    Where was this confirmed?

    Was hoping Sky or even Premier Sports would get it. Least we'll get it.

    Frochs been really undersold on these Super 6 fights. He's fought 3 or 4 of the best super-middleweights in the world on the bounce and no ****er outside of Nottingham and the boxing crowd knows about it.

    Mick Hennessey is a business genius.

    The problem is he always seems to be a really nice guy whenever I do speak to him. I always walk away thinking how he looks out for his fighters.

    Then I remember how much of an incompetent cod-eyed twad he is.

    Yeh, as a boxing fan I'd rather Froch fought undeserving bums defending a WBO belt for years on end on Sky PPV.

    I have the upmost respect for Froch, gets bugger all money relative to other fighters but yet throws himself into the grinder consequetively and usually delivers a great fight. If he keeps going like he is it's only a matter of time before he gets the recognition he deserves

    'Breaking news' is a bit tricky. We don't go with rumours because if they're wrong, you look like a tit and your credibility goes (e.g. fightnews). The source has to be rock solid.

    Then again, we broke the bit about Friday's HS bill being on Premier Sports, broke it that Rhodes was off the Birmingham bill, broke the cuts rule story which the Board is pissed off about for some reason, we were the first with the news from New York about Khan's weigh in kicking off because I went and sent it from the hotel lobby, broke why Tony Salam was really out of Prizefighter...

    We don't do too badly for a few lads who do it as a hobby.

    What I was really surprised by was that the BBC had Barker's withdrawal first. They rarely get anything first.
