    On his divisional rankings he has Froch v Taylor on April 18th or 25th to be handled by Showtime - bit premature isn't it...not even boxrec have it down yet and their usually one of the first. I hope it is the case tho, would love to see this fight.

    Also...would i be write in thinking that ITV have a better chance of striking a deal with showtime rather than HBO to get this fight on terrestrial t.v - or is that wishful thinking.

    they would not be making a deal with showtime or hbo, the promoters own the rights to the cards not the tv companies.

    the fight will be on setanta or sky box office as itv did not want to put up enough money to make the fight, it was frochs promoters only choice otherwise make a defence against a top 10 challanger.
