If you were Froch and Groves you'd have to be concerned with being paid with a rubber cheque if Frank wins the purse bids. I know Frank likes to use other boxers to generate publicity for his own, but surely if he can't afford to pay Burns and Mitchel properly, how's he going to pay these two?

I like how the headline says "Warren in talks with Froch", but the actual story says he sent him an offer.

Frank would be silly not to offer.

He gets the fight & it could mean big bucks for his channel, he doesn't get the fight and he probably makes fast eddie pay a fair bit over the odds.

Was it tommorow that Eddie had set the deadline to get it sorted by? Im sure he said the 4th.

Anyone else find it amusing that he compares it with Fury and Chisora? 'These are the fights the fans want to see'

I have little interest in Fury/Chisora II

I think he didn't pay them out of spite, i'm sure he paid Ryder and Haye no problem.

Warren is a joke, his offers mean nowt in situations like this, just generating publicity for himself.

I can't imagine he believes for a minute that the result will be overturned; I imagine he's enjoying being a thorn in the side and a pain in the arse of Froch and Hearn and I don't think it'll be taking up that much of his time; if Froch disliked him before the first fight he'll hate him with a passion before the 2nd.

This must be the reason. Froch will expect him to be a wind up from the build up to the first fight so he may be thinking he has to take it a step further this time.

Providing they get a big enough venue for the tickets not to sell out in a couple of minutes again i dont think there many sports fans, never mind boxing fans, that wont be trying to get a ticket.

I wish Groves would hurry up and sign so he can get beaten fair and square. He is coming over a right wee pecker.

I'm just not really interested in it. I think Fury should be past this type of fight by now. He's already beaten Chisora once.

It's more interesting than any other HW match up currently being made.

What kind of fight? Chisora is one of the better heavies around, I'd love to see that rematch.

Its going over old ground for Fury.

I'm not totally against it and I think part of the reason why I'm not that interested is for some crazy reason Fury seems to think he needs to fight two complete knock over jobs in preparation for someone he has already beat. I see no reason why Fury/Chisora II can't take place next month as opposed to trying to build it in to something it isn't.

If its made a final eliminator it will leave Fury undercooked for a title shot. I wanted to see him gradually step it up, actually take on someone who poses a bit of a threat, and then gof or Wlad, giving him the best possible chance.

Plus Fury beats Del Boy ten times out of ten.

I think Chisora has looked very poor lately.

Nowhere near the version who gave Vitali so much grief.

He was losing his last two fights until 'weird' stoppages occured.
