Froch to decide on Groves or Chavez Jr in next two weeks

[Beanz]

Carl Froch has two weeks to decide on next opponent; two names in the mix

“The Groves fight is the biggest financially, but I don’t think Carl feels he needs it. The public wants it but as far as he’s concerned he has beaten Groves,” Hearn said.
“I’ll put the options on the table and the fighter generally chooses the fight which is the biggest financially. I think deep down, Carl will want to do a job on George Groves before he retires because he doesn’t like him at all. The animosity is genuine.
“We’re already talking to venues about doing it at the end of May before the World Cup, but if it drags on in the negotiation process, George will look at other options.”

I know for fact Frochs dream is to fight in Vegas so I think he does that before a Groves rematch ( if that ever happens at all)

Don't see him risking facing Groves again before a Chavez fight.

Hope im wrong.

Hope he give groves a re match at this point I would pick Chavez jr to beat froch

[powerpuncher]

well im guessing he will see what happens in the chavez/vera fight first. if chavez wins, he fights chavez, if chavez loses, he fights groves.

Well the title of the thread says he'll decide before Chavez fights Vera. Meanwhile Groves is supposed to just hang about? I know its good money for Groves, but let's not forget it's only "Challenger Money" If I was Groves I would be lining up against one of the other Champs if I Could (Even Ward.) He beats Bika and Stieglitz and even though he loses to Ward, he would put up a decent show and it won't damage his career.
Then he can tell Froch to F**K off and keep ridiculing him for being a pussy coward hype job!

Agree .. Groves should start looking at other options asap.

Groves doesnt really have to do anything to force a rematch now.

Its all on Froch

Actually Groves is still without a promotion team , he's had offers from Golden boy, Warren etc.

[Beanflicker]

My money is on Chavez Jr.

They're just stringing it out to keep it in the headlines.

How can you commit to Chavez jr when he's fighting in March? What happens if he loses or gets injured or what not. You've just fucked off a guaranteed humongous payday.

Froch-Groves is the biggest money fight by miles and a doddle to make. Do you think Hearn wants to give up the chance of promoting "the biggest fight in British history" over being a bit part player on a Top Rank show in Vegas?

Froch has gotta be under serious pressure now and his head must be Spinning with self doubt... he's gone seriously quiet all of a sudden too...

He's getting it from his own promoter, Groves is fucking relentless and gets his answer from the IBF in about a week following him presenting a "case" to them to force Froch to have a rematch.
95% of internet fight sites threads and articles want the rematch and obviously so do Sky.

Like I said it really is all on Froch now who will get hammered from all angles if he choses to swerve this.

Id love it if the IBF order a rematch and after reading that sanctioning link you posted maybe they will $$$$$

Chavez Jr is made for Froch, 6 rounds drubbing Jr on his back , Groves well that's a different
story, George wins the rematch.

[Kirkland Laing]

If Froch dodges Groves it'll just add to the list of fights he's bottled or tried to weasel out of when he thought he might lose.

The IBF announce the verdict on 25th Jan.

Froch would look a total cunt if he chose to dump the belt and swerve Groves in light of that

[Master]

Froch will want Chavez for the money and avoiding Groves, in that order. Business.
