Seems FROCH wants to fight and Taylor does'nt

[Fenster]

For fucks sake i thought these boring cunts had quashed this fight last week?

Taylor clearly don't want it. Froch is clearly a nobody in America.

Surely Taylor ain't the ONLY name in the world the WBC champ can face?

hahaha loving the sig note
Shame if this don't happen but the offer made to Froch is nearly as silly VD's (imaginary) friend claiming they both banged some porn stars in the "off Topic" board
Taylor imo is running scared and knows full well he's on a downer after Carl batters him

fuck off you james.


Taylors mob have constantly said they're not interested in the fight. Froch's mob are acting like Taylor is the ONLY fight on earth that means anything to him.

this fight needs to happen cos i cant take yrs of people posting taylor ran oh wait froch never really wanted it oh no taylor is the man oh wait froch is champ

I want this fight to happen because it will show us how good Froch really is and it will show us how much JT still has in the tank.

JT has a right to demand more money than Froch because he is the bigger name especially in the states. But, I can agree that 70-30 may be too high. Then again, Jermain doesn't need this fight as much as Froch needs it because many more world-class opponents want to fight him. Jermain on Froch's cd means more than Froch on Jermain's. Thus, if anyone has reason to compromise and be accomodating, it is Froch.

Why doesnt Froch just stay busy. Plenty of guys at 168 who are decent and would travel. Bika, Miranda, Andrade. All those guys deserve a shot at a belt more than Froch ever did anyway.

I feel he keeps calling out Taylor cos he knows Jermain isnt interested, he is not really looking for a big fight but just giving the perception he is. I see a number of low ranked duds in Frochs future. He wont take on anyone remotely dangerous.

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.

Not true.

Per WBC Rule 2.12(d): "Notwithstanding the terms of subparagraphs a), b) and c) above, the Board of Governors may, in its discretion and by a majority vote, modify the division of purse offer proceeds between boxers in a purse offer in unusual or special cases, like the consideration of the outstanding marketing value of one of the boxers. The modification of the split will be limited to three categories: 70-30%; 60-40%; and 55-45% for the Champion and challenger, respectively, except in the most exceptional circumstances, in which the split may be modified to 50-50%."

I'm sure Dibella and Froch's promoter could convincingly make the argument it was an "unusual case."

Can you explain why?

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