    The Johnson fight is going to be on Sky now.

    I saw it in the Times today. I don't read the Murdoch rag just had a glance when I picked up my Grauniad. And, because of their firewall, I don't think I can link online either.

    Anyway, great news for Carl. The article was all about his profiting from Kahn's hissy fit.

    If you mean 'terrible poseur', you would be correct...I lecture in Sociology at a University, I need to live up to my cliché.

    I'll bet you it was **** all to do with us. A handful of posters on a Boxing forum will not change the mind of the biggest sports broadcaster in the country daft ****.

    Maybe it was something to do with a few of his last fights being fight of the year contenders and him being one of the best fighters in the country.

    Its just a thought.

    hitman whats with the name calling?

    I am not saying we are the sole reason Froch is on Sky. Pressure from boxing fans (us) has had a role to play that cannot be denied.

    Sorry mate, I apologise for calling you what I did and maybe you're right but I thought you meant we were the sole reason.

    Sorry again for the name calling.

    No need for the attitude, it was a genuine question. If the decision was based on him being in good fights, he would've been signed straight after the Pascal/Taylor fights!!!!

    Its not just one forum who would have been pushing for Froch to get more recognition, the forums are read by people who make the big decisions in boxing, so, even tho it only plays a small part, I think it all makes a difference.
