as for this weekend's scraps, i think sky have been advertising the top 3 fights anyway
So when did Matchroom put on Carl Froch then? I think you will find that ALL Promoters are running shows at a loss these days. Perhaps if you know the magic formula for running shows and making a profit you should take a licence out and do just that. You make Promoters sound greedy all the time which is so far from the truth. Promoters cannot make any show pay at the moment and that is a fat. Matchroom have never staged a show for Carl Froch PPV or otherwise, Mick Hennessy put the investment into Froch, Froch was the finished article when he jumped ship to Matchroom. You show me a Promoter who makes a decent Profit and I'll show you a liar.

There's no reason why all 4 shouldn't be shown live, they've all got the potential to be cracking fights.
If all go the distance, 3 hours isn't enough.
