    Does anyone know? can't find that info no where. Taken from the Hennessey sports site:

    THE OFFICIAL WEIGH IN FOR THE EXCITING SUPER SIX GROUP STAGE 3 AND VACANT WBC SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE BETWEEN CARL FROCH AND ARTHUR ABRAHAM WILL TAKE PLACE AT A VENUE AND TIME TO BE CONFIRMED.

    So what the ****??? this is **** poor promotion. Unless i've ****ed up and not seen the time, the venue and the channel that is showing it hehe. But this is the message they still have up.

    Hennessey is all wrong for Froch!! I mean come on!! it takes a bloody twitter post to spread the news!!!! WTF!!Froch needs to ditch this joker after this fight. Say what you want about Warren, but he has been delivering of late and knows how to sell a fight! I mean, 2 exciting power punchers getting it on, in the super six, c'mon!!

    Why does he need to 'promote' the weigh-in when the public aren't allowed in?

    Fat Mick is an absolute joke-but then again Froch isn't exactly Einstein for sticking with the nitwit.

    You're missing the point, Mick's general promotion of his fights overall are just of a totally shitty standard! Could atleast give updated information on what is going on during the build up. If he actually for once pulled his finger out and did a little more, he could rack up more viewers, but the guy is totally incapable of promoting big fights. The guy just doesn't give a ****.

    A fight of this magnitude and the weigh in isn't even televised. Would it have killed him to hook up a webcam even and just stream the damn thing? the weigh in is part of the build up and so give viewers something, afterall they will be shelling out £15 to watch the fight!

    looks like a recording so I guess the weigh in has already taken place. I guess taking in to account the time difference.
