Thread: Froch heading to Setanta...?

If I was a betting man, I’d put my money on Carl Froch’s vacant WBC super-middleweight title clash with Jean Pascal being screened by Setanta..........

Froch and Hennessy heading to Setanta? UKfightnews.co.uk

I thought Hennessy signed with ITV weeks ago

Not sure what's going on but i do know i'm scrapping Sky tv altogether, getting Freeview then just gonna pay for Setanta Sports on top of that saving around £600 per year.
Sky is sh*t now and i still get half the Premiership games too on Setanta!

It's just bollocks all round having to pay for both Sky and Setanta.

As far as boxing goes - Setanta have the best world stuff, but there's always gonna be a craking Brit/Euro title fight pop up on Sky's friday night slot.

I do not miss sky, the only domestic fighter that I would watch is Dean Francis but that is not worth £36 a month.

Really hope Setanta mop all all the uk domestic stuff and bag Hennesy/Froch

AS long as it is aired and not on ppv i will be a happy man.

Cant believe not 1 uk channel picked up Diaz-Katsidis last week.

Kell Brooks is on sky. Still not paying.

Yes would have loved to see Katasidis fight but it could come on Eurosport 6 months down the line as the last Diaz fight was.

”In my opinion, the so-called soon to be World Champion [Khan] has from the start of his career been over-hyped and very carefully matched in order to create an aura of invincibility and sell an unrealistic product to the non-boxing public.

Thought exactly the same. Khan has actually had superior opposition to this moron.
