Sky snub Froch Vs Kessler

[Gandalf]

Froch/Kessler deserves way more coverage than any Khan fight except for the Barrera fight and that is because Barrera is a legend. Anyone who has been paying money to watch Khan is a clown.

Froch/Kessler is a quality matchup and whichever way it goes we are bound to see a good old tear up.

Hell Froch-Kessler deserves more coverage than Haye-Ruiz or Con boy vs whoever. At least Froch and Kessler are near teh top of their division and are willing to fight each other.


Haye just punks out against the Klit brothers and we all know about Con boy.

Sky have us by the balls.

Thing is Sky know Haye and even Khan are far more well known than Froch and will both sell more than Froch. I think Froch should have his fights shown on Sky Sports 1 and as was earlier mentioned build his popularity in the UK and then try for the PPV slot.

To be honest though, Primetime is the shittest setup ever and I'm not one bit surprised he wants to go on Sky Box Office. If he did let it go on Sky Sports 1 he has a fan friendly style that would sell, but I see him getting beaten quite badly by Kessler and that would lose him any future PPV appeal!!

I really doubt theres much truth in this

hennessy doesnt do business with sky hence even when itv didnt wanna know chose to create his own PPV channel instead in order to screen all the super 6 fights.

primetime tv has showtimes 24/7 show around the clock from 7pm onwards and promises to screen every super 6 fight. Why the hell would hennessy go back on all that and give up potential PPV revenue just so carl can earn himself a few more fans.

Froch-kessler and Froch-Abraham will both be screened on primetime ppv, count yourself lucky for that as when he fought taylor it didnt even make it to tv period until the very next night!!!

i feel sorry for froch he travels to america fights a decent challenger in 1st defence in his backyard & doesnt even get shown live in britain then stars in this supersix event the best thing to happen in boxing for a long time then no one wants to show his fights

all i wanna do is sit in my frontroom & watch boxing but us boxing fans get fkd again

fk khan i will never pay for a box office fight with him in it, never!!!!!!!!!!

[ElTerribleMorales]

he should consider it a favor, this way no one in Britain will see him get sparked by Kessler lol

First off it aint Fat Mick's channel, secondly the PPV potential on that shower of shite is fuck all, the channel is a fucking joke, the Dirrell fight was aired free.

Well this is Hennessy's fault. Froch is closer to a Friday Fight Night boxer than a Haye/Khan/Hatton PPV one. Must be asking for too much dough.

Carl - the "world" champion - Froch is fighting the challenger, coming off a stoppage loss, in a place no-one has ever heard of called Herning. Yeah that's serious PPV material.

Froch's boat was on Question of Sport the other night, the panel couldn't even name him. He's a complete nobody outside hardcore fans
