How are the next fights not set in stone? I thought it was Froch v. Kessler, Abraham v. Dirrell, and Ward v. Taylor (Allan Green).
Line ups have been agred in principle, but purses and venues haven't been signed. Froch Kessler should be in Denmark, but Froch's team claim they're still trying to take it to Nottingham.
You do get the feeling that Froch thinks very much that he is the competitions true star.

Comparing his performance against Dirrell to Abraham's against Taylor I'd imagine the bargaining power mostly lies with King Artur when they fight, third round I believe.

Regarding Kessler maybe Froch is now bigger in the US and his uk fanbase might be bigger than Kessler's Danish one (but I don't know, I'm not very knowledgeble of the Scandinavian countries, but I imagine Denmark's population is considerably smaller than Britians?).

If Froch goes to Denmark he needs a knockout, which let's face it he is highly highly unlikely to get.

Also based on his last two performances he can't really be pleased, surely if I was him my confidence would be pretty low in terms of how I could do in this tournament.

Comparing him to Kessler and Abraham I think he is overmatched in every category except arrogance.

He may find a way to get out of the tournament yet methinks......
