Why hasnt any uk broadcaster decided to show the gamboa and juanma fight card,

  1. It'd be great for casual fans has there are sure to be thrilling ko's, which is obviously better to watch than a typical hennesy card. It'd cost next hardly anything yet would be better recepted by a british audience. thoughts?

    You teasing *******!:lol: In all seriousness, I can see why no broadcasters are showing this card; when the general population don't know who Froch is, then why should they know, or care, who Gamboa and Juanma are? I want Setanta to come back:|.

    To be honest we can't even get our own guys on the screen. Setanta would've showed it but no one ahs picked up the Top Rank deal.

    Nobody as the situation currently stands is going to show fights from the states in the middle of the night, involving guys only hardcore fans will have heard of, no matter how talented or exiting they are. It's gonna be a stream or torrent for me.

    How much is the TR deal worth?

    Bob Arum would rather get some UK money rather than nothing at all.

    the undercard is class. Duddy vs Munoz and Olandier Solis vs Monte Barret.

    i would happily pay £5 for this on the web especially if you could watch it the next morning and not stay up all night
