    You should have said it the first time. NBC Sports (formerly Versus) isn't NBC.

    It's like ESPN, maybe a bit smaller.

    After all, they probably already sacrifcied a lot of money to go to England.

    Like Dracon said, NBC sports is pretty even with Epix, who is becoming more and more known for having shown good fights not televised by Showtime and HBO. Epix is a window in America on what's happening in Europe.

    I heard Bédard say Bute was treated like the champion, financially speaking. Froch has the English TV rights while Bute has the North American ones. They split the rest of the world including Europe.

    I think both camps are an example for the boxing world: the conditions were not perfect but they wanted to make the fight and both made sacrifices. :good

    Nice interview. Larouche seems relaxed and confident. I remember the cocky look on his during Lucian's introduction for Andrade II, hopefully Bute is coming out with a surprise arsenal.

    "Dirrell was on his bike for the most part" - :lol:

    Carl Froch is on Sky Sports right now and he's demonstrating a razor sharp wit.
    When is Bute ever funny?:huh
    Another round to Carl methinks.:think

    He's gonna be very serious and non-funny in this one. :yep

    Froch can have the virtual rounds, methinks Bute will win 8 to 10 of the 12 rounds come May 26th. :bbb

    This. Froch might get a generous round or two from the judges since they are fighting in his neighborhood, but thats about it.
