If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

He seems comfortable where he is, and apparently earnt a decent packet anyway. Why bother with all the fuss, he does not seem like the type to be arsed with it. At least he knows when somebody recognizes him it most likely will be a true boxing fan who has followed him.

You serious?

This saying is usually reserved for things which work well. Froch's UK exposure is ok at best.

Rumour are that he will be picked up by Sky for his next fight at least

Carl mentions in this interview after the Abraham fight that hopefully one day British TV will show another one of his fights. So it obviously irks him that he isn't mainstream over here.

Lol your on crack, you know "more than" me? god don't be so naive son.

My job is promotion and it's common practice for promoters to stop other promoters from obtaining venue's, sponsorship etc.

Now go join the dots together.

I was glad to see Kalle Sauerland squirm during and after the fight.

What made me laugh was that both Primetime and the BBC kept saying wrongly that Froch would be fighting Abraham again in the semis.

They haven't even corrected it yet - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/9226185.stm

BBC is going right down the pan. Another example: Sports personality of the Year? Froch doesn't even get a mention. Respect to David Haye, but wtf has he done this year apart from beat up a couple of near 40 yr olds?

I am thinking more from the fact he is obviously comfortable with his current set-up, and does not want to ditch Hennsey, he would rather take him along on the ride, and why not, as somebody said it is him who has helped put this record together.

Predictable list as I expected, no Ian Hutchinson on there either despite his exploits at the TT which will likely never be seen again, Tom Daley again on there :shame:

Yeah, if he hasn't won it before, he does deserve one. Love to watch him lose though, but it don't happen very often

Froch is now the best P4P fighter of the last 10 years?

Who was so good pre 2000? Lewis retired in 2004.

no-one was putting Froch near this category before Saturday. I think a little bit of perspective is needed. This wasn't a Hatton vs Tszyu challenge, this wasn't as monumental as Lewis defeating Holyfield or Klitchsko or even (and dare I say it) Calzaghe beating Kessler.

Came across the Article which just about sums up the State of coverage for British Boxing and Carl Froch:

I'm not an anti-Sky person as they're the only broadcaster to stick with boxing through thick and thin, but I really think they've missed a trick in dissing Froch. He's consistantly in very good fights, he ALWAYS gives value for money.
