Comments Thread For: Froch Says DeGale Ahead of Golovkin in Selection Order

[Eastcoast]

Is Eddie still in talks to have DeGale/Hopkins?

[G_Child_123]

I was under the impression that Degale was'nt very popular in th UK. Would he really outsell GGG?

James DeGale won an Olympic Gold Medal for Great Britain. He's very well known here. Maybe wasn't "popular" as in he had a lot of fans but people are jumping on the ****wagon now.

No one knows who GGG is in the UK.

Seems like he knuckled down and checked his attitude after the Groves fight.

He's certainly changed my perceptions of him.

In fact him and Groves have had a bit of a personality swap.

The Brits would rather pay for an 'all British' fight,because the belt stays at home... The Brits don't pay to watch Ward or Golovkin winning on British soil... It's simple.

It's not quite like that, the belt doesn't really matter and neither does alternative foreign fights.

Generally speaking, British people would just rather watch two British boxers fights.

To draw a comparison, Romanians would be far more interested in watching Lucian Bute than Andre Ward or Carl Froch even if the latter are better.

People like to watch their own guys.

Romanian boxing fans aren't that ******: at this point they would rather pay to watch Froch or Ward instead of Bute... (anyway, when Bute fought last time at home his purse was paid by sponsors, not by the public)...

... And it's a bad comparison: British boxing is extremely solid as a sport, business... In my country pro boxing doesn't exist.

Who would pull a bigger crowd in Bucharest? Bute or Ward? I'm guessing it's the Romanian. Am I wrong?

Is this meant to make me understand something i don't?
... I was only saying that British fighters would rather sell out a home matchup than a Ward, GGG fight... which is obvious...

"Froch also revealed that the demands made by Golovkin, including dropping down substantially in weight, mean that he is more likely to face DeGale if he takes on either."

Hearn and Froch aren't on the same page.

Wait..... team Golovkin want a catchweight ?

For the last time, they never wanted a catchweight.

The brits are madly passionate about sport, period.

They are not fair-weather fans, like you are trying to make out.

When the British Lions tour here, they bring 40k fans, even though they have little chance of winning.

[MDPopescu]

By British Lions you mean the Rugby team, right?
... One cannot compare Rugby with Boxing...
... Rugby is the best sport that ever existed, it doesn't matter who wins the match...
