Good to see Broner lose. Hypejob twat.

Well worth staying up for that one, i thought Broner would win on points but Maidana boxed really well and gave him the shock of his life. He was close to stopping him before the headbutt incident which Broner milked to his advantage to get some much needed recovery time.

 

Had referee Cole done his job properly the margin would have been even greater, Broner was frequently throwing elbows, forearms and pushing.

 

Here's the fight for those that missed it.

Froch on SSN saying he's fighting Chevez jnr next then a re match with groves is on the card afterwards.

 

Didn't realise Cleverly had pulled out of his bout on march 1st due to injury...

Cotto and Martinez will hopefully be facing each other a month after the Froch proposed rematch. Lot's of good fights to look forward to as ever.

Taking a fight nobody cares about to avoid his just desserts; strange behaviour for an international superstar warrior. 

 

At least Chavez has given a rematch for his robbery.

My thoughts exactly maarsh.

 

Acted the right cunt on SSN then.

 

Ballooning about what his fans want is more important than what UK boxing fans want,accusing Groves of being petulant etc when it's himself he needs to look at when banding that word about.

 

The guy has gone massively down in my estimation over the past year.

 

He should have agreed a rematch straight after the last fight and put any doubts to bed in the ring.

 

He can get fucked for me.

"There has been plenty of speculation over the last few weeks regarding my future. As it stands we are looking closely at two options George Groves and Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr. Yesterday, we made a seven figure offer to George Groves for a second fight that would have seen him earn around double that of the first. Disappointingly, George rejected this offer so we are continuing our talks with Top Rank and HBO regarding Chavez Jnr. I understand the demand for the Groves fight in the UK, but also the demand in the US for the Chavez fight. Talks are on-going and no doubt some further news will break soon. I’m happy to fight anyone, as I have done throughout my entire career."

Mard-arsed big-nosed cunt.

IBF have since ordered an immediate rematch!

Just read that Tyson Fury is fighting on the Chisora undercard against a 40 year old whos lost 8 

i hope froch does groves some damage

Is it wrong of me to want them both to get quite badly hurt?

It will be the biggest british fight of my lifetime

 

so fucking excited

 

it will be 80k wembley

 

can you imagine that

Quite true Garrpo.

 

I was a bit too young for the Eubank Ben showdowns etc.

 

Well done the IBF

hope froch twats him, can't stand the smarmy cockney wanker

hope froch twats him, can't stand the smarmy cockney wanker

 

glad its not just me then

 

one less than perfect night for froch isn't enough to turn me off him

 

and groves is one erm, aye, you nailed it

I was team Froch for the first fight, but definately team Groves for this one, though Froch is a tough nut I dont think he has much boxing skill and I can see  a very similar fight to last time with Groves holding on for a points win.

Nice to see the IBF explicitly blamed the ref - fucking awful decision, hope they strike him off.

So in short, they offered Groves less than the IBF mandatory purse, the day before a public announcement was made (i.e., they already knew) which entitled Groves to much more, and tried to suggest this meant Groves didn't want the fight.

 

What a warrior.

 

Hopefully Eddie can get his bruised ego to sign a contract; still not convinced we won't see some pathetic maneuverings so Carl can give his 'fans what they want'.

The way I've heard it is that groves was offered 25% of the purse but he didn't like the terms, now the IBF have said that they have to rematch on IBF terms he's only entitled to 15%

no

 

he was offered somewhere between 15% and 25%

 

a bigger percentage than in the first fight which was 15%.

After this goes to purse bids, the pot will get big enough he'll be doing fine, and he won't be tied to a rematch and multi-fight matchroom contract.

 

And I've heard some saying it was a £1m offer with Froch getting £5m, and others saying £1m and £3m, so it's all guessing. Only reality is that now he's going the mandatory route, he doesn't have to get tied in beyond 1 fight, which is a much bigger deal when you're the hottest property in the division in the medium term.

no

Given they apparently offered a flat fee sterling figure, the percentages are guess-work. If this really is an 80,000 Wembley job with PPV on top, it's going to be grossing plenty more.

No they didn't offer a flat fee

 

They offered a fixed percentage somewhere between 15% and 25% with a minimum guarantee of a million.

 

Stop guessing.
