    Anyone know of anywhere in Blackpool / Fylde Coast area showing both fights on Saturday Night?

    A lad in works there with his missus this weekend and is hoping to persuade her to go to a place showing it!
     
  2. i doubt any bars and pubs will be showing this,

    sad to say but no one outside the die hards even knows or cares about Froch,

    he's been poor promoted and not been showcased properly

    most bars didn't even show the pascal fight which was on ITV.

    Cheers for the responses. I don't think he fancies the casino because of the lack of atmosphere etc but thanks anyway.

    I seem to recall a pub near coral island opposite the main car park having quite a few sporting events on tv, reckon they'll be showing it?

    It's a long shot but try the club on the right hand side of the entrance to the north pier. It is owned by a great mate of Ricky Hatton's.
