What do you think??
I think i will pay as i think its going to be a cracker, but im quite dissapointed that this sint going to be on UK TV quite scandless if you ask me, i mean our WBC world champ fighting one of the top recognised fighters in the world??
I mean whats Hennesey playing at, i would fuck him off if im Froch not a great way to build your fanbase and popularity in your own country by paying a tenner to watch your biggest fight on your laptop. :rolleyes:
A tenner?? To watch it on my PC? Not a chance, just get a decent stream for free. I still can't believe that no network has stumped up the money for it, come on Setanta pull your finger out!!!
I am sure ITV will buy the repeat and show it a week later at a more sensible hour.
Another Black eye for boxing ! here we have the best fighter in Britain out in the states pumped and primed a hot favourite in a good Americans back Yard and Setanta and ITV don't wanna know .
Even casual fans were coming up to me after the Pascal fight and wetting themselves with excitement and ITV don't wanna stump up the ready brek ?
They'd rather we watch the next Simon Cowell gang fuck or Jade Goody's Will and Testament 3 hour special with commentary from Kerry Katona and Special interviews with Max Clifford and Dermot O fucking Leary rather than follow the hottest boxing talent to spread his wings and fly from these shores .
What a load of fuucking rubbishQuote:

Why dont you take your extremely hurtfull comments and keep them to yourself cos my feelings are not for hurting .
Well, if those comments were serious, they ARE fuucking rubbish!
How can Froch have a higher standing on world level than Hatton as a British boxer??
Hes only just fought his first world ranked opponent and has yet to beat a title holder;)
I wont give him any credit for beating Taylor either because I expect him too, I dont think Taylor is strong enough at this weight, he struggled with Welter weights, lost Twice on the trott a few fights ago and was flattened in One of them.
If Froch fights and beats kessler, Andrade or even Bute, then he can start singing his own praises:p

I hope Hennesey and co don't sell delayed rights to the BBC and tell them where to go. Buy it live or forget it.
The channels do take the pee out of Boxing and it's fans. Setanta was quick enough to use boxing to get the subscribers in when they had nothing else to offer. Itv a few years back ditched boxing for Premiership rights then when that went pearshaped they cameback.
Sky's 1st PPV was Bruno vs Tyson 2 - they tested the system out on Boxing fans and look where that got us - paying more and more often for average fights and bills.
Boxing gets decent viewing figures - always has but gets ditched at some point because greedy executives want more; and more often than not the channel comes back to boxing because good fights and fighters guarentee viewing figures.
Sky charging there subscribers extra on top to watch Khan vs the then unknown Prescott was an absolute disgrace. No channel picking up the Froch vs Taylor fight is a crime against the license fee payer.
I think David Haye would have something to say about that, but come on Ross was just replyng to dick who lets be honest has his tongue firmly stuck up Carls backside, i have nothing but respect for Carl for taking this fight, good luck to him.Quote:

Clanger please keep the school yard shittalk to your own forums.
as for Froch i think it stinks that no UK TV company has picked this up it makes me think that Setanta aint as focused on boxing as they pretend to be.
maybe it will be a last minute deal struck for a lower price because its a shame for UK boxing, Hennessy and Froch.
Are clanger and dick the same person?
Haye cant really argue at all, hes already been beaten by an old hasbeen, whereas Hattons only loss came to the best pound for pound fighter in a higher weight class;)
I meant for the title of the most exciting fighter in the UK not the best. ;)Quote:
