By Scott Gilfoid: Photo: Casino/Showtime – WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KO’s) is saying he wants a winner take all fight with WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KO’s) on October 29th in their Super Six tournament finals bout.

This is likely Froch spouting hot air because I’ve seen this tactic used time and again with fighters trying to drum up interest in their fights. I figured Froch would reduce himself to this level for a fight that really doesn’t need these kinds of comments to get boxing fans excited about it.

Froch said this in an article at fightnews.com: “I’ll bet my purse against his [Ward].” Ward in turn stayed level headed about Froch’s purse comment, saying “He’s great for one-liners.”

In other words, Ward doesn’t take Froch serious and sees it for what it is – a publicity stunt. However, if Froch is indeed serious, it would be great for Ward to double his money on October 29th. I doubt Showtime would go along with this and would likely step in immediately and have issues with it. However, if would make the fight a lot more interesting if the purse was on the line because it be great to see Ward go home with a huge payday. I mean he’s getting payed really well as it is, but getting double would be so much better.

For Froch, it would be a long gloomy plane ride back to Nottingham, England, coming home literally empty-handed without his WBC belt, without the Super Six trophy and without the money.
