Wasserman x Channel 5

Looks like Mick is out. Wasserman deal I would imagine is for everyone but Eubank.

Boxxer/Sky had no deal just said they would work with them whilst they had no stable.

Be interested what the budget is as Wassermans stable is actually almost as solid as Boxxers

 

Justice for Mick.

 

Always happy to see boxing on channel 5.

Who do Wasserman have in their stable now?

 

UK based they have

Linus Udofia
Josh Kelly
Harlem Eubank
Nathan Gorman
Chris Eubank jr

Rest of the world
Mairis Briedis
Filip Hrgovic
Abase Barous
Denis Radovan
Christina Hammer

 

If Mick is out it's poor from Channel 5 and a mistake imo. He puts on the best cards £ for £. If I was Mick and it's true I would just become a manager of fighters, as he is loyal and passionate about them, is great at matchmaking and spotting talent.

 

Same. Why bust his nut trying to put on shows. He'd make a great manager - fighters best interests at heart and knows his stuff more than anyone.

 

Let's hope it's channel 5 doubling up...

 

i heard so much about loyalty from a certain heavyweight when mick was using his cash trying to push him
then its all bout a liar and some one who is as driven as the pure snow
see fwank remortgaging his house yo clear ya name and get ya cousin a platform
nah me neither

 

i agree but loyalty and boxing do not go together. There is zero in sport.

 

From the press release-

“Wasserman Boxing have announced today a broadcast deal with Channel 5 in the UK.

The multi-event deal on the free-to-air channel has been described as a ‘major move’ by Kalle Sauerland, head of global boxing for Wasserman.

“This is a major move that is going to revolutionise free-to-air boxing in the UK.” Channel 5 also broadcast shows promoted by Hennessy Sports. And with Wasserman now on their network it makes them a leading player in the UK boxing market.”

This deal is not exclusive therefore and Mick looks to be keeping his dates on Channel 5.

 

5 dates. Pretty sure I did see it is exclusive...

 

No disrespect to Mick, I’ve enjoyed some great fights in the last couple of years on 5 but he’s basically putting on MTK level shows and they are being given free to IFL. He’s nowhere near putting on a world title fight and any terrestrial broadcaster wants better than Sam Eddington fighting for an intercontinental belt….forever.
