Froch: I'll Quit Super Six if Abraham Fight is in Germany - Boxing News

As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, Arthur Abraham is confident the fight with Carl Froch, set for August 21, will head off to Germany. Froch says there is a pre-existing agreement to stage the fight in the UK, and if he's forced to fight Abraham in Germany, then he will quit Showtime's tournament, the Super Six Boxing Classic.

"I am adamant that the next fight, with Arthur Abraham, will be taking place in Britain. I won't be fighting in Germany, it's as simple as that," Froch told PA Sport. "It would mean me pulling out of the tournament if they forced me to fight in Berlin. So I want to get that straight from the start: it has already been agreed that I would fight at home, fight away and a fight back at home. It has been agreed with Ken Hershman at Showtime."

"So my fight with Abraham is in England or the fight is not happening and will make a mockery of the tournament. It's as simple as that."

Froch traveled to Denmark and lost a twelve round decision, and the WBC super middleweight title, on Saturday night to Mikkel Kessler. Now Froch is preparing to beat Abraham to secure a spot in the Super Six semi-finals.

"As the Super Six World Boxing Classic rolls on and gets more interesting, a win against Abraham puts me in the semi-final and then there is the final. I can still be undisputed champion in my next three fights, let's not forget that. This fight is going to make me stronger, better and more determined," Froch said.

If this is correct then he has to fight in England if not then if where the most money is, but come on as if Froch will quit, where the fuck would he go??

Fight Bute in Canada? What is the point in that there is to much reward for to Froch to quit, I think if there is no contract then this will end up in Germany as Abraham creates more money in Germany and lets have it right Fat Mick is a waste of space.

For someone who is confident about knocking someone out every time he steps in the ring, he really is making a fuss. Is he not confident he can knock Abraham out?

[ono]

Can't blame him really. He'll get fuck all in Germany, but at the same time Abraham will get nothing in England.

Exactly. Abs has to look no further than Mab - Khan to see just how dodgy this country can be and Carl can look at Reid vs Otke. If they cant agree they should go to purse bids or neutral location. Froch pulling out would be embarassing for his career and make a mockery of the tourrnament cuz Bika is not a worthy replacement.

Then again Taylor was 1st to quit Carl may be the second. They are dropping like flies. The last man standing will deserve it.

Oh please let him fight Lucian Bute, i'd love to see Bilbo's reaction. When he totally destroys Carl Froch.

Agreed. Froch would look like absolute GARBAGE against a south paw slickster.

[Drago]

at first i agreed with froch that if he had been told the fight with AA was in england then they should stand by it but in all honesty i agree with most of everyones posts here that now he aint champ he aint really got a leg to stand on, if he quiots this tournament he would have to move upto light heavy as everyone is tied up in SM's.

Froch is now asking for a million quid extra to go to Berlin but according to boxing scene the contract he signed rules out any extra payment.

Also.

Froch can't withdraw from the SS or he'll face legal action/financial penalties.

And neither fighter can be forced to fight in each other's home country so Sauerland are currently talking about a neutral country. However they'd be throwing away over a million quid by doing so. There's also the possibility that the German TV company that have a deal with Sauerland will "demand" the fight is held in Germany. If Froch wants to make the most money he can from the fight he's going to have to go to Berlin.

Exactly, he's got nowhere else to go if he leaves. Doubt Bute would got to Nottingham.

...Always gotta be one in the crowd...The tourney is set up fairly so everyone gets a HT advantage.....Right now he is still licking his wounds from his first loss that is expected he will change his mind i am sure...

He is an ass but he is also a true fighter at heart

He'll quit ??!!! Lol !!! Take your overrated ass on then, don't even bother to stop and close the door on your way out. If the fight was in froch's own living room abraham would beat his ass anyway. I don't know about overseas but here in america nobody will miss him, most didn't even know he was in the tourny anyway. I'll quit...lol !!!! This guy is starting to sound like one of my kids....i'm sick i don't wanna fight, it's not where i want it i don't wanna fight. My car is scratched i don't wanna fight, I could've taken him out, i shoulda, coulda, woulda, whaaa whaaaaa. Give me a freakin break. You sure didn't mind taking advantage of a green direll in england in a fight most think he lost anyway. I'm growing tired of this guy already

[Master]

AA brings the crowd and the money but Froch will get screwed in Germany.

Did you catch the last Showtime fight camp? Where his car was getting vandalized and he said it must be Calzaghe fans ha ha ha...I know he was kidding but it was actually funny...

Froch comes off as a tool on TV but IMO he is probably a decent guy the kind you would call to hang with watch football etc...I really don't think he is as arrogant as they make him out to be,...Though at press confrences I have been to with him he is a tool....But after the conference to talk with him he is a gentleman hard guy to figure out

[ono]

I know. It annoys me how he's been willing to fight in other guys backyards. It annoys me how 3 of his last 4 fights have been Fight of the Year candidates. It annoys me how his last 4 opponents have been top quality. I wish he'd fuck off. Boxing doesn't need this.
