Froch facing trip to Berlin to fight Abraham?

[0james0]

If Froch fights anywhere but Nottingham he will get knocked out.

This is where it gets messy as the fight is so important as the loser will probably be out.

Moneys on Berlin we all no what Fat Mick is like.

I'm hoping for Nottingham as I wanted to go to see this fight. Best just keep fingers crossed.

That would be a fair solution. I see nothing wrong with that. But where? The US would be sound, but is a long way for the fans to go for a neutral venue. Might prove tricky to work out.

There will be tough negotiations, should be solved maybe away fighter gets bigger slice of the purse. With the WBC/WBA belts tied up in the tourney dont think neither can afford to think of pulling out, especially Froch at his age. Tournaments been a great success so far IMO

[Nameless]

The belt lost sank away a lot of negotiation power away from Froch. IF there is the choice between a 5000 or a 10-15000 seaters, I think that it'll be a no brainer and business wise, as scary as Germany is for the results, it's the most viable option. If I was Fat Mick, I would say that I can negociate for Germany IF the 3 judges are all neutral (or at least not more than one from Germany) with a neutral referee in the ring. That would be my sine qua non condition. Not sure if the fatty can think and manage that though

Auf Wiedersehen Frochy!!! Abraham is gonna wear your ass out!!!

[Kirkland Laing]

Accoring to this the fat man only has a verbal agreement with Sauerland for the fight to be in Nottingham :

Carl Froch: count me out of Berlin bout - Times Online

Verbal agreements aren't worth the paper they're written on. Looks like it's off to Berlin for big nose.

Fraud is quoted as saying

"It has already been agreed that I would fight at home, fight away and a fight back at home. It has been agreed with Ken Hershman at Showtime."

Yeah something tells me Abraham has the same agreement. To Germany it is.
