Froch says he would rather retire than fight Degale - So what is Froch gonna do next?

[erics44]

id like to see him fight degale, and it would probably be for big money but I don't blame him for what hes saying

I don't see a Degale fight generating that much money at all...he was fighting in sports halls only last year

If Degale won a belt then slightly different story but it would have to be in England that fight and again Froch is now only banging on about the US even though he said he'd love to fight at Nottingham Forests ground, maybe that dream has gone now he's filled Wembley Stadium with nearly 80,000 punters

I dunno, I reckon he'd get more for degale than he would for chavez


I understand why hed rather fight chavez tho

Really... Why?

I just don't see how Degale generates £$£$£

Don't get me wrong i think it would be a decent fight but Degale at present has fuck all fan base because he carries himself as an arrogant cunt and to be honest only looked good in his last fight.

Froch needs a big one for his swansong - Degale is not it

Has to be Vegas. Has to be

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I make him right. DeGale is not worth a fight. Not yet.

Chavez all day long.

just the domestic side of things


froch v degale would generate enough interest


might not fill Wembley but would fill the city ground at least id say


degale might not get too many fans for his lesser fights but hes still a well known name


might be wrong tho

Incorrect. He'd make significantly more money against Junior in Vegas. Sure, ticket sales for Froch in England will be better than for a fight against DeGale or Junior here, but the American PPV money that a fight would generate would trump all that. Plus, it's a fight in Vegas. Froch has fought all over the world, but not yet Vegas. I bet he'd get a good number of Brits to Vegas for the fight too, maybe 4-5k.

If Froch versus Junior is made, I'm flying to Vegas to see it. Sounds like too much fun to miss.

If Froch wants to fight in Vegas then Junior, Ward, Kessler and GGG should be good options.

Master,

I think your previous post may have been a revelation about the money involved in the last fight Groves-Froch. Froch got 8 million and Groves got 2!

Look at those figures with a cynical eye!

1. Howard Foster cost George Groves 6 million quid! Groves was robbed of the original fight and should have been defending champion in the rematch.
2. There is not a fight to be made that includes James De Gale that makes 1 million let alone 10!
3. Chavez wants none of it because Froch wont sell well on US PPV, and Chavez will probably get beat.
4. The most 'retirement' money Froch could make would be a rematch with Groves, this could yet happen.

On balance I think if Froch cant get what amounts to an easy fight against Chavez he will probably retire, good luck to him. He would have had in his time an easy win for big money against Calslappy, he wasnt given that chance but GG gave him the big money chance in their rematch, so retirement fund already sorted Goodnight Eileen.

I think Froch wants to achieve his life long ambitions and fighting in Vegas may be one of them. Has he ever fought at MSG? If he had his way I am sure he would want a rubber match with Kessler and to avenge his loss against Ward. I also think he fancies winning a final fight at light heavy to cement his legacy which he loves.
