Harlem Eubank Show

Bring back Mick Hennessy

 

The only reason that channel 5 have a contract with Wasserman must be so they don’t have to do anything but provide the time slot. It would make much more sense to let any promoter, small or large, put together a show and let 5 decide whether it is good enough or not. A bit like Sky used to with the Friday Fight Nights of yesteryear. That would almost guarantee a British title fight or better on every broadcast. Wasserman ( Sauerland ) have never had a decent stable throughout their time with 5 so it’s no surprise to anyone that their offerings are so bad. It’s only 5 or 6 shows a year. Surely they can conjure up something better than Harlem Eubank in a 10 rounder.

 

They could have at least stuck Tommy Fury v Darren Till on the undercard.

 

How does Wassermans deal work with DAZN if they still do shows for C5?

 

Basically if its worthless it goes on C5

Any monetary value and it's on DAZN

Since the Eastern European boxing cards died a death they have been hustling big time

The boxing series was a great idea and for most purposes excucuted well

Since then it's been pretty crap from them
They don't even have Eubank now

 

Don’t think they run their own shows on DAZN anymore do they?

 

Only a 90 minute slot tonight for the boxing- you get the feeling Channel 5 are looking for a new promoter or to exit the sport entirely.

It’s not difficult to do boxing on terrestrial television- decent 50/50 British Title fights aren’t that hard to come by to pad out the schedule and are relatively cheap to put on. Mick did this for years and he rarely put on a bad show.

Wasserman’s continued promotion of Harlem Eubank baffles me.

 

Mick deserves his Friday night slot back after sticking on many very good fights on Channel 5 in small venues.

Alex Dilmaghani v Samir Ziani in 2020 was right up there with the best fights I have ever watched.

 

The commentator during the opponent's ringwalk - 'he does not carry a great deal of power'

What an understatement with 1 TKO in 19 fights.

 

Eight rounds? This is poor given it’s one of the six dates Channel 5 have to broadcast boxing.

 

Cuddling contest so far.

 

Harlem looks as bad as Connor Benn without eggs.

 

Eubank must be due a point off, ref must have warmed him.about 10 times for holding.
