Seems FROCH wants to fight and Taylor does'nt

[Rantcatrat]

Taylor's team was interested, but business is business. Taylor is a far bigger name than Froch and therefore deserves the lion's share of the purse. Plus, HBO was not interested in the fight. I think Showtime expressed an interest, but Froch's team is not being realistic on the money. If it goes to a purse bid, the fight won't happen because per WBC rules their champion is entitled to a 70-30 split.

Can you explain why?

What type of figure is realistic for Froch to fight in the states? Considering he is the champion

60-40 Taylor or 50-50.

However, you're looking at this from the point of view that Froch is better off not accepting Taylor's terms. Regardless of whether Taylor gets the better of Froch in the purse, if Froch beats Taylor, his stock will rise astronomically. If he is so confident he'll win, why not negotiate to the aforementioned amounts or take the 700k? He'll come away with huge income potential for his next fights and huge leverage in negotiations. On the way up, a fighter needs to sacrifice a little to get a lot.
