    Froch vs Groves 2 was £17.95, still a very good price though compared to the $100 that is going to have to be paid in America

    That's what I expected. Anymore would put the more casual fan off.

    Probably one to go casino for

    casual interest seems to be lacking in this fight from people I've spoke too, now skysports will ramp up the promotion / marketing for it we'll see how much interest there is.

    Cheaper than I'd expected but ESPN reported earlier that the worldwide rights total would only cost $35 million, so the £12 million reported by the Mail. Bit of a blow for Boxnation but not unexpected.

    Are you living under a rock?

    Even my Granny has been talking about this fight, and that's before Sky start booting the **** out of the promotion.

    Not so sure this will do great numbers amongst the casuals due to the fight starting at around 4am..

    Most of my non boxing fan mates have been asking about the fight so I think it will do decent figures.

    I think most general sports fans will be jumping on this, especially when Sky Sports News pump the hell out of the "biggest fight ever"

    Unsurprising really, thought they might really up the price though. Can't wait!

    Are they putting a card on themselves?
