Comments Thread For: Hearn: Carl Froch's Realistic Options - Golovkin, DeGale

[Dirk Diggler UK]

He didn't just say most lucrative, but by far. I get what you're saying, but something is off with Degale. Apparently noone cares about him, if he has to take his title to adopted hometown of washed up Bute. Ggg Otoh is a global attraction

Bute is a bigger star in Canada and more proven ticket seller than DeGale in the UK.

But obviously when matched against a fellow Brit, especially Froch or previously Groves, more British fans will care about those fights.

No one really cares about Golovkin here at all.

GGG being a global attraction wasn't reflected in his PPV numbers in the US or his viewing figures in the UK.

You think Ggg whitewashes Froch or knocks him out in no time? I think he probably knocks him out in a crowd pleaser but it won't be that easy, and its risky

No I actually think Froch exposes him like he did Bute .Lets not forget he hasn't been proven at 168

It's not obvious to bs UK editor, he says Ggg by far. It's all about Froch anyway, he's selling the tickets and uk ppvs. You'd think savvy Brit marketers would find a way to sell him vs global sta, with much momentum, in the running for p4p #1 (would Froch win do it?). But intriguingly smaller and unproven and on Froch home turf.

Listen, Froch vs GGG would be a bigger fight and do more PPVs in the UK for sure. Don't even argue with that because you'll look like a fool.

Would HBO put Froch v GGG in the UK on HBO PPV? Then it could out-do the Degale fight.

Otherwise, not a chance.

So why do you troll so much with "Ggg doesn't challenge himself"? He's been asking for this fight for over a year, and you're saying he's got no chance. Wtf?

I would rather see Froch-DeGale

Then lets do both, the two most lucrative fights. Froch is not coming out of retirement for a one off vs Degale. He's a HOF, but no p4p scalps. If he can't get past Degale he's got no business in the ring with Ggg anyway.

Forget DeGale, he is ordinary and has no fans

Froch v GGG would be one of 2016 Biggest Fights
The Cobra wanted his big Vegas fight . . . Well here you are

So why did DeGale do better ratings on Channel 5 fighting in shopping centres against bums than GGG vs Murray for the world title?

I'm talking facts and figures here, not opinions.

Maybe cause nobody really cared about Murray or gave him much of a chance. They care about Froch though, and you gotta give him a chance
