Taylor v Froch not looking like its going to be on British TV!

[skel1983]

If this fight isnt gonna be on British Tv i will be fucking pissed off, his has to be fight of the year candidate, I think Hennesey is proving to be a second rate promoter if he cant sell this fight to Sky,Setanta or ITV, Froch needs to fuck him off, Froch is our only current World Champ.


No live TV deal has yet been agreed to show Froch’s battle with Taylor, an incredible situation bearing in mind his status as Britain’s only world champion and the fact that he is fighting such a formidable opponent.

Promoter Mick Hennessy said: “The TV companies have let down not only Carl Froch, but also British boxing because to not show this fight live is a travesty.

“I am hoping a deal can still be made, but when you bear in mind some of the rubbish that the TV companies put on, the fact that they have not backed Carl to the hilt is very frustrating. He is the best super-middleweight in the world and a credit to his country. For his fight not to be shown would be nothing short of a disgrace.”

Surely Setanta will pick this fight up?

Buncey is trying to get setanta to get the fight hope he does.

From what I've heard from various other forums is that Henessey pushed for it to be on Sky Box Office but Sky won't commit to another PPV before Pacquiao/Hatton. Plus I don't think Froch v Taylor would make the numbers they're looking for, even though it's a fight I really want to see.

Hopefully Buncey and Setanta will pull it out of their arse somehow at the last second like Marquez v Diaz, I reckon they'll do it

Also there's a good chance that Setanta or somebody else eventually shows it. As it gets closer to the fight the amount the promoters would ask for UK TV rights plummets. Somebody could well end up picking it up for buttons with a couple of days to go.

Fraud can't even be seen in his own country? Ha! That's to much
