Froch vs Roy Jones Jr (8 x 2min rounds exhibition fight)
Just heard Froch mention this on an interview today, said he's been offered a RJJ fight over 8 rounds and he is looking at the paperwork.

Fair play to them if they can make easy money, but doesn’t interest me in the slighted these exhibitions

None of the exhibitions interest me, but they don't bother me either. It's mostly a bit of fun and a relatively risk free way for these guys to enjoy some of the old glory and fight feeling while making some money

They don't massively interest me, I wouldn't pay but would happily watch. Froch and Calzaghe would be entertaining.

wouldn't really want to see it tbh

I’m surprised Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank haven’t agreed a 3rd fight exhibition style
Re: Froch vs Roy Jones Jr (8 x 2min rounds exhibition fight)
Jones said on the Sky podcast last week Calzaghe had been in talks to claim some of that Triller dough.

The sad state of active top fighters not fighting each other has given past champs this stage.
We would not care a toss about exhibition fluff fights if Fury and AJ fought a trilogy in one calendar year ( like HWs used to)and every month a weight class had a unification bout.

Froch isn't the sort of character that can treat a fight as an exhibition.

Didn’t Nigel have another fight lined up quite recently against some ex top level guy who was 40ish but rumours had it that when Nigel had his first proper spar he realised that it wasn’t such a good idea and the fight got cancelledRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑06 May 2021, 17:00I remember a few years ago.

If these exhibitions continue, Matt Christie is going to explode!

Remind me why?

Why not? Sells tickets. So long as they try to knock each other out I’m happy.stevec@france wrote: ↑08 May 2021, 06:49its only a matter of time b4 these get sandwiched between the real fights on ppv cards .
