Yeah, not to mention the fact that Groves already has a win over DeGale and he might be able to use that to his advantage and act now like he doesn't really need DeGalestujones wrote:Now Groves has a title, which he won more convincingly than DeGale - I would say 50:50. Groves is a much bigger name and clearly not been as badly "Cobra'd" as Carl claimed.

Re: Groves Degale Purse Split
Both have similar star quality. DeGale has quietly the better record (win wise) Groves is probably more well known amongst the shít munchers! If ever 50/50 was fair it's here! I'm probably more of a DeGale fan but I really took to Groves after the Chudinov effort! I would actually look forward to this fight more than their first effort.... As good as that was 
Re: Groves Degale Purse Split
50/50 all day long. Too much nonsense about a sides and b sides these days. You need 2 fighters to have a fight, the public want an evenly matched bout so from a meritocracy point of view it should be 50/50.
I don't think who has the most fans or who has the most twitter followers should have any bearing whatsoever. You need both fighters to sell the fight and it's a sport after all, we're not buying their new single.
If the fighters want to make it 60/40 for the winner then that's fine too as it's based on meritocracy again.

Wouldn't you rather Smith took a strap and then defended it against someone worthwhile? Makes any fight between any of them a bit more interesting?Horse wrote:I'd rather one of them fought Callum Smith if he wins a world title.

I think 50/50 as they both have a lot to lose but yours is a decent shout man!ewenhay wrote:50/50 all day long. Too much nonsense about a sides and b sides these days. You need 2 fighters to have a fight, the public want an evenly matched bout so from a meritocracy point of view it should be 50/50.

Re: Groves Degale Purse Split
Well not from DeGale or Groves side so who would you have Smith in with beforehand? If he takes a title then surely he's worthy?Horse wrote:I don't think that it adds enough for me to want that to happen first.Stuarty30 wrote:Why? If you don't mind me asking?

Re: Groves Degale Purse Split
50/50... very fair.
60/40 to the winner even better.
