    Is Froch Not Important Enough To Have His Fights Broadcasted By Sky One?

    Or whatever that network is named. Which other active boxer besides Amir Kahn is bigger than Froch? Is the Brittish media just willing to spare their attention for Amir and thats it? Do the Brittish just not like Carl Froch? Carl Froch has beaten Jermain Taylor and Andre Dirrell (though I dont think he did). Why the lack of support from the major network?

    I'm not a big Froch fan but he has been treated badly by the TV companies.

      I think Setanta going bust and ITV no longer showing boxing has an effect on the situation. Sky Sports can broadcast whatever they want, and don't have to worry about competing stations with potentially better fights.

          I dont think too many people take him seriously. He isnt regarded as a real talent.

          Thats probably why he is bitter and talks **** about Calzaghe, Khan and everyone else.

            I think its a disgrace they arent picking up Froch-Kessler. Although I have heard that Froch has made some unreasonable demands.

              Froch, once again, is acting too big for his boots and demanding too much money I believe.

              Sky Sports do suck for boxing though.

                  They escaped charges from the last robbery.
                  They dont want to be involved with another.
                  Might not be so lucky this time around.

                    First of all I think you mean "Sky Sports" not Sky One. I like Froch and I really think Sky should be showing his fights but they show Haye and Khan because in my opinion they are more marketable than Froch. Either way Froch is always exciting and for me I think Sky should show them.
