Since signing with Hearn they've given him a social media makeover and tarted up his media perception. So SKY Matchroom shows are sponsored by BetFair and oh look, it's Carl talking about how he likes to play a bit of online poker with BetFair! Fancy that! Oh look, he mentions his wife's twitter account multiple times a day, I wonder why he's doing that? He's interviewed on Talk Sport and he pauses then remembers he's plugging the show on SKY, who happen to have a "relationship" with Talk Sport, and he mentions his promoter's name and then SKY again.

Hearn gets them to use twitter as a promotional vehicle, and they shoehorn sponsors in all the time. Of course, it's nothing new but it's really clumsy and shilly.

I'm sure he cries himself to sleep each night and whilst his beautiful @rachcordingly lovingly dries his eyes he switches between @BetFair poker, his @FrochInc property portfolio, his @nottinghambs bank account, sends @EddieHearn a goodnight tweet and settles down to watch some @skysports.

That's all probably true !

Rachael in reality is a really nice, friendly person - not remotely stuck up and very down to earth. I can see why many would form a negative opinion after being Mic'd up for the Abraham fight, but looking back, we've all cheered our fighter on and said much worse. Especially when that's actually her other half in the ring and not just someone you follow.

i don't think anyone really begrudges Froch, the more PR type work he puts in at this stage, the more ability he'll have to make a few quid after he reitres.

Unfortunately she doesn't so I simply refer to my other half as 'that pain in the arse'

Filthy. Does she do you regular with the strap on, or is it just for special occassions?

He's good with PR, but he isn't massively clued up about boxing for me. He's all about media, everything seems very forced, he likes to use the media to try and build a following. The best way for me is to just go round the pubs and social clubs selling tickets, look good and people will come back and bring mates along with them.

Unemployed and single ?

I don't live in Sheffield but I imagine that there was a local press/paper/tv/poster/local business PR drive.

Contrast that with what happened with Jamie McDonald, fighting for a world title in an arena in his hometown...it was like a PR Ghost town.
