I noticed on the live sport site that they've got a show that night from 8.15pm till 11pm. I'm guessing it's a Sauerland card but that is the same night of the Froch fight.
Just an obversation folks. Wonder if they'll do a double-header like the card next month when we get Povetkin v Estrada and then Holt v Bradley which I am really, really looking forward to.

I keep hoping Setanta will snap up Froch vs Taylor, but deep down I know it's not happening.

i've got a funny feeling that Setanta may jus surprise us with the bonus of snappin up the Froch v Taylor fight...

With it being in the States, does that mean ITV are out of the picture because of the time the fight would be on?
Hope Setanta get it, they have been behind Froch all the way, whilst sky sports don't even mention the guy.

Here, here. My error guys to begin with I forgot about the Appleby fight that night. If Setanta gave us Froch v Taylor on top of Appleby v Lindsay I'd be a very happy cat.

Fairly certain ITV will still have it. They've got the tv deal with Hennessy and Froch is his biggest name. With ITV being in so much financial trouble my guess is they'll keep it and pump the evening full of adverts.
Don't think they'll have too much of an issue with the time either - didn't they show Calzaghe v Lacy? Or am i way off?!

And how many Froch fights have Setanta shown??*
A bit of revisionist history going on there!
* Setanta have actually shown 0 Carl Froch fights. All of his fights have been on BBC, SKY or ITV except for his fight in America which wasn't shown.

With the Froch fight on apr 25 I cant see Sky doing two ppv shows back to back with the Hatton fight a week later.......or will they?
If Sky think they can make some cash out if then I believe they would do PPV every day of the week.

Froch wont be PPV if he is on SKY. It will be like when Robin Reid fought Jeff Lacy...

Either way, Lindsay Appleby, Lopez Penlarosa, Froch Taylor. Looking like another cracking night for boxing on TV

Yeah but that fight was in the UK, so it was at a more suitable time than what the froch vs taylor fight will be on (between 2-4 am).

ok I did my research and apparently the fight was at 2am, so my apologies to all of you who were correct, but I always thought it was on earlier!

Almost sure it was might have been earlier like 1-3 i think. Not 100% sure ill have a check
After a bit of research :lol:
The fight was staged at 2.00am local time at the MEN Arena in Manchester [Only registered and activated users can see links]
