Froch-Taylor preview ITV 4 tonight

[GazOC]

18:30 - 20:00

Fuck showing the fight, lets just preview it.:D

[Rebel-INS]

Absolutely ridiculous.

[Bodysnatcher]

Jim Rosenthal: "That's it from me. We hope you'll be tuning in for the fight. On BBC Radio Five Live."

[trotter]

Is this a joke?

[Ilesey]

Why?

What's the fucking point?

[GazOC]

Nope, check your paper.

Maybe an ITV deal to show the fight isn't totally dead in the water, has Fat Mick started taking money for his stream yet?

For some reason they haven't added it to their schedules, although I definitely read they're broadcasting it.

I'm hoping that that's the case and the chance to get the fight on TV is still on the table. I don't see why ITV would promote a fight if it's not going to be on their channels, even if they have had Carl on their channels before.

It could mean they are looking to show the fight or it could just mean they have some Froch footage and 90 minutes to fill on a Saturday evening.

We'll see I guess...

[achillesthegreat]

itv are pathetic. they should have bought the fight and put numerous previews on itv1 for about 2 or 3 weeks leading up to the fight. Give people a reason to think 'wow, we have an undefeated champion who is taking over from joe calzaghe. his last fight was a war, he has power, he's fighting a top american'. all that sort of shit that gets people talking. market the damn thing. whenever something is marketed it gets people talking. look at when haye fought macca, numerous mainstream fans came up to me asking about it.

[BigEars]

I reckon ITV might like show the fight a week later(or something like that) if Froch can win.

They're probably still interested in showing him, but not willing to pay for these early hour American fights until he's a bigger name.
They'd have shown this if it was in the UK I reckon.

[GazOC]

Yep, I think they'd have def. shown it on primetime Saturday night with the increased audience.

ITV:patsch

Froch deserves better than this, Going to the states to fight one of their top guys and not one TV company will pick up the fight. I would have even been happy with a delayed coverage Sunday morning job like the old days on ITV.

Somebody has fucked him over this either Hennessy or the TV people, Can't figure out who's to blame yet, but C'mon It's the WBC Super Middleweight Title against Top Class opposition, It's a Massive fight!

[Fat Joe]

Duke McKensie reckons Jermain Taylor is not fast:patsch

[Grant1]

Only just seen this.

Is it replayed at all?

[brickfists]

is there any live boxing on itv tonight ???

[GazOC]

Only just seen this.

Is it replayed at all?

You'll catch the Froch-Pascal fight on +1 if youre quick.

[p.Townend]

Its pathetic.Even the euro channels like rtl and zdf seem to be ignoring this fight.I just hope somebody sorts something out before next Saturday..

[Grant1]

You'll catch the Froch-Pascal fight on +1 if youre quick.

Cheers mate.

Just found and sky plussed it at 12.30 tomorrow afternoon.

[Mr T.]

If they could even air highlights that wud good for following day.

[jcrh22]

you think they are checking the interest in the fight before putting a bid in, or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

[Carnage]

I think we should just leave it be resigned to the fact that this is a huge cock up, if we want to watch it now we just gonna have to buy it on net, or watch it, by other means(!!). But I've completly forgotten whos on the undercard, I remember it was a one to watch, can someone give a list of who is on it please, cheers (except Tyson Fury I think everyone and their mum knows when Tyson Fury is fighting!).

[Dom-baller]

vernon forrest is on the undercard, so is paulie malignaggi and some unbeaten prospect called danny o'connor

[Dom-baller]

oh and dominick guinn against some unbeaten power puncher.
any nottingham lads or froch fans gonna be at the weigh in?

[LHL]

Duke McKensie reckons Jermain Taylor is not fast:patsch

Duke McKenzie should only say "His legs have gone Jim"

Taylor has one of the best jabs around these days and im sure froch will see it first hand on saturday

Forrest withdrew a while ago. He then withdrew from a tune up on May 1st at a different venue.

With a name like that the kid will go far...:good

[JIM KELLY]

Jim Rosenthal: "That's it from me and Tessa, the spearchucker. We hope you'll be tuning in for the fight. On Justeens stream."
