Which UK TV Channel will be showing Carl Froch vs Jermaine Taylor?

[Davros?]

Got an e-mail today saying Setanta is the last hope but also that Hennessy has got to build bridges as he has been slamming Setanta.

The guy who runs Cobraboxing said that Mick was sure that Carl would be on Sky and even wanted it on ppv but was told that Sky wont be signing any exclusives until after the Hatton/Pacquaio ppv figures are in late summer.

He said ITV will definitely not be showing the fight live as it will ba at 3am and the money that is wanted by Froch and Taylor make it a no starter.

He said he got an e-mail from Hennessy saying

"Dont worry Cobra fans we are close to making a deal with 5-live to have the fight broadcast live on radio 5-live"


The guy said that Hennessy told ITV to go jump as he thought a Sky deal could be reached now that isnt happening i think ITV have had enough of building fighters only to have them leave when the big fights happen.

Hennessey is an idiot he had a good deal with ITV and fighters always get more fans when there on there, just look what happened to Calzaghe when he was on ITV he was a nobody before and now he is a big name, There is no way that a Froch PPV would sell much more than 10,000 imo, Hennessey is a typical promoter thinking of short term gains over a long term investment.

Could have put on a good card with Witter on the under-card but didnt.

I agree with this he could have built up a fanbase by fighting for itv then when the time is right make higher demands. Anyone that thinks Froch will sell many PPV's in the UK is delusional.

I for one will not be staying up till the early hours in the morning to listen to a radio station.

Why would anyone do that?

We live in the modern world now, there will be streams about.


Radio lmfao,

"Hey ma, get up and listen to Carl Froch's fight on the wireless"

Fair point,

I would stay up and look for a stream, but they wouldnt be trying to strike a deal with 5live radio if they didnt expect people to tune in.
