Don’t get me wrong. Watching Amir Khan on a Floyd Mayweather card, in the wee small hours from Las Vegas, was a wonderful thing. However, Wembley Stadium, full house, local rivalry, and during pub hours… well that was something else entirely. Sport-on-the-telly fans have been somewhat spoilt for choice for action from the FA’s headquarters recently. Culminating, you could be forgiven for thinking, with England’s parting shot before Rio. Not a bit of it, because Carl Froch and George Groves decided they would take their problem with each other outside. It was, unfortunately, a double whammy if you wanted to see what the organisers did with the place in 24 hours flat. Firstly, you’d have to be someone who has bought into the principle of buying lots of your sport. And secondly, you’d have had to cough up extra to watch it live on Sky’s Box Office service.
