    Good news but i'd much rather they got Froch vs Kessler! i suppose there is no chance of that with Fat Mick onboard

    I'll be amazed if it is as early as the article says but it would be great if it is.

    this is a good move by itv, warren and hennysy both made an arse of themselves with there poor shows and pullouts, at least the yanks are consistant.

    Now I know why Warren made the Kevin fight May 15th, Warren is trying to **** block Khan from making his money, because remember all UK PPV share was going to Khan, none to Paulie.

    Believe it when you see it.
    But I always thought ITV would not just walk away from boxing. There is too much of a tradition and, Rosenthal, Rawling, McGuigan, McKenzie etc are a top team. They have always said they want to show top world title fights and, good though Froch is, he does not have anything like the appeal to the casual fan that Khan does. This is terrific news for boxing in this country if it it true. Fingers crossed.

    Yeah but Froch would have had to give his promoter a share of the cash.

    This will be Khan's money and his only - therefore a lower fee will probably apply.

    ITV might just use the HBO feed and have the guys in the studio :think

    Nobody knows who Froch is outside of Nottingham.

    Will it **** start that early. Being from NY, it would probably start at 2am at the absolute earliest but realistically closer to 3. It's still better than 4.45 for the big fights though:good

    I'm surprised to see ITV still interested in boxing, great news if they can pick this fight up.

    Is anyone going to give Team Khan a bit of credit for this if it comes off?
