    its a good question, he should be for sure. maybe its because hes so ****y, haye gets away with it because hes a HW and a one punch knockout artist. guys like that get away with anything, but it might turn ppl of froch or atleast have done so in the past.

      If Froch isn't popular over there, then I'd seriously have to question English boxing fans.

            It was the Bute fight on home soil that made him popular, not sky. There are a lot of boxing fans in the UK and they jumped at the chance to see a legit big fight in their on time zone without PPV.

              Yeah, I think because he was always fighting in everyone else's back yard we never got to see him. Besides we had calzaghe at that weight class. Also we seem to put too much stock in Olympians in this country, casual fans get confused and wonder why success there doesn't translate into professional boxing.

              PPV is really irritating though, as well as American fights being on at 4am. I'm grateful the klitschko's often fight in europe at least so it can be shown in pubs.

              I think fury has done well with channel five, he gets a lot of coverage because of that.... and his mouth
