Comments Thread For: Froch: Why Not Give DeGale a Pasting Next Spring!

[ukbox]

You are just a little bit emotionally involved it seems. Maybe too much?

I just posted some facts and number for you and all you can do is come up with some weird insults. Gay? Wow.. that hurts man.

Who made these polls? Your beloved Carl Froch on his own facebook site.

So all of 350.000 Froch facebook fans are gay online bloggers who wouldnt travel to the UK. Interesting assessment.

A little ****phobic twat sitting in his basement day and night insulting people on a website that became his life.

Haha perfect picture

I do take all that into account which is why Froch-DeGale is bigger than Froch-GGG in the UK.

Duh. You're just making the argument stronger.

Are HBO going to run an afternoon PPV?

Idk. Maybe they do, or maybe they put the brits on US time like Calzaghe/Lacy.

Ahaha

The part you should highlight there is where Loeffler says...

"I’m not sure if it would be as much as Froch made against George Groves, because Golovkin would obviously be looking to get a bigger cut of the loot."

So why would Froch fight Golovkin for less than what he got against Groves?

Not the best predictor in the world, but here's Google's Interest over Time with the locations restricted to the UK:



And here's worldwide:

Golovkin... Froch in the UK:


Froch... DeGale in the UK:

You can't fight at Wembley or in a UK Stadium at 4 in the morning.

And it would significantly decrease UK PPV buys staging it at that time.

I'm not making it an any stronger case than it already is. DeGale should be more popular than he is, but he's not. It's why DeGale & Hearn would bend over backwards to get another fight with Groves.

If Golovkin/Murray had taken place in the UK we wouldn't even be having this conversation right now. If Lee beats Saunders, and Lee/Golovkin happens early next year in the UK, it won't even be a comparison. And that's if DeGale gets by Bute. UK fight fans will take to Golovkin, where as they've already passed on DeGale.

No one cares about Andy Lee over here. That's why they've moved his fight with Saunders 3 times. He couldn't even shift tickets in Ireland in his hometown of Limerick. If they do Lee-Golovkin in the UK, it will bomb.

DeGale is gaining momentum with UK fans actually. He was booed heavily on his pro debut and most didn't like him for his antics in the Groves fight but he was cheered loudly on his last appearance at a UK show.

Again, I do live here. I would rather see GGG-Froch personally but I'm giving you a wider context.

I'm with Dirk on this one.

Froch-Degale will be bigger than Froch-GGG. In house fights are very popular.

[Ham Porter]

DeGale the fight fans want? DeGale the bigger draw?

I mean look at the top comments, its funny.



And then GGG



Its pretty clear what the fans want to see.

This is all you need to see to see how genuine Froch is about fighting again. He's a shameless attention whore.

[alexguiness]

Froch / Degale would be massive in the UK, maybe even bigger than the Groves II fight.

These types of domestic fight are not that common but when they are made, you don't really need the USD.

Froch would spank Degale at Wembely, in front of 80,000 fans.

Sweet.
