DeGale should just focus on Andre Dirrell for now and stop trying to buy his way out of that fight. He's already 0-2 vs Groves, but he also knows he doesn't make more money anywhere else than being George's sparring partner.

personally i think he values being world champion more than money and knows his limitations. he figures if he gets knocked out by anthony dirrell and degale beats andre, he can get a fourth (!) title shot just because degale wants to avenge that loss so bad he would still make the fight.
just my opinion though. it wont matter though, i dont see groves beating any titleholder (nor do is see degale beating andre dirrell).
Plus, if he loses to Anthony Dirrell and DeGale wins, the fight would lose a lot of lustre and he'd get offered peanuts compared to this so it probably wouldn't happen.

When Brook beat Robbles or Saldivia, in the post presser Hearn was offering Khan 2 million to fight Brook and was saying its the highest he'd ever make. Look at the situation now, Khan can make up to 9m fighting Brook now in Wembley. Secondly, Groves hates Hearn and doesn't want him to get his way, so he's basically trying to make his job difficult because Hearn has promised SKY big ppv fights and he has none so far for the summer.

If Groves beats Antony D and DeGale loses to Andre D, Groves will be in a better bargaining position to dictate terms, it'll be DeGale presiding over offers from Sauerland then as it should be, last I checked Groves held a win over DeGale.

DeGale-Dirrell is a far more compelling matchup than a rematch with Groves at this point. Groves has looked like a clubfighter in his last two outings.
