Super Six UK TV deal announcment Weds?

Anyone know if this primetime deal is for the whole tourny or just this fight?

 

Well, if Kessler was at the press release then I assume there will be more.

Hope it's for the whole tournament. £12.95 ain't bad for the first two, less hassle then what I'm goin to have to go through to get to Nottingham and back (by myself!)

 

I think Kessler-Froch is likey to get on there but we'll just have to see about the others.

The problem will be that none of the other fights that don't involve Froch fights are remotely PPV worthy, and won't make any money if they are shown as PPv events, so wheres the incentive for Hennessy to put them on PrimeTime?

My guess is he'll show the fights he can make PPV money on (the Froch fights) and skip the rest unless he can 'double head' them with a Froch fight like he has with Taylor-Abraham.

 

Yeah, that was my thinking too. If any events fall on the same night as the Froch fights they'll be double-headed, but probably otherwise ignored.

 

Sorry, I understand that people are excitingly accepting this shafting from Mick the Dick, but I ain't.

The more people snub this kind of '****ing over' the better.

Us boxing fans are treated like mugs enough as it is - why the hell should we have to pay fifteen british pounds each time a big event is on? Christ alive I can't see this being bigger in terms of money or viewers than if it did end up on ITV.

What the hell next?

Fat Mick - hang your oversized head and twelve chins in shame.:bart

 

Only available on Sky is pish. Just basically like Sky Box Office but with a smaller market base to attract customers.

 

Wow, well that was a bit of let down. It just amazes me that none of the other channels were willing to put these fights on. Absolute disgrace for British boxing. There are so many people who would watch these fights if they were on ITV or something who aren't hardcore enough to pay £15 on a crappy channel no one has ever heard of.

What's the US tv deal? They getting all fights on Showtime?

 

Be interesting to hear Hennessy's take on things and whether or not the likes of ITV and Sky were actually interested or if he was just asking for too much

Think the Yanks have got the full schedule on Showtime

 

I dont think its a case of other channels not being interested. I think its more a case of mick being an idiot/power trip and wanting more money than sense.

ITV saw the figures they received for the pascal fight(roughly 4 million wasnt it?)..why on earth would they not be intersted again..

unless fat mick has pissed them off, hence why there getting out!:think

 

What a ****ing joke, as someone said thanks for nothing Mick. Most of the casual fans answer "who?" when Carl Froch is spoken about, now he's PPV that you cant even get on virgin media? Pathetic.

Froch wants to **** this clown off.

 

Mick does seem to be a shite promoter but at least its gonna be on TV, just need to find someone that has sky and doesnt mind a group of drunken idiots stayin till 3/4 in the morning! not defending mick but i doubt warren would of let n e of his fighters into a super 6 like tournament!

ps i hope we get the showtime commentators, they are actually quite good! duke and rawling are the only 2 brits i can stand to listen to.

 

Mick will say the ITV and Sky offers were 'derisory' and he was forced to do this to get Froch the money he deserved.

The truth is probally that the market knows what a Carl Froch fight at 2am is worth and was only willing to pay that amount.

(Showtime are showing every fight in the USA)

 

So what channel is it on?

 

Well I'll be watching it on Showtime.....:good
