Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Reacts To Froch-DeGale, Weight Claim

"The economics are just not the same"

Perhaps though not sure, Froch GGG is a fight with global interest. But if so, Froch should just leave it at that, not lie about catchweight requests from Ggg. Its unbecoming, and makes him look even more shook

Froch wouldn't lie about it. He's not that kind of bloke and there would be no point lying about something as easily refuted as this anyway. Somebody has got their wires crossed somewhere, that' all.

It's not really though, it's a regular HBO fight just like Froch-DeGale would probably be.

Loeffler lied when he said it was HBO PPV, it's unbecoming and makes him look even more desperate.

He also lied when he said he would try and fight Lara. Seems like a theme in the GGG camp.

Enough of this economics rubbish. Golovkin brings more money to the table for Froch than DeGale.

Froch made the same purse for the Kessler rematch ($6mill) as his did for the first Groves fight ($6mill). Both shows had about 20k people. The potential increase DeGale brings in the gate & UK ppv buys would be more than offset by HBO's contribution with Golovkin. Additionally Golovkin has a stronger market presence in Germany, Russia, Eastern Europe, Africa, South Korea and Khazakstan.

*S I G H* How hard is it to get these SUPPOSED "MALES" inside a ring with Golovkin? Gennady is single handedly exposing the male gender as nothing but scared cowards. Seriously, this is going beyond boxing now. Gennady is exposing our race as humans to be weak. Why do you think UFOs don't come here or reveal themselves? We'd go coward away in caves like our ancestors. There is nothing interesting to learn from humans, we are a dumb idiotic ******ed race afraid of everything. Only a few of us stand out like me and Gennady.

I'M DYING

You're an idiot, nothing new. Get this, Froch is Wards best win and he didn't have to go up in weight or travel to the UK to face him. GGG is willing to do both, still not enough for Froch

Could you imagine Ward moving up to 175 to fight Kovalev in Russia?

In which article does Froch say he was asked for a CW?

Apparently it was an interview that Froch gave to Steve Bunce via ESPN.co.uk and which was reported on their web site. Now it seems that it has been completely debunked with even Hearn seemingly taking a shot at Froch by saying “He also said he cut down trees in preparation for the Groves fight.”.

Time for Froch to come clean.

I don't care what either man says, GGG doesn't want to move up to 168 to be held, clinched, and head butt all night long.

And Ward doesn't want to be KTFO by a middle weight.

Bingo! GGG is avoiding a stinker; and Ward don't want his ass on the canvas.

It's a risk and reward scenario. If you think he's really 'scared' of Ward, you are clueless.

Oh, but Froch is really scared of GGG right? It's also a risk/reward scenario, but I'm sure you don't care about that in this instance.
