    Don't think it would have made that much of a difference. Boxing in the UK just isn't big enough to accomodate too many "stars".

    beg to differ jared look how much money was made by haye last week, if froch/calzaghe was on a warren card at least u would get a fairly decent undercard as well 4 same price lol it would gross more than haye/audley without a doubt.

    He'd be a LOT bigger. That's clear as day.

    I doubt that. The general public would never buy into it as much as an all-British heavyweight 'World' title match, even one so farcical.

    No doubt that Froch would have been a bigger name under Warren, but at what expense? We probably would never have had the barnburners from Carl that we've seen in the last couple of years. Instead, he would have been fighting cherry-picked opponents and would been steered towards the WBO route.

    For all the stick that Hennessy gets over the management of Froch, he has got him some fantastic fights over the last couple of years.

    Calzaghe vs Froch would have never been as big as Haye vs Audley. I hate to say it but its true.

    I don't think it would have made a massive difference, he may have made more money but he wouldn't have been as many great fights.

    I think Warren would have put Froch in the Super 6, wasn't he promoting Benn when the talk of a tournament after the second Eubank fight?

    Fell apart because of Hearn according to Warren.

    If Warren was promoting Froch he'd never have been in the Super Six, where some of his biggest fights have been, his ego is too big. When's the last time a FW fighter fought 4-5 world class fighters in a row?

    Doubt he'd earn more money either, only the big names make good money off frank.

    Froch is a superstar that the mainstream don't know about. Who cares, he's made enough money and can look back at his career with a great deal of pride knowing that he earned everything he achieved.

    I think marketing wise, the fact that Froch came into the pro game (at a world level) very late for a boxer may have affected his marketability.

    Either way, there's no mistake that less deserved other UK boxers have got far more coverage that only Froch could dream of - that's wrong and unfair, imo.
