January 25, 201412 yr 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.
January 25, 201412 yr Fair enough if you know the details. Still doesn't remotely change the reality that - i. Releasing a statement a few hours before the mandatory rematch becomes public can now be seen for the posturing it was. ii. Groves is now entitled to a rematch (or Froch vacates) without further clauses, subject to negotiations.

Releasing a statement a few hours before the mandatory rematch becomes public can now be seen for the posturing it was. ii. Groves is now entitled to a rematch (or Froch vacates) without further clauses, subject to negotiations. Why would they offer Groves more than than 15% if they already knew? Theres an interview on IFL TV that has Hearn receiving the phone call (informing him of the IBF decision) mid interview (talking about the offer).
January 25, 201412 yr Like any transaction, you are willing to pay more to receive more. Having options on Groves has an awful lot of value for Eddie, and a rematch clause would have some value for Froch. Carl seems far too keen to go make a fight with a middleweight. To be honest it wouldn't shock me if Groves didn't want the rematch as much as he says - there are easier title fights for him and his reputation has been made. Hard for anyway to walk away now without a major loss of face so hopefully it happens.

January 25, 201412 yr anyway, theres rumours that Khan is being outed in the Sunday papers tomorrow for ALLEGEDLY doing the marching powder and cheating on his wife.
January 25, 201412 yr anyway, theres rumours that Khan is being outed in the Sunday papers tomorrow for ALLEGEDLY doing the marching powder and cheating on his wife. Surely that would be scupper the potential fight with Mayweather. David Price has just won on his return, a first round KO against a poor opponent.

January 25, 201412 yr I wonder if thats the reason for the delay in announcing it? Good point, if that's the case it would be a very costly mistake wouldn't it. As much as i like Amir i did wonder about the Mayweather fight, when you look at the likes of Bradley and Garcia (for example) you could argue they would be more deserving of getting the fight based on their consistent showings against quality opponents over the last two years.

February 5, 201412 yr Author Brian Rose to get his title shot in the US http://m.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/sport/boxing/deal-agreed-for-rose-title-fight-1-6420132
February 8, 201412 yr A mate of mine is making his 4th pro fight tonight in Detroit from the kronk gym, good prospect super middle. A lad called Anthony Barnes, keep your eyes peeled. I was boozing with his mum and dad in Vegas when Ant and J'Leon Love signed with Kronk - Manny Steward came over personally to sign them up! Gone tits up and toes up for J'Leon and Manny since that day 5 years ago!
February 22, 201412 yr Some decent scraps on toneet I have just had a 7th round double on Tommy coyle and Hamilton. £5 pays £1950
