    I am watching it down the pub but if I wasn't, I'd want to support this fight in some way. How many fights of this magnitude do we get in Britain per year? I'm sure a lot more people would have been happy to buy the PPV had the Pascal fight not fallen through,...

    There pound to say this, it's on PPV therefore they have to get the casuals to buy into it.

    Froch or Hearn, neither of them when asked the question about the fight are gonna respond with "er yeah, it'll be an alright fight..." they have to build it up.

    Froch only has a few years left, really he should be and I imagine he will be looking to cash in. Being built up like this is nothing but good for him, if he gets through this he'll be an even bigger name which means another big fight which = another payday.

    I guarantee it now... It's not even gunna be as good as the first fight. (And that wasn't as good as they are making out it was either).

    Like someone said earlier. It will be a cagey tactical boxing match until the last 2 rounds where there might be some late drama. Culminating in a Froch UD. And the casuals who bought the 'fight of the decade' garbage will leave disappointed in boxing once again and PPV will get slagged off ONCE AGAIN

    Rematches are a funny old thing, some live up to the expectation, some dont. Sometimes they can be better than the previous fights, sometimes they can be damp squids and sometimes they can just shock the **** out of you out of nowhere with an unexpected flash GTFDKO.

    I personally think this fight will have to entertain due to the PPV, so Eddie and Kalle will make sure both fighters beat each other to a pulp for casual fans satisfaction.

    It was a very good fight, way above average. Not the great they make it out to be. Really don't think it was a "war" either, it was more tactical. It had its moments but Froch was largely trying to maintain range, and Kessler was ploughing forward bodysearching, it wasn't exactly toe to toe at mid range for the most part.

    Sky do it with football and everything else for that matter

    Football fans don't go on about it though cos it's not worth going on about

    In some ways it's funny anyway

    Basically, get a grip

    That film was properly ****ed up. Not the sort of up beat happy go lucky feature I was hoping for.

    yeah she was a dark movie alright, good flick though and very factual on the maori's in NZ

    in jonah lomu's autobiography i read he went to the premiere and left half way through because it reminded him of his unpleasant upbringing mared by violence and alcohol in the family

    the second one is a bit more upbeat, jake the muss turns good guy it was called what becomes of the broken hearted

    Dont understand how a real boxing fan could whinge about the sport we love getting a lot of hype and marketing? Yeah its a bit ott and repetitive but what would u prefer , no hype and no accolades for the winner? Weird thread. Moaning for the sake of moaning. Just dont watch ringside for a bit innit.

    i think the majority of the moaners are only moaning because its on PPV, if this was on regular sky then it would be great.......yeah 2 ****ing warriors going at it

    its all hype to con motherfukers into buying and line the pockets of kessler froch and more so eddie and daddy hearn, kessler is getting 2.6 million for this get the **** out of here with that ****, its nearly as bad as berto getting 1 million for fighting some bum he koed in 1 rd

    i have seen what PPV has done over the years and its damaging, this fight is not PPVworthy and hearn thinks its justifiable cos he comes up with some bollox excuse
