In his column in The Sun today Frank Warren talks about the forthcoming Froch-Taylor bout, and about the difficulties in getting a TV deal for the fight in the UK. After giving various reasons why this may be, he finally says: "Sky may end up taking the fight - but it might be on PPV". How likely do you think a Sky PPV offering is? AND Would you order the fight?
I ****ing hope it isn't on PPV. Also don't know why they would put it on PPV anyway. Froch isn't that well known to casual fans really and Taylor certainly isn't. Surely they wouldn't make much money off it. They would get more viewers if its free from channel surfers or whoever. If it is on PPV then I probably won't be buying it, seeing as I don't have the means to.
Lopez-Penalosa on Setanta that night, would rather watch that. Sky would be stupid to put this on PPV, Hatton-Pac is just a week later and I think nearly all of us would rather buy that.
[quote="The Cobra";3744079]got an email off buncey yday he rekons setanta are still trying to get it[/quote] Good stuff:good I may be being a bit dense here, but are you thee Carl Froch? If so, just want you to know that the vast majority in here are rooting for you against Taylor. Here's hoping you pull off a great victory.
is juanma penalosa on setanta??? and isnt that on the friday night if taylor froch is ppv yeah course ill buy i bought khan barrerra and khan prescott so im buying pretty much anything thats ppv i cant stand watching shitty streams it recks my head
Nah, Lopez-Penalosa is on a Saturday night. It's on HBO in the States. I'm guessing it's on Setanta as it's a Top Rank promotion.
didnt know it was top rank, so you are right about it being on sat sorry i was threw off as eastside have it down for friday on their main page
If it's not on TV, Setanta (The Home of Boxing) have to pick it up. I'm not sure how well it would do on PPV anyway but all Setanta's boxing subscribers would be kept happy with this, Haye v Klitchsko, Cotto v Clottey, Pavlik v Abraham plus all the other Top rank, Sauerland fights we get.
I can't see how Froch has the public following for PPV - I can't see it being of PPV. Even the likes of Calzaghe (who has a bigger fan base, than Froch, currently) wasn't really seen as having the numbers to warrent a PPV slot.
Don't care who gets it, as long as its on TV, can't miss the biggest night in british boxing since hopkins calzaghe or more so mayweather hatton, unlike them two Froch will win this one.
Setanta needs to get this fight, and hopefully will. Froch seems to have been popping up on Bunce's show, on there, for god knows how long.
