'Froch's promoter says pay-per-view TV is only option'

[HMSTempleGarden]

maybe Sky weren't interested considering Haye is on SBO the following month.

"Froch transcends boxing - I've just been in airports for two days and have been blown away by the way he's being recognised everywhere.
"But if every one of his fights had been on terrestrial TV, it would be phenomenal."


sure he does mick....

Didn't Mick say Froch was the biggest draw in the sport after the Taylor fight?

i think you guys need to get used to primetime and ppv. its the way its been in the US for years, were just 20 years behind.

if you wanna be a boxing fan, ppv is hows it going to be. the sport justt doesnt work on terrestrial tv and doesnt have enough casual fans for subscription.

with primetime at least you have a choise, if you wanna watch the fight, pay £10, if you dont dont pay. better than nothing.

What about Gary Shaw? Must be plenty of food ordered between them two in the Super 6 promoters meetings.

Its a toss up like...or fry up...however you wanna look at it

I would imagine Ken Hershman's got every takeaway within a 5 mile radius on a high state of alert when those 2 beasts come to town

How Froch is still with Mick I do not bloody know, what a terrible promoter.

Did you see the fight camp 360 episode 4 trailer when they are all in the board room and everyone is having a laugh and the camera pans to Mick who is on his phone playing games probably thinking " fuck me when's lunch".

I don't get why they don't put him on terrestial for peanuts....

Then if Froch is impressive, they might find that channels will actually bid quite a bit more for his next fight......(not hard to market a german vs englishman fight, is it?)

Froch would be a big star under ****** but i doubt ****** would have agreed to the super six. Shit like this comic relief dancing stunt is a weak last gasp attempt to gain recognition and would have worked better had he not just mocked JC for dancing on tv. Surely Mick and Carl saw the work david haye put in on tv everyday in the build up to his fight and you would think they would try and emulate it.

Lets not bash primetime too much, remember what happened to setanta?

exactly. Haye is a reconisable sportsman because he does all the morning shows and goes on jonathon ross and soccer AM and shit like that. I mean Mick must be so fucking thick to be so short sited; if he beats Kessler on ITV then he can go to sky box office and do big numbers when he fights Abraham.

NOBODY outside nottingham knows who Froch is and it will stay that way unless they change their promotional outlook.
