Gotta love El Feroz. I suppose Groves started this when he offered to bet his purse on Ringside. If either of them pays up here I'll be very surprised but even more impressed by their having done the right thing — you shouldn't make empty bets IMO, ungentlemanly.

i bet you fifty grand neither of them does

You're on! (Fingers crossed behind my back so it doesn't count — anyone notice if DeGale or Groves did that?)

Have you seen some of the things Bellew has said about Cleverly in the lead up to their fight and aslo, previously even here on the forum??

2 way street and in my opinion there hasn't bee any respect coming from Bellew....

What did he say?

That he was going to smash him - hardly disrespectful.

He's always wished Clev well in his fights, and has never called him a bum or the sorts.

The bet is for the amout groves is getting paid, degale will keep the extra he's being paid if he loses, so basically groves stands to lose everything but degale will still go home with a payday if he loses.
It's not winner takes all.

Basically the winner gets the other fighters purse and his own

why didnt he say winner take all

He forgot what he was going to say. D'ya know what I'm saying?

Bellow has always talked very well in interview or in forums, but you need a different mindset when you are squared up to someone come fight time. Also Bellow is an intimidating fellow he knows how to play mind games.
He is a classy person, he just knows when to turn it on.

Bellew, pronounced bell-yew.

I agree with you.

He prob didn't say 'do you know what i'm saying' because he had no idea what he was saying! Or what he had bet on!

Agreed, I thought he was an utter arsehole. Constantly whispering in Degale's ear, telling him what to say.

Little pug face twat mc donnell "i ll go 20 rounds" 20 rounds prat who with adam booth?

Just seen the presser, and Bellew looks off colour. I expect he probably hasn't slept much since yesterday morning.

Hoping for a Bomber win, but think the weight cutting at last minute might just take too much out of him.

Not in a 3 round shoot out If Nathan gets drawn into a dust up then it's a toss up. Bellew was a big hitter at heavyweight as an amateur.

David Haye!

I liked DeGale's tracksuit top.

Cheers for putting that up. It was priceless. Not seen such a genuine and heated press conference since Peden/Campbell 2 ages ago.Pity cant watch the fight. Anyone doing a RBR? Priceless!!!!! Being an Aussie..and a boxrec poster i will go for the underdog. Cmon Bomber, cmon Bomber.Hang on. Peden=Bomber...what happened in the first fight. What was said at the press conference about a free shot!!! Surely Cleverly will be a bit more clever???? Hope you get a good fight to watch!!

I might be wrong but I thought he was offering Adam Booth a £20k side bet on the result

Absolute class press conference!! I really like Cleverly he always conducts himself well but something about Bellew really gets under his skin! Though you have to agree with Nathan Brahmar would of been the harder fight! Really excited for this card

He did he said "I'll have 20 grand with you" not 20 rounds.

makes more sense had kid crying for milk so i prob heard wrong..

he is still a pug face twat...

I'm a sucker for this stuff

Hope bomber wins just to mix things up a bit and set up a big rematch. Got a feeling degale is gonna win with a controversial stoppage.

'let's do it now ya f*ckin rat!'

Bellew pulled out then and Aleksy Kuziemski steps in... what a farce
