Does he want to take a gamble on maybe his last fight and try and avenge a loss to Ward - which to be honest I doubt
he would win and Ward in my opinion is the best super middle and I reckon maybe could also clean up the light heavy's too.
or Froch do the right thing and fight George Groves again but like he said he has nothing to gain from it...
So if I was a boxer with maybe 1 fight left in the tank avenge a loss or do the right thing ?? or am I bothered only about the cash..??
Do I want to just think about the money I think froch has enough cash now so he isn't too bothered about that either..
Key question where would he make more money rematching Groves or Ward?
He has also said he would not fight Stephenson - ringside on skysports this week correct me if I am wrong about that.
Personally I think it's going to be either a rematch with Ward or someone random - but not Groves.
If i was groves I would start making plans to fight someone else - the ringside on skysports interview this week said it all - again correct me if i am wrong.
Thing is, don't see how Ward makes him more money than Groves - Ward isn't very popular outside of his hometown, which is why he always fights there, nobody else gives a toss about him in the states.
I think a Groves rematch, with all the grudge involved, would definitely be picked up on an American network, they could fight at 2.00 A.M, maybe a football ground - I reckon if it was promoted right, they could sell absolutely shed loads of tickets for this one - not sure Nottingham is a big enough place though, would people travel there, would have to probably be a big indoor arena - and with the PPV money here, and possibly PPV money (or if not, at least network TV money) from the US - it would be humungous.
However, Carl isn't probably that bothered about the money, I think he'd like a big fight in the Vegas - I think it may be Chavez, maybe a Cinco de Mayo fight? Big business, but not a great fight really on paper.
I don't think his arse has gone, I think it's more 'Screw George Groves, I don't like him, and he had his chance.'
