    Taylor wants nothing of Froch because Mick Hennessy would win the purse bid and the fight would be in the UK.

    HBO probably passed on it because it would be a matchup of two quality, fairly youg operators for a genuine title.

    Neither of them are shot, past their peak and are being recycled for the third time.

    apparently hbo dont want to see froch at all not against taylor kessler or any top fighter you would think they'd hav learned by now that not all brit fighters fight in that stereo typical european style that everybody keeps talking about.

    all they gotta do is watch the pascal fight

    Oh, and neither of them are Golden Boy fighters.

    You could put DLH, Mosley, Hopkins against any bum and it would be on PPV at $55.

    They pretty much run boxing at HBO.

    HBO doens't have any interest in Froch, and I don't blame them. He sucks.

    How many fights are there for Taylor that HBO actually would sanction. Winky Wright has been mentioned but if he's not up for it then who else?

    basically i would like to know the set date for the purse bid so we can know when we will know if Taylor vs Froch will happen or not.
