TV Channels low-balling Froch

I know, my post said United States & UK AND US commentators had it scored at most what I posted.

I then broke the fight scoring down (several times) so the fight could fairly be assessed :good

 

Someone has to show this fight live. I think there would be a chance of a replay on ITV the next day but then again it is X Factor time. I would love it for the bbc to show the highlights of these fights it would be a step in the right direction for them but they are happy to spends millions on F1.

 

No one's making out that he schooled him for the whole fight but the first 6 rounds were embarrassing.

Completely outclassed ,ploderous and yes...schooled.

Would you deny that?

 

I had it close going into twelve. I think Taylor up by two. Can't remember. So Froch would have won on the cards with a 10-7, drew with a 10-8.

I thought Froch swept the second half of the fight.

 

£150 - £200k For a big title fight from the BBC or ITV. Someone should grab it live. It's worth no more than that.

 

Sarah i think what Taylor did was demonstrate how to beat Froch. The first 6 rounds Taylor was dominant, his collapse was spectacular and down to Carl. Whether or not Carl can do that to everyone else is doubtful. Cracking fight.

 

small chedder plus exposure is better then no chicken and no exposure

 

Exactly.

IMO Hennessy is being very selfish here. He could get more exposure for his other fighters - if he put the right ones on, by that I mean the ones that people give a **** about.

Put Murray vs Thaxton on the bill and take whatever money is available..... if the show goes down well you are bound to receive good publicity and probably better offers from hereon in.

Froch ought to just get rid of Mick and do his own TV deal. He is a pretty intelligent guy, cut out the middle man and secure your future.

 

That's all very well but Hennessy has to actually pay the boxers. If the pot is too small he'll be digging into his own pocket.

 

If he does his sums he ought to be alright.

Put the TV money as a potential bonus figure in the contracts for the bouts.

He has got it wrong before. Junior Witter was paid 'a substantial six figure sum' for the Harris fight, despite there being hardly anybody there.

I'd say Mick's morals as a promoter are excellent - proper titles, excellent cards (until recently) but his business sense is sorely lacking.

 

hennessey should be realistic,its most likely gonna be a late start and dirrell is unknown to casual fans,he should accept the offer,if the fight does well he can negotiate a better deal on the next fight.

 

I know Froch has had millions watching his last two fights, but Mick needs to understand why. It wasn't down to Froch's name, it's down to the fact that there's plenty of people that don't go out and upon hearing a trailer for world championship boxing thought 'excellent, that's something to watch then'.

 

Americans claim that Froch has zero chance vs. Dirrell. Dirrell will knock Froch out easily and early. Biased?
