Froch offering Showtime 1/4 million to fight in Nottingham

If he's paying them out of gate reciepts that he wouldn't be getting any way if he honoured the Showtime contract he signed then I don't see its much of a problem TBH.

 

i feel sorry for carl

audley will get a ...... ' hometown kid ' comeback ppv

before poor carl gets a itv fight

 

Andy Kerr has just tweeted that Lou DiBella has been quoted as saying "No way" to the fight happening in Nottingham http://twitter.com/AndyKerrtv

Of course not.**** Showtime,they have vast amounts to spend if needed.It's Johnson who has to be over paid to accept such an agreement.Froch is talking to the wrong people.:-(

 

if this happens i'm changing my pick from Johnson to Froch

 

Froch signed a deal that would have both semi-finals in the US - you know where the broadcaster bankrolling the whole deal is based. Why shouldn't he give some of the money back if he wants to amend that deal and bring it to the UK?

And his third fight in Europe was Hennessy being a tricky ****er like usual...telling Froch he had a signed commitment for the Abrahams fight to be in the UK when keeping it vague with Sauerland.

 

Sky talks are back on looking posative.

 

No he isn't, its in the contact that the fight happens in America.

 

Thats true but you'd also have to think that Johnson would want compensating for the fight moving to Frochs backyard?

 

Don't really understand why this isn't happening in the UK anyway. It makes no sense in the US, Johnson is not a big draw and he's against a Brit. It would be far better for the overall theatre of this fight to have it in the UK.

 

I'd love to go to a Froch fight, hopefully he can have his first fight post super six here.

 

I'd like to go to another Froch fight now that the pain of the Dirrell debacle has worn off....not that I'm in any way blaming Froch that his opponent didn't show up to fight or that Hennessey couldn't organise an orgy in a brothel.

 

I used to detest Froch but I think he has won a lot of people like me over since signing for the Super Six. I would try and have a trip down to Nottingham if he pulls it off. Tough fight for him though.

 

Froch is the man, we will ****in miss this guy when he's gone, we'll have to get used to watching khan fight overmatched opponents and ricky burns fighting waiters

 

Would love this to be in Nottingham Trent FM Arena, there is not a bad seat in the house...:good
