Groves

Groves : he made big money for Froch 2 and WBSS.

I would guess is career earnings were 4 times more than Degale ?

DeGale must have been well paid for all the trips abroad as a champion.

De Gale signed a good deal when turning pro, but i'd go with Groves amassing more over the years.

Dunno, I remember Cleverley earning something like 60k in dollars for a defence over there. Generally our fighters earn much more at home

Looking it up sources seem to say DeGale got $750k for his fight against Badou Jack who got $700k.

For some reason I though the pair of them would be sharing a fortune.

Possibly UK monies on top of that.

He got around 2.75m to fight Bute.

Id say Groves.

Definitely Groves

I think it was closer to 90 million!!!

I was one of of those.. defo seemed closer to 300 million.

We could ask Froch what the actual number was, but he's always very tight lipped on this subject

I’d pick Groves on a guess.

I feel for groves, the guys 32 and has been retired for two years and I can see why. He seemed to be in way too many tough fights for a guy his age. His prime should have been where the end of his career was. Perhaps his style had something to do with it but looking back at his career he was in a lot of tough fights imo too soon.

I’d say Groves with his purses against Froch and WBSS would of earned more.

But DeGale got some of the Al Haymon money fighting abroad. Both he and Lee Selby made very good money.
