George Groves Sky Sports 2


Recommended Posts


Groves is one strange cookie. I took to him a bit for the Froch fights, and really admired the confidence he had in his own ability, but listening to him recently he sounds a bit delusional. I think after Froch v Groves II selling 80k + tickets at Wembley that he believes he is big box office. The whole 'biggest fight in UK boxing history' thing has gone to his head. It shouldn't have, because the ticket sales were much more to do with the unbelievable abilty Sky & Matchroom have in promoting a fight.... they could probably have sold out Wembley three times over if they were selling Benn v Eubank II today.

I won't even comment on Groves ring walk last night. All I'll say is that is that IMO a fighter should get 30 seconds from when they appear to the crowd, to when they climb through the ropes...otherwise get a point deducted. :laugh: I'm all for a wee bit of razzmatazz but it needs to be proportionate with the occasion.
