this is bobbins, they would have been better off giving this fight away to ITV than puttng it on some turd PPV Internet Stream

this fight was supposed to propel Froch into stardom not take him two steps back

Test stream isn't exactly the best image quality. The images just aren't sharp.

when this was announced it was obvious it wasnt going to be on telly.

It's either £9.95 on omnisport, find a dodgy free stream or fivelive, you choose :)

Yep I'll try and find a good free stream I usually do, if not I will potentially pay because I do really want to see this fight, but I feel a tenner is still a bit steep. fiver would have been right and surely would have generated far more buys and profit than a tenner which I feel is just enough to put a lot of ppl off bothering.

No, we may get a repeat screening on eurosport or something but that could be months away if they even screen it.

The thing that baffles me is HBO rejecting the fight when they showed Taylor V Washed up Lacy, Klitschko V no-hope Ray Austin and even the abomination that was Jones Jnr V Trinidad; have they no clue?

Yeah I always thought that Taylor was HBOs cash cow who had a contract with them.

Fivelive for me.

Absolutely disgraceful. Someone owes the boxing public a fckin explanation.
