    For everyone saying how hes a massive draw, comparing him to Ward, who isnt.

    Does everyone forget how no BRITISH channel would even carry his fight against Jermaine Taylor?

    It wasnt until he switched to Hearn, and entered the Super 6 that he actually started to be known outside of Nottingman.

    When Froch was Wards age, he was basically fighting on the British equivalent of Friday Night Fights.

    Good promoters getting the right fights, with the right hype makes all the difference.

    You can talk about Hearn and froch but groves played a big part in selling each of their fights

    George Groves sold that fight. Made that fight. Not Froch.

    I think the way the first fight ended sold it.

    2 british guys fighting for a world title after a controversial first fight.

    A lot of it sold itself.

    this, most casual fans were shocked how the first fight played out and ended, so they were dying to see a rematch

    When was the last time Khan fiought on a small saturday night free to air fight?

    Khan has had a career of big fights and hes only 27. Khans was pushed in a big way from his very first fight.

    Froch was fighting on free to air Saturday evening fights in town halls up until his 30s.

    Then Hearn got involved.

    He certainly hasnt been involved that long.

    Just the part where Froch became a big star in his home cvountry and became known in boxing circles around the world.

    The bit where he was fighting in Nottingham in front of a few thousand people....thats Hennessys part. And where he fought for a world title and couldnt even get on British TV.

    I put it to you, you dont know what you're talking about

    I think Hearn has been his promoter since the Glen Johnson or Andre Ward fight.

    I'll have you know it was on itv4 24 hours after the event. With that kind of coverage I think Hearn needs Froch more than vice versa

    The guy had Froch fighting for a world title on TV in his home country a day after the event!

    Imagine that happening to Khan!

    And the Jermaine Taylor fight?

    And why do you keep bringing up Khan?

    Khan is a perfect example of what good promotion can do for you.

    He was headlining cards in America on major networks when he was 23!

    Froch was barely known outside of Nottingham until he was in his 30s due to Micks magnificent promotional skills!
