    I wouldn't read anything in to that article. Its from a few days ago, and the quotes Froch uses are exactly the same as has been used in articles that simply say it has not been picked up yet.

    Somebody will show it live, I'm 95% sure. They are just waiting for the last minute to get it as cheap as possible.

    EDIT: And what the hell is up with cARL Froch? Its not very professional for a newspaper website, even if it is just the People.

    I can't believe it won't be on one of ITV, Sky and Setanta.

    I know they want the same money as Calzaghe got for his fight against RJJ, when Froch won the vacant title and is nowhere near the marketable name calzaghe was, or even taylor is compared to RJJ.

    I think Froch will have to take what he is given if TV are being tight with their budgets. Anything is preferable to not even being shown. How can you defend a WBC title, show the balls to go to the States...and then not capitilize on it because no ****er saw you.

    agree with TFFP. Froch's just got t o take what they offer. If he does as he says and goes over there puts on a show it'll up his profile, so he can call the shots next time.

    Of course it will get shown. If no-one else wants to pay, Setanta will pick it up last minute for a knock down price when Froch and Hennessy decide that less money is better than no money.

    I bet Amir Khan gets paid more than what Froch is asking for.
