    Froch doesnt have the name (unfairly) for a PPV yet without some serious other fights on the same show so hopefulyl itll be on regular sky early april that would be a treat and if its nottingham ill pay whatever to go see him.

    Cant see it happening in Vegas because that is probably where the final will take place. Hopefully the fight will take place in New York due to how easy it is to get a flight there. Has been a brilliant tournament despite the withdrawls however Andre Ward having all of his fights in America is not right.

    He will after Sky have hyped the **** out of him for 3 months.

    I think it will most likely to be in Nottingham at 2am. But I hope not, I swore I'd never go to another one of those after Froch/Dirrel. If I do go I'm going to not bother with the undercard unless there's something really tasty on there and get into the arena about 20 minutes before the main event.

    Well see, if they could pair it with some well known British fighters then they could. But if they make it a usual show itll have bigger viewing figures and if Froch wins then theyll make a mint with the Final.

    How much would tickets be do you reckon??

    For a semi in Nottingham? Usual I suppose, start at 40, with anything remotely decent being at least 60-70.

    We paid £30 for the Froch - Dirrel fight and the seat was brilliant.

    Where were you sat? I ended up with floor seats and was sat with both the fattest backed ******* ever and the ringpost obscuring my view.

    Front Row of the first Tier. Absolutely brilliant view. You could literally feel the wind as Andrew ran round the ring!!!

    I was at the Froch Dirrell fight and IIRC the doors opened at 7ish for the undercard and the last entry was at 11 but the fight didnt start until about half 2 they must have spent an hour just playing songs before we even had a sniff of a ring entrance :-(

    i think froch is a big enough name to do a PPV if he is with someone else.

    How about...

    Haye vs Chagaev from London with the Super Six semi finals from Vegas.

    they would just pay him a fee which would rise if theres a really high number simular to Khans deal.
