    I wouldn't call 11pm on ITV1 primetime? I know ITV2 or ITV4 showed the fight at 8pm.

    I've no doubt ITV will show the Froch v Dirrell fight on delay.

    They were seriously pushing the fight on their show last week, borderline advertising the Prime Time channel and they've got a Big Fight Review show on next week where Rosenthal said they'd be talking about the fight.

    Does anyone else think that they would have the fight on live if it wasn't on in the middle of the night for Showtime - which is fair enough as they've put the tournament together?

    I'm sure ITV would be happy to show the fight live in it's current timeslot if it was priced realistically.

    Back in the day they would screen the Nigel Benn fights..
    Then Sky came along and pretty much claimed most of the coverage.
    Nobody watches ITV anyway ,apart from the occasional football game.

    Err. Think youll find Coronation Street and X Factor are pretty much the most popular shows on the box.
