    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.

        Ahh ok. Don't follow the boxing scene in Britain that close. Just got the impression from what I had seen, that people kinda thought he was an ass. Pretty much IFLtv is where I get my information from as far as th UK goes.

          That was the case a few years ago, he has won a lot of people over. Got a standing ovation at the last big boxing event here.

          Even if people did think he was an ass, he's still well known.

            Hearn and Froch aren't on the same page.
            Loeffler and GGG have always made it clear that GGG would fight at 168, not at a catchweight and that Golovkin considered it to be a question of respect for his opponent not to request a catchweight. Froch is full of SHIT.

              degale will potentially win the early rounds,
              that does depend on the way froch starts because he can be a bit of a slow starter,
              but if degale gasses the way he did against dirrell,
              froch will knock him out no doubt about it...

                  You should bring up his name whenever possible when talking to people in public even if the conversation has nothing to do with him, much like you do here. It'll bring some more exposure to his name. Probably won't do much, but it's a start. But hey, with how much you talk about him, who knows.

                    That probably. DeGale fight suits Hearn better. In-house bout, he wins regardless. Froch always seemed keen on the GGG bout, Hearn not so much.

                    Regardless of who he fights, Froch could really do with a tune-up.

                      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.
