Biggest grossing outdoor boxing event of all time in UK

Due to the popularity of the boxer's, it won't come close to Hatton at City, Bruno at Wembley or Cooper at Wembley or Highbury

It will p!ss all over Bruno at Wembley. It's a different age now, tickets so much easier to get via the Internet, constant promotion by Sky. I think it could sell out anywhere.

Really? Bruno was known by everyone, who'd seen fights, interviews, knew his personality. It I mention Froch and Groves to normal people it's "aren't they some boxers?"

I agree, the rematch would be bigger than Bruno fight. It is different nowadays with PR and getting profiles bigger through social media, so although both men may not be household names like Bruno, the promoters can promote the fight better and bigger than before

There wasn't many more at Bruno-McCall than there was last week. Millions watched Big Frank on Tv in the days of four channels. That's why the stars of that era were known by everyone.

City Ground for the rematch.

City Ground for the rematch.

I honestly can't see there being one. Far, far, far too risky for Carl. He's not an idiot, is he?

"As much as the fans want to see it reach a natural conclusion against George Groves, with me knocking him out again, I feel personally I gave him his chance and he blew it - he can't cut it at world level," said the champion.

"I've done my job and it's time to move on, but we'll see what happens. I'm not motivated by money, I'm motivated by securing a legacy and the love for my sport that I have."

Read that article earlier thought it was a ridiculous comment about Groves not cutting it at world level.

he said last week that he absolutely belongs at world level...must have been a lot going on inside his head
Sick of listening to Carl Froch and his sniping I hope he announces his retirement but something tells me he won't. I noticed his Mrs was in the ring 5 seconds after the fight too. I hope they go off and be celebs somewhere now, like Australia.

Why does he have any interest in a Chavez Jr fight then? That would prove nothing, but would give him a big payday.
