    This makes sense, show Froch Johnson on Sky Sports 1/2 on the sat night, build it up big time, hopefully he puts on a great performance which sky can then promote the hell out of the final for ppv. Finally the most underrated fighter of the last 30 years can get his recognition and paychecks he fully deserves.

    I would be quite happy to pay for Ward vs Froch on ppv...

    If froch loses now i will actually break down and cry. they should put some of his old fights on at random times and hopefully a few people will see a few of his wars and get interested.

    I still don't think Ward-Froch at 3 or 4 am in the states even with a good undercard over their does big numbers on SBO even with the big marketing. I wouldn't be surprised if Matchroom did a deal with Froch where they sort out the uk part of the card with Barker or Brook in a title eliminator and 1 or 2 other low key fights. Saying that i would definetley pay for Froch-Ward even on its own but the casuals wouldn't and their is lots of them.

    Exactly, **** off speedway and all that shite that they give air time to and show the Pascal, Taylor and Kessler fights. After Haye-Klitschko, the super six final is the biggest event in boxing this year.

    The only problem is that it will be at 3 or 4 so I can't see him becoming PPV unless he has a fight in the evening time. I think his chance has gone to become a big star ; I blame the promotion (take note team Khan), prime time has been a PR disaster (but has made them money)... I've always felt that Sky have been open to show Froch fights.

    Hopefully it should be on Skysports which is where it should be and it'll be great that they can build up his fights on Ringside and sky sports news!

    You know, I've got a feeling Froch will do Ward.
