Doubt it one planned for London in June. Cardle, Aston, Ryder are on the Froch bill. Kerry Hope EBU defence maybe, Anderson v TBA for British title as Groves might get stripped as he fighting for WBO next.

Is Froch v Bute going to be on normal Sky sports? NOT Sky Sports PPV?

Eddie Hearn confirmed on twitter earlier. This fight could get very good figures with good promotion.

This'll be on our time right? Not a 2am start for the American/Canadian audience?

I think someone said Midnight start for Froch vs Bute , Doors open at 6pm according to lady on ticket hotline so its gonna be a large undercard i hope otherwise there will be some pretty hefty gaps in the action

I know Showtime rejected the Froch v Bute fight and I don't think any other American TV channel has picked it up.
Therefore at the moment they will not cater for the American/Canadian TV audience ..... but that could change.

I just saw the press conference video and Eddie Hearn said that it will also be on American TV. He has not confirmed the channel yet. Therefore it will probably be a late start, maybe 2am.

Apparently they are going to make an announcement soon about stateside coverage. Will be PPV in Canada. According to presser.

It would dampen my enthusiasm somewhat if the fight doesn't start until 2am. I remember the Haye v Maccarinelli fight didn't start until 2am and I was pretty tired by about 1am and others around me were falling asleep!
