    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

    I think Froch and Hennessy are too far entrenched against Sky for there to be a compromise, and without a realistic competitor to Sky, this Primetime channel is the only option left to them.

    It's sad for Froch that his exposure has been dreadful, and that Hennessey has hamstrung him in this way, but he's got to make the best of the lot he's got.

    I'm quite surprised that he's stuck with Hennessy as long as he has!

    Although I cant stand Froch and think hes shite, if hed been with Warren he would be a name by now, he probably would have had a big domestic world level show down with Calzaghe after a few money spinning defences.

    Good resume but no-one knows who Froch is. He's on a par with Junior Witter, another faceless Hennessy "world" champion.

    Warren made Enzo Macc bigger than Froch has ever been.

    No but he's got his fighters much more money than their talent probably should have let them

    Exactly Froch the world champ was getting 200k fighting Taylor ( big name ) on live Showtime.

    Frank gets his fighters that sort of money for fighting local bin men in there local leisure centre.

    With Warren recently making a habit of losing his big names (ie Calzaghe and Khan) once the big bucks start rolling in, any chance we might see a defector to the Warren camp in Froch?

    Obviously it'd be a huge portion of humble pie for Froch to do so, but the man's prime years in his career are slipping away with him making relatively little money with Hennessey. To extend the gastro metaphor, would eating humble pie mean he was shitting money later on?
