Carl Froch statement - 24/01/2014

"There has been plenty of speculation over the last few weeks regarding my future. As it stands we are looking closely at two options George Groves and Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr. Yesterday, we made a seven figure offer to George Groves for a second fight that would have seen him earn around double that of the first. Disappointingly, George rejected this offer so we are continuing our talks with Top Rank and HBO regarding Chavez Jnr. I understand the demand for the Groves fight in the UK, but also the demand in the US for the Chavez fight. Talks are on-going and no doubt some further news will break soon. I’m happy to fight anyone, as I have done throughout my entire career."

Thoughts?

My personal perspective is that Carl is smart to put the squeeze on George. I also think seven figures should be enough incentive for George to take a rematch he will be very confident of winning. However, whether or not George was right to reject the offers depends on the stuff on top of the money (options e.t.c)

Also, given the generally over-the-top reaction to Sportsmen pay, claiming George turned down seven figures is not a bad first move to win back some casual fans...

I actually respect DFtaylor as a poster despite the fact he is wrong on 90% on boxing issues. The man is obviously intelligent though. Lowlifes like Jack though embarrass this forum. The guy is clearly a troll and a paid stooge for Matchroom.

I dont think Palmer gets anything from Matchroom though. The man is just mentally weak and has been converted by Hearn like many on twitter to help his business. An example would be in Batman the Dark Knight were the Jokers henchmen are often schizophrenic and mentally ill individuals who are easily led.

Admittedly I haven't been posting at length recently,but I have dftaylor and Jack both down as excellent posters.
Jack has always been one of the most civil guys to me in this forum and I've enjoyed dft's posts for years now.
If I've missed something then fair enough but I just don't get the hate for Jack here.

My opinion is not held in high regard on here, but there are many others held in more esteem who have issues with the guy so I assume it is not a coincidence. I actually havent seen you post here compared to the WBF in a while mate....:cheers

I find it difficult to make long posts(which I think is required here as you can usually expect informed discussion or the need to make longer points when it comes to certain people) and I haven't had much time to get on the laptop lately(where I feel I do better work with regard to debating) so it's usually shorter posts I make on my phone mate.Just not had the time lately.
In fact,I'd go as far as to say I'm pretty disgusted at my lack of lengthy posting lately,although I'm sure some would say that's a good thing.
I still look on here,but I know I want to start getting involved and by the time I've read through pages I need to do something annoying like take my dad to the toilet or feed my kids or something shit like that.:-(

Jack's a nice guy, usually very civil when he's debating people, but his views on certain topics like politics and matchroom are sometimes very blinkered/naive and it can be frustrating to read. DfTaylor can be one of the most stubborn, haughty, condescending posters on this site but he usually backs it up by talking a lot of sense, and he's right probably 90% of the time, although the cunt would probably argue it's 100% of the time. I voted him brit forum poster of the year 2013.

Nah, I'm probably averaging around 70%. And the condescending tone is just an offshoot of me being so verbose. I have tried to tone it down the last year or so!

But thanks for the love. And for calling me a cunt. Cunt.

In general, Jack is an excellent poster, but when it comes to anything to do with Hearn it's like he abdicates all common sense and just rides along on his all-consuming admiration for the guy. And that makes him fairly irritating, although not to the extent Rob can be, where he derails every thread into an argument about Hearn and/or Sky.

And he can at least spell, so there's that.

Nice fair statement mate.All we need is Jack to respond and I can imagine myself being Bob Marley when he got the PM and opposition leader to shake hands.

Maybe it's best I'm not posting much reading that bullshit back,but fuck it,I'll take it on the chin and go with it.:patsch

PityTheFool has brought the love :lol: :good

DFT is a good poster usually and I have no issues with him on the whole. We disagree at times but whilst I probably sounded like a dick then, I have no animosity to him and the majority of posts he makes are very good, even if I disagree at times. I ignore people like Mugsy and Bill because they're not worth it, but DFT is cool and if I was a knob, my apologies. Watching Bolton in the football probably doesn't suit my rationality :lol:

Maybe I should get involved with the negotiations for Froch-Groves II? :lol:

That hurts, that truly fucking hurts, here's me offering you an olive branch, a peace offering as such, I gave you a 1/10 percent chance of being right and reasonable and you throw it back in my face, I could have give you 0/10 you degenerate cocksucker you, fuck off Jack just fuck off.

Ungrateful prick.
