The first night of Super Six boxing, with Abraham-Taylor and Froch-Dirrell will be on a new PPV channel called Primetime, and will cost £14.95. The fights will be live (not on delay like Abraham-Taylor on Showtime) and it will show the Froch undercard as well.

CARL Froch's first Super Six fight against Andre Dirrell at the Trent FM Arena next month will be aired live on BBC Radio 5 Live and the UK's newest pay-per-view channel Primetime, it was announced at a Press conference today.
It will cost £14.95 for almost six hours of boxing. It will be the first live event broadcast by the fledgling channel, which is filing the void left by the demise of Setanta.
Froch will climb into the ring against Dirrell at around 2am on October 18, so that it can be broadcast live on Showtime in America.
They will also screen Arthur Abrahams v Jermaine Taylor and fights from the Froch-Dirrell undercard.
But Froch is not concerned about going to work so late at night.
"I've not done anything different in my preparation," he said. "I'm still going for my early morning run and getting my head bit earlier every night.
"I've got to get my body tuned to American prime time."
WBA champion Mikkel Kessler broke off from training for his fight with Andre Ward to attend today's Press conference in the Council Chamber and says he can't wait to fight Froch.
"As a fighter you only take one fight at a time, but when I do fight Carl it will be a massive fight," he said.
"He wasn't a big name when I fought Joe Calzaghe, but he is a big name now. and I respect him a lot."
