Super Six UK TV deal announcment Weds?

Is there any reason why everybody here is convinced ESPN will show it?

 

Wishful thinking?

 

I don't see that that nessarcerily follows at all, Kessler is the one recognizable face/ name in the line up besides Froch for the UK fans. Is it so extraordinary that they'd ask him to fly 2 hours for a bit of meet and greet for the press? (Although I think they'll word his introduction a bit better than you've managed)

There are people just seeing signs because thats what they want to happen.

 

I do think it is unlikely that they would fly Kessler in if they aren't showing him. Why would Kessler bother? Does it really add more than saying we have Froch? I guess they could say they are on a collision course or something but I don't really see it. I maybe hanging myself out to dry though!

I think people believe it's ESPN because that is the most logical conclusion. No one believes BBC would show it. ITV are finishing with boxing. Sky aren't keen on Saturday shows and there are no signs from them on their website (increased coverage of Froch, mentions of the tournament on TV etc.). Way too big a budget for Eurosport etc. That doesn't leave many options

 

To be honest I'm praying that the Super Six tournament (wanting to promote itself) will show Abraham vs Taylor at the Trent FM Arena. The undercard is pure shite (but the tickets are cheap so don't think I'm complaining) but I would love to see this fight. Pure hype!

 

18 days to go and nowt from ESPN ...

 

Alba - I'm pretty sure it says Wednesday

 

this should answer it,and guess the reguler ESB poster?

Jesus that'd be great, i'd buy espn or anything if this was on it

 

If a deal is made for the whole tournament then I'd pay whatever subscription need be, but if it's just a one fight deal then it's a no deal. Sounds promising though, hoping for ESPN so I have an excuse to get it.

 

If Hennessy Sports are holding the press conference, then that tends to make me believe the announcement will be for the Dirrell fight only, or maybe for Froch's three fights if indeed Fat Mick does own the UK rights to all of those, rather than the whole tournament.

 

Have ESPN shown any evidence that they are even considering showing boxing to us Brits.

 

If ESPN buys the rights for this fight only they could have the option for the other fights so it will be a case of see how it goes with the viewers for this fight and take it from there.
