch, and nobody Iis ducking anybody, right ? Just wanna clarify that you understand it is HBO failing to tempt these guys.

Isn't RNS and Duva in talks for a ward-kova clash for the near future?

NEXT EXCUSE!!!

I already explained this dumba$$. This fight only makes major money in the UK, and Hbo never pays much for overseas fights. If they fight in the US, it wouldnt be on Hbo and its way beyond their budget.
