Hayemaker wins Groves-DeGale purse bids – Boxing News
By Sean McDaniel:Hayemaker Promotions has reportedly won the purse bids to put on the George Groves vs. James DeGale British super middleweight championship bout for a fight that will, if ever gets made, take place by April 11th if it’s to happen at all. However, it may not have much meaning if the Groves-DeGale fight can’t be negotiated and right now there’s serious doubts that this fight can or will be made.
DeGale may need to move on and forget about Groves fight
By Sean McDaniel: Although British super middleweight champion James DeGale (9-0, 7 KO’s) would like nothing better than to get his fists on unbeaten Commonwealth champion George Groves (11-0, 9 KO’s), the way that Groves and his promoters are acting, the fight might not come off. It’s gone to purse bids recently, but there’s still a likelihood that the fight won’t happen unless Groves decides to take the fight.
DeGale doesn’t believe Groves fight will happen
By Sean McDaniel: British super middleweight champion James DeGale (9-0, 7 KO’s) is skeptical about getting a fight against unbeaten Commonwealth champion George Groves (11-0, 9 KO’s).

DeGale is hoping the fight can take place in April if everything goes alright, but he’s doubtful, because he thinks that Groves will try and weasel out of the fight somehow.
DeGale needs world class opponents, not Groves
By Sean McDaniel: Unbeaten super middleweight James DeGale (9-0, 7 KO’s) needs to move past wasting time thinking about fighting domestic level opponents like super middleweight Commonwealth champion George Groves (11-0, 9 KO’s). First of all, it’s not a fight that will mean anything because Groves has already been exposed as being fatally flawed in his last fight against Kenny Anderson. And more importantly, Groves isn’t world class. He’s not ranked in the top tier, so it’s a wasted fight for DeGale.

Warren says “There are few things to agree with Groves’ representative Adam Booth, but I’m more optimistic of making the fight than an Aussie opener with sun block on.
