Carl Froch and George Groves rematch is heading for Wembley Stadium

[smashup]

Yeah the weather could be an issue but with the money this would genetate how hard would it be to to erect a huge canopy over the ring apron and pitch seats?

Cardiff would be less of a headache though and could still take 50 thousand Fans.

I'm just glad the fight is going ahead. No messing around from Groves this time out, just box his head off and do a Lacy on him. No need to stop him, but show the gulf in class that there obviously is.

Groves could win this easily if he boxes smartly and doesn't get drawn into a brawl. I think last time he thought he had to outfight Froch or he'd lose it on the cards. This fight is going to be so scrutinised and such an event that he can safely outbox Froch, not start trading with him and win on points.

Unless following the reffing controversy we get a judging controversy and the possibility of a third huge payday.

If they fill the stadium that does show that boxing does not need mainstream TV. I would be surprised it will fill the stadium that large.

Wembley confirmed.

80,000 punters seems a bit of a stretch. If they pull it off it'll look amazing what with Sky's cameras, razzmatazz and whatnot. 57,000 for Hatton-Lazcano is the post war record. They'll smash that.

You can't erect a huge canopy to cover pitch seats because it would block the stands. If it rains you're getting wet.

Not a fan of stadium fights, loses something for me as opposed to an arena or smaller venue fight.

Defo one to watch on TV and make a night of it - though I hoipe Froch does him early and shuts him up.

Industrial strength cling film is the way and see through

Needs a cracking undercard and I think Hearns gonna use the whole stable here.

Joshuas nailed on to fight and will bring the punters and theres loads of talent he can showcase imo.

This is live on HBO too so Joshua needs a decent opponent and its a perfect spectacle for Matchroom to flex their muscles and showcase to the entire planet.

Just spoke to my bruv and he's coming over for this.

I think this can sell out easily and what a fucking night this will be.

This is on my doorstep too so double happy and gonna be shitloads of my mates going too

Already buzzing about this and its just what the UK scene needs.

Respect to Eddie Hearn for going for Wembley.

Cant wait.

If HBO will they have to fight at silly o'clock ??


Isn't there a wembley curfew ?
