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.
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
hennesey got froch in the super 6 as for the channel khan was on that channel not so long ago butt sore it sounds like #everythingforaraisin
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.
http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?cat=boxer&human_id=97570 hearn as not been involved all that long i put it to you that you do not know what your on about http://www.boxingforum24.com/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif
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'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
wbc title fight on ITV you sure you know what your on about remember fat mick got him on primetime years back you know the one khan fights on
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!
the pascal fight was live you fu ck ing t wa t research is your friend you blind fan boy khan is on frochs old obscure channel is p4p and is our most successful fighter at this moment , khan begging Floyd for the sort of money froch as just learnt :hi:
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!
