No-Go from HBO on Carl Froch v. Jermain Taylor

[Rantcatrat]

That is because, like Witter, he has absolutely zero economic muscle. That said, he is a far more exciting fighter than Witter and could work his way into a big fight if he keeps fighting the best guys available and winning. He is getting a late strat at 31, though. Also, keep in mind that HBO is who said no to this, not the Taylor camp.

Right they could shop it to Showtime if the money was right.

No, HBO has an exclusive contract with Taylor. He cannot fight on another network and HBO has final approval on his fights.

Is he still under contract with them?

Yeah, I couldn't find the details online but I believe it was for something like six fights.
