"Froch vs Groves II Could Attract 60,000 Live Fans!" - Eddie Hearn

[F!x]

Eddie Hearn talks about Stevenson vs Bellew and the aftermath of the Froch vs Groves controversy. He says making the rematch is his priority while the main stumbling block he can foresee is how much of the purse split Groves demands.

Hearn believes the rematch could attract up to 60,000 live fans and he has been approached by a number of massive sports stadiums around the UK who are already expressing huge interest in hosting the, as yet, tentative and unconfirmed rematch.

60,000? Hell no. It would be a lucrative fight that I would like to see but I doubt they would sell 60,000 tickets.

That's Pea vs. Chavez Sr. at the Alamodome numbers.

Groves gets robbed.

[Tay Roc]

Run that **** back. Bring an American ref plz.

[kardsufur]

a shame cus I really wanted Froch to silence this dude but I know in the rematch Groves will probably KTFO Froch

[Hougigo]

Use the same ref too and piss of 60k people

[CraigM]

60,000 - actually I think that's possible with another big match on before it.

I mean Calzaghe vs Kessler got just over 50,000 in it and had a pretty crap Warren undercard on it.

This does rule Wembley out though...

[PrinceNaz88]

The first fight sold 20k tickets in 11 minutes. I have no doubt the rematch would sell 60k.

[MBE]

We need steve smoger for this one

[FrankieBruno]

I believe it

They better get a proper ref because if the fight is stopped again to save Froch, this time there will be a riot
