totally disagree with Buncey about the TV execs being at fault for Boxing not being on TV.

Mick Hennesey deserves all the blame for ITV pulling the plug on him. The main events that he put on were mismatches 50% of the time. John O'Donnell vs Tom Glover was a joke. Darren Barker faced poor opponent after poor opponent. On the undercard we got Tyson Fury vs a fat lump every time, and his sub par prospects never once made a step up. And who can forget Phil Fury and the russian bird from Big Brother????

Carl Froch was a major part of Henneseys stable, and how many of his world title fights did they show..........................1. How comes the fights agasint Taylor and Dirrell were not automaticly part of the ITV deal at the same fee agreed for the Pascal fight??

Nobody can blame ITV for pulling out of paying for boxing shows after they got shafted with crap by Mick Hennesey.

 

Hennesey's contract was up with ITV and they were in the process of pulling out of boxing. They weren't interested anymore and Hennesey was asking for too much money at a time when the money pot was at an all time low. It's both of their faults really. The TV execs for not demanding competitive fights and the promoters for putting on **** shows.

 

Thats just crap. The Taylor fight was in april and his contrant finished in december. The dirrell fight was in October.

a promoter should have to be forced by a tv company to put on good shows they should be doing it anyway.
