I can't believe that. Groves resorted to contacting the IBF to force a rematch, why the fack would he turn it down? Especially for that kind of money. Froch is talking out of his backside.

don't* believe that

its most likely cos the 7 figure offer he was offered was something like a 80/20 or a 70/30 split and he wants and deserves close to 50/50.

possibly

"We made a seven figure offer for a second fight that would have seen him earn around double that of the first. Disappointingly, George rejected this offer."

Well if Carl Froch said it then it must be true . FFS

I hadn't initially realised it was deluded Carl who said it. He's defo talking from of his backside

D4, dan_cov has decided to leave NSB, volunteer to take over the predo league? Or is it too much work?

So the IBF have called for a rematch between Froch and Groves after Groves took the issue to a hearing last week. So that means that Froch will have to face Groves now or relinquish his world title. Either way Groves has got a shot at the IBF crown.

Groves on twitter:
Oh Dear! IBF order IMMEDIATE rematch with me and @Carl_Froch ... Maybe I was right after all turning down that 'amazing' 7 figure offer haha

Damn!!! Why he did that?

I am considering it, but considering the amount of times I get banned over there I not sure it will work out.

dunno D4, he had a little fit earlier, it looks like the mods have taken the thread down. He said he wants to leave posted a thread asking for the Admins/mods to terminate his account.

You should do it. if you're running the league perhaps the mods will think twice before banning you, it's kind of like an immunity

I ran it before on there, and I got banned and it ruined a lot of the season.

I got banned for saying the happiness and welfare of it citiezens is more important to define a countries greatness than it's technological or wealth status.

I think Froch may take the Mayweather route and vacate the IBF title.

what does this mean now

does this give groves more leverage in purse negotiations now that ibf have ordered a rematch?

I think they can be a purse bid, where the IBF decides the split.

But Froch is likely to Floyd the rematch and vacate.

Because the IBF have called for a rematch, the split would be 85/15 in favour of the champion. Yesterday Groves was offered 25% and rejected. . He proper got ripped off but atleast he's got a definite shot.

Groves was on Ssn just now saying that the offer yesterday had too many options so he'd rather take less money with no options now as mandatory. Hearn and froch playing the pr game to a t.

yeah just seen that. fair play to him.

Knew Froch was talking shi.t

Complete and utter coward. Hope he gets facking smashed up again.

Froch will pull a Floyd, vacate and claim he looking for big fights now

kamran

exactly what have you got against froch apart from the fact he beat groves -

see if you can give a logical sensible answer instead of your usual juvenile replys of complete bollox
