    simply bad management and promoting.
    And its been mentioned before, if the fights arent on SKY sports then no average joe will actually bother to watch it.

    Acctually David Haye is one of, if not the most famous boxer in the World. Haye is extremely well known in America as well.

    Yeah, much as I don't like Warren he can promote a fighter well. His deal with Sky would have helped Froch out immensely too. Sky's excuse for not showing this is poor though, I know they've never had Froch on before but to say they can't show this or JMM/Katsidis because they've got the Ashes on is pathetic. Considering they've got 5 sports channels I find it hard to believe that's why they're not showing them

    To be fair the rights to all Super Six fights broadcast in the UK are owned by Primetime so Sky, ITV etc had no options on this fight.

    i agree. Nobody takes Mick henessary seriously if Froch was with FW he would of earned more money AND due to his contacts he would of had better fights and more exposure. He maybe never needed the Super 6 as FW is a good negotiater and knows how to guide a fighter.

    Not sure about this theory, all my friends/family who don't even follow boxing know who Froch is, this thread is a poor hype job. Long live Great Britain, the greatest nation in the world.
