    What an idiot. If I was Froch I would fight on BBC/ITV for a nominal fee. He could become a huge star in a few fights and then reap the PPV rewards. Numpty.

    perhaps he's not too confident in winning?

    just browsing the froch taylor website - dubious quote on there:

    "Undefeated Carl Froch, a household name in his native England,"

    if that was true that website wouldnt even exist!

    and it says it is exclusively on that website too so no chance of a tv channel picking it up as well

    this is fuicking bull****

    you cant sell every fight pay per view and expect it to be a success

    what moronic promotion

    I know Frank Warren took the **** and sold Khan V Presscott as pay per view, but Khan is a British Celebrity who appears on Family Fortunes and teenage girls have posters of his pretty face up on their bedroom walls and dream of being his girlfriend

    But Froch is not got that status

    Dont get me wrong Froch is much more the real deal than pretty boy Khan

    But Khan has teenage girls all over Britain knowing who he is

    Pay per view for Froch will fail

    Its the wrong move

    Why not ITV have this fight

    Bring back the good old days

    a ITV fighter fighting in America for a real World title against a top american

    Flint clearly has greater knowledge of teenage girls bedrooms than I do.

    What an idiot Hennessy is! If he's that confident that Froch is P4P class then he should take the short money from ITV and have this fight show on terrestrial telly.

    hopfully froch's people will read stuff like this from fans and see how ****ing stupid it is, it would pay froch in the long run to fight for free on british tv for this fight, its not like he would be earning nothing, he said hes getting a fair amount from showtime too

    I'd pay fifteen quid for PPV TV, but I'm paying nothing for this shitty coverage. It's Haye/Mormeck all over again. Boxing's ****ed and I'm cancelling my Shitanta.

    And the type of people who will are the type of people who know where to find cheaper options.

    I wouldn't pay Setants ANY more money because I'm paying those robbing *******s £13 a month anyway on top of what I pay SKY. And for what??? After Haye - Klitschko they can all **** right off.

    Hennessey should make at least £500 from this :lol:

    In all seriousness though, I won't be getting it, not for the money but because I like my beauty sleep. I will just avoid the result and watch it on DVD a couple of days later for £3 :deal

    What would the quality be like from this stream on a 4 year old laptop? :huh
