Most fighters only ever dream of hitting PayPerView 'Prize Fighter' status.

With Froch's body of work coupled with the recent double header & spectacular finish (in front of 80,000 people at Wembley) vs Groves, Froch has firmly placed himself in that PPV gravy train. His stock is sky high and Americans love him for his old school throwback style.

It's been over a year since he's been out now and this window of major opportunity he's carved for himself isn't going to be a long one, it's fading fast.

It's high time the 'Froch Brand' was signed up to Las Vegas, let HBO and '24/7' do all the work.

If Froch isn't contracted to MatchRoom, he should ditch Eddie and sign a 1-fight deal with Arum or GoldenBoy to really maximise US revenue for himself. Major American PPV's in Vegas isn't Hearn's bag, he should stick to dancing to Sky's tune and selling "stacked cards" with shite headlines.

The only viable opponent for Froch in a big time Vegas fight is Golovkin.

Froch, Golovkin, Vegas, it's huge! Will be a sad waste to see Froch retire now, just when he's on the verge of the big time.

Froch's career has ended. Hes not daft.

was going to say , he don't NEED to do anything , his work is done , but agree GGG v Froch would be something special

Well maybe not on the road, as golovkin offered to move up to froch's weight, and travel to his country.

Agreed on the PPV though. HBO PPV is the only thing he hasn't done, and elite fighters do yearn for that money and status.

This fight could do both, draw the big British crowd and go out on PPV.

Calzaghe also went out on a PPV, in a far less compelling fight, in America, obviously.

They won't do it over here and on PPV in America. Englishman v Kazakh in England isn't going to be on PPV in the US, even if the fight was over there I'd be surprised if it was PPV unless HBO are desperate.

It'd be on HBO PPV regardless of location, I'm convinced. He's their next star and his mismatches against the guys who'll fight him pull great ratings in America. Ggg's next step is PPV , when he can get a name opponent. Froch was the #7 p4p and GGG is around #6, one's big over here and respected over there, the other is the offensive machine the yanks have been waiting for. This fight truly has crossover appeal - if done right, and the ppl who organise it have to maximise the event.

dont agree he is finished. froch has looked after him self the only three of the top of my head i think could beat him are . GGG ,kovalev, and ward

They won't put a fight on PPV in the afternoon in America, which it would have to be if they did the fight outdoors over here. Golovkin does well in America but there's others that do similar and they don't get talked about when it comes to PPV. Neither are well known enough in America to sell a PPV there, especially if the fight was held here.

Retiring would be daft.

Froch's trying to live off the Groves win.

It was an entertaining domestic fight - but nothing in the large scale of things. Really shouldn't end it there

Decent career - Would have like to see him in a rematch against Ward or face Kovalev/Stevenson (Though i think Froch knows better than to face these two)
