thats a little shame :yep isnt it ?? http://www.boxingnews24.com/2011/01...on-fights-to-be-on-the-same-card-on-may-21st/
Well, looks more like a doubleheader to me, but of course the Froch vs Johnson is the much more exciting of the two. And although it's from an article on a site that's best known for their insanely biased and stupid writers, it's not that strange if this really would happen. It might have something to do with Sky beïng afraid the Haye bout won't sell very good after the Audley debacle, and who can blame them for not taking risks with this one.
Considering that Haye's previous PPV sales figures are counted in the hundred thousands and Froch's are counted in the hundreds, I wouldn't think that would be the motivation. Also the 'stupid and biased writers' appear to have just copied a rumour from the Daily Express in this case, so it's better to treat the whole thing as fiction until there is any indication otherwise.
There's no way Golden Boy will let Haye fight on Showtime is there, what with all the Arum/HBO stuff going on?
i hope this is the case. haye and froch on the same card would mean all the casual boxing/haye fans get to see englands best fighter and hopefully more switched on to his awesomeness. i fell out with primetime after duke mckenzie said it was a dead cert carl would be kod
Probably Haye as main event UK time and Froch as main event US time. But Haye is the bigger draw in the UK no doubt.
