Carl Froch has claimed George Groves rejected a seven-figure payday to hold a rematch of the slugfest that ended so controversially last year - but prospects of a second bout appear good after the IBF ordered a rematch, to be fought within 90 days.
Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed to Sportsmail this week that he hopes to stage the rematch in a stadium on either May 24 or May 31, but Froch revealed negotiations have hit a stumbling block.
Sportsmail understands Groves earned in the region of £500,000 for their first compelling fight, which super-middleweight world champion Froch won via a controversial ninth-round stoppage on November 23.
