    Carl Froch admits the Showtime Super Six tournament rescued his career after the recession and withdrawal of television support threatened to leave him in the boxing wilderness.

    that is what am on about he gets no where near the publicity calzagie got even now calzagies gettin pictures in papers if he gets spotted outside of clubs froch gets none of that if you asked 100 people outside of boxing who calzagie was and who carl froch was 85% would say they knew who calzagie was but dont no froch imo

    a question to you ashish is Do you think carl froch has been badly managed and badly promoted and would of been a bigger name with a different manager?

    I dont understand why primetime dont advertise on other channels. PPV's do not sell themselves.

    Primetime just cant afford to they are a small outfit they cant afford to advertise big. Ther was a tiny column in the telegraph today saying that if Forch beats Kessler impressively he will get an SBO deal. Froch was quoted as saying that he knew that SBO was the best platform but primetime do the best job they can. I hope to see some better coverage over the next 2 days but im not that hopeful.

    look froch is a millionaire with a world title do you really think he cares, he obviously knows what he is doing more so than me or you are we wouldnt be on here. whatever you say warren has a few boxers who struggle with followers alot of other fighters carry others where support is concerned imo

    End of the day i think froch knows in the back of his mind that someday somebody is going to start chattin to him in a pub not have a clue who he is boxing will somehow come up and the stranger will go i think Joe Calzaghe was the greatest boxer of recent times up there with Muhammed Ali and Mike Tyson and Ricky Hatton and Froch will go home look at his super 6 trophy and unified belts and cry

    Contract ran out, and Hennessy signed a new one with ITV.
