    Froch has no following anywhere, except Nottingham. This shows how ****** Mick is, Calzaghe had a few fights on ITV before he started getting recognition. How can you only have 1 fight on ITV and change to Box Office?

      They will stack the card with Witter and some of the young "name' fighters he has.

      Probably strike up a deal to show it the same night as big American fights like warren did to try and justify it.

          I'd rather download the fight the day after than pay £15 for it on SBO.

            mick is having a laugh if he thinks that froch is PPV material - having a belt doesn't mean jack**** these days, carl has been parading that WBC belt like its the ****!ng crown ***els.

            unless hes fighting taylor or kessler its not worth tuning into imo. id rather just watch it on repeats or download it the next day. the likes of hatton, calzaghe and lewis were all bigger names than froch is before they got their PPV fights.

            witter will no doubt be on the undercard, that might actually put alot of ppl off.

              I heard Darren Barker v Duddy could be on undercard.

              Cant wait for all the excuses when Froch wins.

              Anyway should be on ITV1 imo

                Duddy will fight Pavlik next of that there is no doubt.

                Not sure about excuses, if Froch wins fair play he is still a ****.

                  That would be a terrible PPV, people in the UK don't really like buying PPV outside Hatton there is no way this will sell i would not be surprised if that got less than 10,000 UK buys, Taylor vs Froch should be on ITV.

                    Yeah, get boxing seen by the least number of people...

                    I guess this is the problem with the sport being driven largely by promoters. They aren't in a position to think about the bigger picture. They go for short term $ and **** the sport in the ass in the process.
