    I'm not Mick, I'm just someone who can look at the situation realistically. Unlike the strong majority of the posters on this thread who seem to want the moon on a stick

    Evidently not, he's ****ed up.

    Yet again. The promotion and TV coverage of him since Pascal has been diabolical.

    He's way out of his league, just watching an episode of the super 6 documentary would show that, like a kid in his dads suit at a table full of sharks.

    Froch doesn't exactly promote himself either plus the TV deals aren't what they were in late 80s early 90s.

    Almost everyone know who David Haye is, mainly because he promotes himself superbly, Froch on the other hand is about as dull as a wet weekend in Inverness.

    Yeah he needs to go. I also blame carl for it. If he went with Warren he'd be on sky straight away. But h sticks with Mick cus there buddies.

    As I said previously

    "Sky are the only established TV station that are showing boxing and they're full to the rafters, what do you expect Mick to do?"


    After Pascal he fought a very good opponent (JT) on away turf, would you have preferred a Salita type opponent? ITV wouldn't cough up the money to show the fight live, so it had to be shown delayed

    After JT he entered the excellent Super 6 series which guarentees that Carl is in 3 successive BIG fights at least...... and the fight is being shown live despite the dire economical conditions and TVs apathy towards boxing.

    You want the moon on a stick!

    Couldn't agree more. Hennessey is 'two-bob' and way out of his depth at this level. Anyone know what he did before getting into boxing around 2001?

    You're right he'd be on Sky fighting 'Bum of the Month' instead of in the Super 6

    Haha I had that exact same thought seeing that, Sauerland was speaking then Mick pipes up and he just looks completely out of place.

    I cant imagine him having much power when he's sitting round a table with showtime and the Sauerlands. He's a nobody in the grand scheme of things which is why Froch fans got shafted on the date change.

    And now he cant even sort a good tv deal in his own country!

    At least then we would be able to do a proper like for like comparison with Calzaghe...having said that, Tocker was in his absolute prime when he faced Joe :D

    But probably more known/loved by the public and making more money doing it. Frank does deliver big fights when the time is right, he's not all bad...

    Has anyone beyond this forum even heard of primetime?

    Yeah, a big fight for a British fighter credit for that and guess what? IT WASNT EVEN LIVE ON THE ****ING TELE!!

    Haha, wanting one of britains best fighters on a decent tv channel is asking for the "moon on a stick"? **** off Mick.

    Pascal should have made him in this country, he's gone backwards if anything.
