is karl froch world title fight on itv or setanta?

all the stuff with the football highlights.

 

There was something in one of the boxing mags about Hennessy doing a deal to show Froch / Pascal on Fight Network channel following the Darren Barker fight in Canada recently on that channel.

 

ive heard that the fight is going to be on channel 5...

 

Surely this is a pisstake?

atsch

 

Anyway I am not a fan of Froch, I beleive he is just another Amir Khan, primed for a beating as soon as he steps up in class.
Not sure Pascal is the man to do it though.
:bbb

 

was suprised 5 did not get involved in a deal with warren.

 

Well, I really hope that some terrestrial channel does actually step up and brings some decent quality boxing to the masses, because otherwise putting everything behind subscription channels will pretty much strangle boxing and stop any hope of it developing a growing fan base - which is what it badly needs.

 

No, theyre not in the **** financially .. what it is is that the BBC or ITV wouldnt pay what they were askign for the highlights package of England matches.

Fair play to them i say, ITV and BBC are always trying to do things on the cheap ... and how can ITV cough up millions for motorsport then be tight about hopw much they pay for Englands national sport.

 

atsch Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!! I've got virgin meadia thus not having fight network!

 

I was amazed he was flag-waving and championing SKY as well.:nut
They only really care about PPV rip-off's nowadays,not the fans or subscribers.
Dont know what he's on.

 

I read on froch site it was November 1st and would be on ITV / Showbox ??

 

Well boxrec doesn't have the fight listed. Anyway, surely the fearsome 23 fight 31 year old Cobra should think carefully about things first and not rush into anything at this exciting stage of his career..........yawn........

 

I know the Murray fight is pencilled in for Manchester Central (the old Gmex) which is pretty big, but isn't Froch's fight due to be in Nottingham?

 

Yup - fair play to Setanta I say, if ITV and the Beeb dont offer enough dont sell them the highlights.

I dont think Setanta have money issues.

On another note, does Froch have anything lined up? I didn't think he did.
