However, you're looking at this from the point of view that Froch is better off not accepting Taylor's terms. Regardless of whether Taylor gets the better of Froch in the purse, if Froch beats Taylor, his stock will rise astronomically. If he is so confident he'll win, why not negotiate to the aforementioned amounts or take the 700k? He'll come away with huge income potential for his next fights and huge leverage in negotiations. On the way up, a fighter needs to sacrifice a little to get a lot.
No i'm not. I couldn't care less if they fought for a pint of beer, or Taylor got all the money and Froch nothing.

I'm interested in what a "realsitic" amount of money is for Froch. How much did he get for the Pascal fight?

60-40/50-50 is miles from what Taylor is demanding. The article says - Froch was being offered $650,000 to fight in the United States, with Taylor set to take home $1.6 million.
Yeah basically this ridiculous offer is Taylor's people saying fuck off, we don't want to fight you. Whether that's because they think he'll lose or whether there are more attractive options elsewhere is another thing. I would guess about an 80/20 or 90/10 split there favouring the more attractive options versus the risk.

Yes. It's all very well saying Froch should accept ANY offer but that's clearly not reality.

First off, no-one can answer what a realistic number is for Froch to take.

Secondly, Taylor's mob know Froch's mob aren't going to take a split that greatly favours the challenger in his own backyard.

Ive read/heard even US reporters saying Team Taylor don't want this fight.
