    HBO have chosen not to show the fight of an international superstar like Froch? How strange.

    It should be a miss-match but Ive just got a funny feeling that Groves might land a big one on the chin..it could be just my recent dislike of Froch taking over but I can't shake it off that I feel Georgie boy is going too win.

    Yes but seen as he thinks he is an "international superstar" key word being international, yet it's only in the UK the fight is big, he is a big star in the UK but nowhere else so he should stop with his ego thinking the entrie world knows who he is, ask 10 people in America or any other country bar the UK who he is and i bet maybe 1 will know

    Awe tv is a small time niche channel.I don't know of anyone who actually subscribes to the channel but you can watch it on line from Awe for only $1.00.
    I **** you not,that is the price for this channel-a buck a month.:patsch
    I will also pass on this "fight".No interest here.

    This thread smells like bull****?


    HBO have a 4 fight deal with Froch. Why would they pass on this after signing a contact in the summer.

    It's not bull****.Awe tv has already announced it.So much for Froch's fan base in the US-he doesn't have any.Don't believe what Froch and Eddie tell you guys over there.

    Is Hearn still trying to pass the card off as PPV worthy?

    As fat Dan said the only reason it ain't on hbo is because of the pac rios ppv, which is huge business.


    A fact all froch haters forgot to acknowledge

    Why wouldn't Froch v Groves be shown before the Pacquiao fight? Is there a clash of times.
