channel 5 last saturday

Agree! Hennessey is probably putting British boxing out there more than any other promoter!

 

I think he does deserves the criticism but I think 5 deserves even more the shows are poorly produced and advertised the shows also so far have had a horrible carney feel to It akin to those awful old Cage Rage shows.

 

Better than boxnation though and it's free! :good

 

Hennessy's cards are awful.

I really wish someone like Hatton had gotten the contract.

 

And It's available in HD. :deal

 

I know what you mean about the production style but it could help attract casual fans, perhaps not the type of fans we'd want but boxing can't afford to be snobbish. I found the commentary and analysis pretty irritating on Saturday, but in fairness it's targetted at an audience with very little knowledge of the sport.

 

I got talking to someone who works for Richard Desmond, owner of C5.

 

Well that's not a question a usually ask people so I don't know. He didn't look the type.

 

I'm happy with main event and co-main event. At most, highlights of the undercards i.e. main moments and ko's. I have no interest in mind numbing undercards. **** matchmaking and no incentive for the boxers. Give the undercard fighters bonuses, the possibility of TV time etc

Can Hennessey ever produce a 3 hour show which can match a UFC or even Strikeforce card? He'll never accomplish that in his entire career so I hope they don't go to 3 hours as it'll turn fans away.
