Does Primetime hold rights for all Super 6 contests?

[Chris W 1982]

Just a thought guys.

Lets say Froch was absolutely awesome at the weekend and managed to blow Kessler away with relative ease, would MH be able to flog his prized talent to other stations to broaden his appeal or have Primetime got exclusive rights on the entire thing?

i think they have it because no-one else wants it i dont think mick has a deal with them other than they get it because primetime is better than no TV

From that interview the head of Primetime did the other day, it sounds like they do a deal with Hennessy on a fight-by-fight basis. So theoretically nothing is stopping any later fights in the tournament being shown elsewhere.

Its my understanding Meaty Mick has the UK TV rights for any of the super 6 fights.

No they haven't.

I hoping now Khan left sky there room for another box office star; Froch v Abraaham is perfect sky box office material!

[Spud]

No they haven't.

I am not on about the major TV rights here for the tournament - I am on about the fights being shown in the UK - and if I am wrong on this - how come its only through Primetime the fights have been shown and its Meaty Mick who has done the negoitiations!!! ;;-)

Because Hennessy is in charge of selling the UK TV rights for this tournament, and Primetime are either the only ones interested in showing it, or the highest bidders.

I doubt however good Froch is against Kessler, Hennessy will struggle to sell it.
If he can't sell Froch after barnstormers like against Pascall and Taylor he never will, Froch has done all he can do

Do you pay by card to primetime, or do they add it onto your sky bill?

I think that if Sky were going to make their move for Froch - then they would have done it with his fight with Kessler, rather than any of the other opponents. As Kessler is more known in the UK (due to his fight with Calzaghe) and would have been an easier sell. I am afraid Sky have turned their back on Froch, which is a real shame as he has been fighting and beating genuine world class opponents in his last three fights.

What time are they due in the ring?
