    Its getting closer and closer and I've still heard nothing. You'd think after the Pascal and Taylor fights which were both up there for FOTY that the likes of sky, espn and maybe even itv would be battling each other to sign for the fight! I know Forch is'nt huge outside of the boxing world but with the right build up this fight could get a decent amount of viewers! I really hope Hennesy doesnt screw this up again.

    Tis a joke, and after the run of fights Carl has had he should be building quite a name by now

    Hennessy clearly is failing to 'promote' his boxer

    It is a shame Froch never went with Warren.

    spoke to hennessy after the fury fight and asked him. He said there was no deal yet but he was working on it.

    He'd better get a move on!!!

    I can't stand Warren but at least he gets the big fights and gets them on tv! Froch is a world champion and Hennesy couldnt even get the fight against Taylor the former middle weight king on TV! you have to start thinking Froch has out grown Hennesy, Froch seems to like him though...

    I've heard Mick Hennessy is trying to get a deal sorted out with teletext, giving updates and brief descriptions of every round. Failing this, he's going to use smoke signals or just drive about the next day shouting his appraisal of the fight from his car. So don't worry fight fans, you won't miss out.

    If Hennessy fails to sell this after his abject failure to sell the Taylor fight he really should just give up and retire.

    In hindsight Hennessy should have stayed with Sky (nopw that ITV have dumped him), he produced some quality Friday Fight Nights the season before last. And then there'd be no worries about not seeing Froch (albeit having to pay £15 for the privelege)

    fat Henny is as inept as an octopus on a motorbike, why the heck is Froch still in bed with this clown? did he save his life or something.

    say what you want about ole fish eyes but he would've got froch much more exposure and definitely a deal by now.
