He's going to fight De Gale. The only thing holding the fight up is De Gale agreeing to take the ver y short end of the purse.

If that is true, I don't blame Degale. He's the champion, why should he take the short end?
With every day that goes by, Froch is less marketable and less relevant. It'll end up that Degale v Groves will make more money than Degale v Froch.
FROCH IS RETIRED!

Froch gave the title away.

This is one of the better fights in boxing if it happens. Unfortunately, I doubt it does. It seems like a lot of posturing by Froch.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Yeah I generally like Froch's dickheadedness but I'm not impressed by this at all. It's embarrassing.

Yes he did. So he deserves the bigger end of the wedge? He gave up that advantage with the title.
He started making the big money with the Groves fights , and let's be fair that was down to Groves as much as was him. He was the Champ and took 80-85% . He can't have it both ways.

Shame for Carl, he's left it too late to find another big money fight. Boxing wise Degale GGG and Groves again offer interesting 50/50 fights, Ward always beats him. Happy retirement talking Jim Watt type bollox.

I think Froch's loud mouth girlfriend (if they are still together) could distract GGG and let him land a big punch. It would be a good fight if Froch shakes off the ring rust. I'm interested and Calzaghe def was the one dodging if any of them were. Froch was a low reward high risk but it doesn't mean Calzaghe gets a pass for not fighting him. Calzaghe was fighting guys like Manfredo instead.

Froch maybe secretly holding out for Chavez Jr. If Jr wins his next fight I think for Froch it's the perfect fight to retire on.

Froch was offered the Calzaghe fight twice and bottled the opportunity both times.

Just as well really because Calzaghe would have handed Froch the same kind of beating he gave Lacy. Calzaghe was in a different league to Froch.

Froch was not in the radar of Joe who had just beaten 2 undefeated champions and then went on to fight 2 legends. Froch was not relevant and Joe would have out boxed him easily.
