    I think he earned the right to call himself that years ago but can anyone take that away from him now?

    I know the undwrcard was **** and people take issue with PPV, but I think that a Boxing match was sold to the mass market based on it being a great fight between two great fighters should be celebrated. Usually these events need some semi fake rivalry to get people involved.

    People taking issue with him calling himself that are haters, simple as that.

    Every casual fan I know who shelled out £15 last night is well happy with their purchase! The fight somehow managed to exceed even the high expectations everyone had! So called boxing fans who robbed two warriors by watching an illegal stream need to take a long hard look at themselves, they're every bit as bad as the judges and referees they moan about every week. Two men put their health on the line tonight for our entertainment and so called hardcore fans couldn't be bothered to shell out 15 measley quid.

    All the warrior stuff was just comical, Carl has every right to call himself a warrior but repeating it a thousand times a day in order to sell a PPV is rather funny. For the majority of people it provided a little light relief I did not see one person claim that he didn't have the right to term himself as such.

    i loved it when they asked what he and kessler were saying at the weigh in and he said "it was a few words, words between warriors"

    Aye people on low wages should really feel bad about taking a few extra quid out the pockets of very wealthy men and multi million pound businesses- shut the **** up you whining tosser...
    Who are you to say what £15 is to someone anyway? To someone on the dole or minimum wage and a house and family that is a lot of cash.

    He didn't exactly go to war though did he. Could have had Kessler out of there before Mikkel warmed to the task if he really lived up to his words

    Scrappy fight. Would have been pissed if I paid $15 for it considering the undercard

    If people can't afford it, then fair enough.

    However, many on here apparently watched it via stream "out of principle". What a load of bollocks!

    Bear in mind that a lot of us already pay a huge chunk of cash for Sky already

    But I still wouldnt begrudge shelling out £15 for these guys

    God I feel bad now, rather than spend 15 quid on my son I should have given it to multi millionaires month in, month out to call myself a boxing fan. Most PPV fights of late are ****ing shite, no chance am I paying for them.

    That undercard last night was a disgrace, I don't care how much you love Froch or boxing it was not PPV worthy, should have been on Eurosport!

    If you wanted to protest you would completley ignore the whole card.

    No problem with the warrior stuff. Carl "free-running" across London in the buildup was a little awkward, though. :oops:

    No issue with me no more. All the slagging off i done of him for being a **** i suppose thats just his personality. The one thing this man truly is, is a WARRIOR! not that it means much coming from be but full respect for Carl Froch

    Carl Froch is a warrior. A true proper warrior. both him and Kessler am. He deserves the shot at Andre Ward even though Ward is to good for anyone in that division and in Light Heavyweight division in my opinion.
