Is the media stupid or scared to say it?

After watching ringside last night im just shocked that not one person on there or in the media this week has had the balls to say pubicaly or to rob mccracked 'It wasnt carls performance they were booing it was his attitude afterwards!' Is everyone in the media just stupid or scared to say it because hes an international superstar?

Or are they all just missing the point here?

Even Michael owen has done something in the paper this week saying much the same as what Mccracken said on ringside


'"We should celebrate winners, yet all we heard was a chorus of boos directed towards Froch as he spoke in the aftermath of his fight. Of course, there is inevitably going to be some frustration among the paying public because of the referee’s hasty decision, but to target frustrations at Froch was an utter disgrace.

“I can only attribute this type of behaviour to the way we are brought up in this country where we have a history of celebrating great sporting near misses.

“Of course we should celebrate George Groves, a youngster who we all hope has a great future at world level, but let’s also praise the person who should be receiving the vast majority of the plaudits – that is Carl Froch, the actual winner."

n o b!!

What I think there all missing is there was 2 lots of boos, initially for the ref and then for froch being a c o c k in the immidiate aftermath and then that pathetic ringside babble! These professional fools seem to be confusing the two! Is it only the paying fans who understand this!

Groves was not only fighting Froch he was fighting the establishment.
Sky, Matchroom, sponsors the money.

A great pic was posted on here just before the fight with Groves staring down the whole Froch entourage.

The first thing people were booing and were outraged by was the injustice of what happened to Groves that night, the next thing was Froch's attitude in the post fight interview.

Matchroom have the media contacts and the PR spin guys and they will need them when they have to sell the Froch vs JCC fight on PPV.

I for one will be boycotting. And will consider to boycott all of Hearn's cards from now on.

It is in one of the many Froch vs Groves threads think May posted it, Groves posted it on his twitter page too.

Sky have to walk on egg shells with Matchroom because without Matchroom they will have no domestic boxing. They have lost so much to boxnation, who also cherry pick the big US and Germany fights.

This is they have to kiss Hearn's backside every time because Johnny Nelson and co will be out of the job
