TV Channels low-balling Froch

Hennesy needs to get Froch on TV this time! You have to start questioning Hennesy's promotinal skills. He failed getting Forch vs Taylor on TV and has put together a really poor undercard. Froch just needs TV exposure to get more fans which will inturn generate more money! I know they are proud men and deserve alot more then 100,000 but its better then nothing, and if Froch does the bussiness could lead to being a bigger name.

 

I suppose from the TV companies point of view, how much do you expect them to pay to fill 2 hours of air time at 2am on a Sunday morning?

Hennesey has (presumably) taken Showtimes money and is showing the fight at a time to suit them, so now he's going to stuggle to get a decent price for the UK rights because of the time difference. Swings and roundabouts I'd say.

 

very true, plus theres no way people are going to tune into that awful undercard hennesy has put together.

 

hennesey had a perfect platform to build frochs public profile after the pascal fight then for watever reason they ended up streaming the taylor fight online rather than negioate a tv deal which would have again strenghtend there bargaining postion if it had been on terestial tv

 

Exactly right. If it was worth more, then there would be competition to show it, and the price would be driven up.

Froch needs to get on domestic TV, he should be a star after his last couple of outings.

He's got all the ingredients except one - a decent promoter.

You can't help but think that under Warren he'd be a big name by now.

 

Yeah, I have to say ehre, although I am appalled at the lack of coverage at present, Froch is a newly crowned world champ, and his last bout was a lucky KO, letes be honest, he needs to get in line.

Hennessy will probably show it on a giant overhead projector via dodgy internet stream in Nottingham city centre or something.

 

**** off Mick! Just take the 100k FFS. It'll work out better in the long run.

 

100k isnt bad for 2am fight against an opponent only us hardcore fans have heard of.
Fat Mick needs to stop thinking boxing has divine right to get big tv money.

 

Exactly, Froch is not a mainstream star. Very few non-boxing fans have heard of him (outside Nottingham). Mick must be getting a lot of dosh from Showtime plus the ticket sales so 100k for UK tv at a **** time is pretty good.

 

Would an offer of 100,000 pies be more acceptable?

 

Froch ought to consider marketing himself - the way Hatton did from 2001 onwards despite working with Frank Warren.

In any case, an offer of £100k isn't bad at all, might pay for a decent undercard :yep

A few people said to me after Froch vs Pascal how great the fight was and to let them know when he was on again......

I said to join ESB and read the Brit Forum RBR :-(

 

Is Froch going on ESPN:think

Lol get serious! Again another 'fan' who hasn't watched the fight. It was even stevens 12 in you know without the knockout! Wake up!
