I read about this.

I can't figure out if its 4 actual fights hes to have or he's been offered 4 super fights and he needs to pick one of em?

I think Froch v Groves would be good, groves is a good fighter and I like his style.

Pretty sure it's just any one of the 4 HBO are saying they would put up the cash for, in other words Froch is in a pretty damn good way right now to wind down his career. I'm sure a rubber match with Kessler would still be the biggest sell, I don't think there's all that much point myself though. Mikkel left everything he had in the ring after looking pretty shaky in the early rounds of the rematch, I can't see him doing any better in another go.

Probably a stupid question, but I can't think of any HBO cards happening outside of North America lately or ever.. Anyone? Obviously these fights aren't going to happen in the states unless its a Ward rematch.

id like to see froch fight everyone mentioned by both hbo and hearn

id also like to see him fight martin murray

[Vendettos]

He said before Kessler he'd only have maybe 2 more fights.

I think he should fight Ward then hand the touch over by fighting Groves.


I mean it is hypocritical if he doesn't after how much he spewed about Joe Calzaghe all them years back.

[erics44]

groves could fight kessler and then froch the winner?

HBO showed Froch-Kessler live then repeated it primetime. It got a combined audience of just over a million, which apparently they were pleased with.

It's a shame that GGG is really only a MW.

Out of that list id go for Chavez, go to America get loads of exposure, good payday, pretty easy win etc.

I know golo is willing to go to super middle to make the big fights, but really he needs to stay at middle his not a huge middle or anything. As much as I like jess I don't think he has it anymore to go 12hard rounds as would be required to beat froch, but hell who knows first two were hella fun so wouldn't mind seeing it.

I'd love Froch to take a fight in Vegas later on in the year cus I need an excuse to go to Vegas with the lads!!

Do you think as many Brits that followed Hatton to Vegas would follow Froch? I'm thinking he's getting to that stage now.

[DavilaJones]

Arum doesn't really need them because all of the sudden the Chinese Market seems sexy as hell to him now. Not to mention the Chinese loooooove to gamble, I mean Macau is far bigger than Vegas when it comes to gambling revenue.

Gambling+corruption+Arum+= Profit.

Hatton was a phenom for that, Calzaghe drew over 55,000 to Cardiff milenium stadium, over 3 times as many that went to Froch v Kessler but even he didnt have as many travelling fans as Hatton, no where near in fact!

About Calzaghe v Hopkins...

BBC NEWS | UK | Wales | Viva Las Vegas for Calzaghe fans

"The build-up of Welsh rugby jerseys and proud beer paunches around town is slowly proceeding, but local taxi driver Jorge was surprised not to see more.
"For Ricky Hatton v Floyd Mayweather, the English [sic] were here all week, partying and drinking beer - it was crazy," said Jorge, who claims to have seen hundreds of big fights in his 40 years in Vegas. But where have they been this week? They weren't here. I think this fight will build Calzaghe's profile, maybe raise him up to the level of Hatton. That's my opinion of his standing, but as a boxer... yeah, he's good. Joe will win this one."
