    That's a huge amount and i think he should (if Froch wins that is)..
    If Froch can look good then i think JC will be hard pushed to turn such an offer down, i could see Calzaghe struggling with Froch's style too.
    Would love too see this!!
    Froch has gotta look good against Pascal though

    It's a bs offer. The gross from the fight would be five million max which means the promoter would be putting the show on for free and Froch would be fighting for free. I hope Calzaghe accepts it just to embarrass the fat little prick who made it.

    I think there's a really good chance of this fight happening.If only Froch and Calzaghe win in their next fights.Im 100% sure Froch will call out Calzaghe if he wins against Pascal.I can imagine Calzaghe watching the Froch vs Pascal fight and thinking,"Hmmm,Froch calling me out in front of the world on Live t.v and having a pay cheque of £5million up for grabs!!""I'll have some of that"

    This fight really could geniunely happen!Remember Calzaghe saying he would have fought Pavlik if Pavlik beat Hopkins,but after Pavlik got beat and was'nt undefeated anymore he changed his mind and said"Theirs nobody else good enough to fight anymore after he fights Jones!"Well he has the right opponant in front of him if their both(Froch&Calzaghe)remain undefeated in their next up and coming fights.All Froch has to do is beat Pascal and then call out Calzaghe straight away LIVE on t.v after the fight and the fight will be set!!!!!!!Trust me

    I think Froch'd promoter just said it to help sell tickets for the Pascal fight and with the knowledge that it won't be accepted. Froch hasn't waited till he's 31 before stepping up to world class for no reason.

    No way they can raise that much. JC has said himself many times that money alone isn't motivation enough to train hard, and that he's lost interest recently. The way he came out against Hopkins (having actually cornered his stable mate 40 mins prior and looking totally cold in the first rounds) shows to me he's lost a lot of interest already, though staying unbeaten should be plenty of motivation.

    Like Fenster said, IF the offer is genuine then anything is possible, then you'd have to arrange a date where both sicknotes plan to be healthy.

    I think the offer is legit.

    Joe would rightfully be head and shoulders favourite - but Froch is a dangerous, strange boxer who Joe would need to wary of.

    He would need to his shots off and step out fast because Froch has stoppages with every shot in the book (hooks, straights, uppercuts, overhands - with both hands) and carries his power all the way through.

    I can visualise Froch coming out in round 8, having lost every round to that point throwing the kitchen sink at joe. If the welshman goes to toe at that point he loses, so would need to stick to boxing to the last.

    Counterpunchers are joe's achilles.

    Calzaghe versus Kessler earned both guys two million quid each but there was some reporting that they didn't get quite that much in the end. Frank Warren said he lost half a million on the promotion. HBO got a rubbish rating for that fight and would offer less for Calzaghe Froch, especially in the current economic climate. If they sold an extra 20000 tickets and filled the Millenium Stadium even at £50 a ticket (it'd be less than that) that's only a million. So it's hard to see how the promotion could even make Calzaghe's guarantee. It's just a publicity stunt.
