    I know the adverts were a pain but at least we finally got to see it. I can't understand why setanta just didn't drop chagev and valuev and just pay for the rights to froch.

    There are lot of cliches flying around.
    On SKY sports they have a studio panel of experts like glenn mccrory.
    he says thing like ..
    "when buddy mcgirt (insert name) is confident you have to stand up and listen" ..
    yadda yadda yadda

    Totaly agree, the adverts were bollocks, glad it was shown, but jim rosenthal at the end said something like "we were proud to have shown the fight on ITV" or something along those lines, bit rich when they did not show it live,and considering it was not on itv1 why show all the adverts in full ?, i aint working tomorrow, but they must know many boxing fans are, and considering they obviously believed he was gonna lose and it was not worth showing live, the long SAME adverts did take the ****, the one after the 11th round to for 7 mins or so was wrong.

    Saying that though im glad someone showed it, great fight, not a huge fan of carl, he does like to go on about JC, but wow what heart the man showed

    This TV companies gone fa**** mad, even Sky Box Office you pay them £15 for Pay Per View boxing these Twats show advert between every round.
    God bless internet I watched live 3 am online, watching live boxing is definitely exciting the repeat.

    hofully Froch stay in the us and continue to fight here he'll be more appreciated with his style now that he Ko'd Taylor. hey if the networks in th eUK don't want him im pretty sure Showtime and HBO are happy to take him

    It was ****. I'm glad they never bought the ****ing thing. Imagine watching that at 4 in the morning having to listen to McGuigan spouting that **** !!!! He's a clown and so are ITV. Top result for Froch though, seen him box better and he looked very nervous for 6 rounds, but he got the job done.

    im pretty sure HBO will jump on him now and Froch still has about 5 or 6 more years in him.

    hbo will probally sign him to like a 4 fight deal next. either that or shotime will try to push for a unification fight with bute

    i really think a uni fight with but with green vs jt on the under card woulld be great winners fight each other.

    that way green really earned his shot and jt can earn a rematch for 2 belts

    wanting him now is the problem.... uk stations should have been more loyal to their countryman the only man in britain to own a world title...

    i hope he stays in america and cleans out the 168 division and tells uk stations to fuk off..


    how many statiions showed kahn and all these other nobodies but wouldnt show froch its a disgrace
