    You can't make PPV at 5am viable. That's just easy. The only fight he could make PPV would be Kessler in Nottingham, and how many would it actually do? He's not Hatton with legions of fans and he's not a Heavyweight like David Haye. As much as most of us like Froch he still isn't that big to a casual fan, certainly not enough for them to dip into their pockets anyway.

    Froch vs Ward is a terrible PPV bout but they can sell it if Bute II and Kessler II preceed it and he wins.

    I agree. Boxing fans know what he's done but I don't think he carries enough weight with the casuals to make a PPV with either Kessler in the UK or Ward presumeably at 5am from America.

    I dont think we will see PPV until were out of the ****ing recession. How many fight fans are struggling with the normal paying bills and food shopping as it is. Sky wont come back with PPV until 2 things happen the recession ends and gets back to the times of 2007 / 08 or a Mega fight is made ala Pacman v Money and that will be a hard sell to most with the time its on.
