My guess is money. Groves has always been fine with being a part of Team Hayemaker, in fact he has revelled in it. This feels like a money isue to me. Even though I have absolutely nothing to back up my theory.

Not sure about ego, per se, but a bit like Khan leaving Roach becuase he wasn't getting enough contact time and Freddie was more invested in Pac, similar could be true here. Biggest fight of Groves' life and, maybe, Booth is investing all his time in Haye and Groves isn't getting what he needs.

by YDKSAB Tue Sep 17, 2013 5:42 pm

Its Hearn bro. He did the same with Frampton. Hearn dont deal with MANAGERS. He want FULL control and ALL the money. Booth got ICED by Hearn.

by Strongback Tue Sep 17, 2013 5:43 pm

It says they have parted company so that suggests its a complete split.

I always thought Booth and Haye bullied Groves. He was almost like that guy that Ricky Gervais sends around the world so they can laugh at him.

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Sep 17, 2013 5:46 pm

Ha, No strongback I don't. But I have followed the Hearns (not in a creepy stalker type way...if anyone asks) ..for a number of years and have seen what they have done with numerous sports i.e. Pool, Snooker, Darts ...

I agree that they do have some faults but on the whole they have done very well in whatever they have turned their hands too and I just think they get a fair bit of stick which is undeserved.

I don't see to many promoters getting huge fights in the manner which Hearn has so quickly into his venture as a Promoter. Of course having SKY behind him has helped...but lets not forget that it was the families ability to turn 'old fashioned and dated' sports or sports which had previously burned TV companies around which made SKY get behind him.

He has done well by the likes of Purdy and Rees who are financial a heck of a lot better of than they were before...he has delivered 3 big fights to Carl Froch...has not been afraid to stick his charges in with real live opponents, including his young protegee's i.e. Ryder vs Joe Saunders, Groves vs Froch and he has stuck by fighters when others may not have...Barker (injuries galore).

by YDKSAB Tue Sep 17, 2013 5:55 pm

Hearn send Rees and Purdy to get WHOOPED and now he doing the same with Groves so he can get RICH. Rees got RUINED by the problem. WHOOPED by Crolla in his next fight. Hearn is PLAYING you people.

by **Seanusarrilius** Tue Sep 17, 2013 5:56 pm

I am not blaming Hearn. No way does Booth just let Hearn swoop in and get rid of him. More likely this is a cash issue, IMO. Can't think why else it would happen.

What else is there to do with Rees and Purdy? Seriously, he gave them opportunities to make massive money, and neither of them have real talent or a fanbase. Didn't Rees make more than 330k for the Broner fight? That's a shed load of money for a fighter with Rees's talent and profile.

That's probably it. Coming up to the biggest fight of his career thus far he neds 100% dedication from his trainer and not for his trainer to spend time with a part time boxer.

by YDKSAB Tue Sep 17, 2013 6:00 pm

Hearn got Groves by the COJONES coz he offering a BIG Money fight on PPV. Groves HAS to do what Hearn wants. Take it or leave it baby and Groves got NO choice. NO other reason. All about the MONEY. Hearn is HUSTLING.

BS man. Haye the HUSTLER is knocking out his next BUM in under two weeks. Groves aint fighting until NOVEMEBR 23rd! Booth got NOTHING to do until then except be training Groves. Booth got ICED by Hearn. Truth bro.

He's a bloody idiot who offers an opinion, I mean your entitled to one...it's wrong...but your entitled to it! You have absolutely no evidence to suggest Groves has no choice but to accept it. In fact contrary to your belief...Groves has said it is him who wanted the fight and Hearn has stated he didn't want this dust up to occur.

He could make more money by keeping Groves unbeaten and building him towards a showdown with Ward....he could have put on DeGale v Groves and Kessler v Froch 3 which would have meant 2 big nights and many more £'s.

Oh I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out but putting certain words in capital letters doesn't make your point any more intelligent or indeed relevant.

I feel we need to spend some of our advertising money from the site on a new 'Numpty Control' team to ensure this board isn't continually flooded with them!

by **owen10ozzy** Tue Sep 17, 2013 6:19 pm

He needs big money to get Kessler back to the UK, despite the fact he probably has more than enough following the last fight between the pair and Kessler would not need as large a pay packet to come over 3rd time given he now brings less to the table! Doh

I would also like to enlighten you to the fact I have no doubt that I have physically dumped out more boxing knowledge than you have ever had in what I envisage to be your rather large head which ironically contains very little inside it!

by YDKSAB Tue Sep 17, 2013 6:23 pm

YDSAB bro. Hearn WANTS Kessler for another fight but Kessler WONT come unless he gets BIG money. Simple.

He dont have to PAY Groves big money and he gets a much BIGGER share for a PPV SUCKER fight. EASY money for Hearn.

THEN maybe Hearn will try get WASHED UP Kessler back for another SUCKER PPV fight and CLAIM Ward aint interested in SCHOOLING his FAKE champ again.
