    Just because you can't read don't accuse me of riddles. I was talking about Sky FFN only.

    Froch vs Mack and Bellew vs Miranda is better than 90% of FFN from 2010-2006 and that cannot be denied.

    Hennessy didn't secure Froch a TV date for the Taylor fight!! Should have literally given it to ITV for next to nothing for the exposure at that stage!

    Don't be disingenuous. If he'd done that you'd criticising Hennessey for not making Carl the most money.

    And then Froch went onto fighting on Internet streams.

    :lol:

    It really was a disaster for poor, old Carl. Still the heavy paydays from Showtime must have lessened the blow!

    Jonsey thinks he is above everyone on this forum because of a position he may or may not have in his career.

    "Go to school"
    "Its not my fault you cant read"
    "Somebody explain it for him"

    Just know Jonsey, we all visit the same place at the end when its all said and done. We'll be looking back waving at your sorry face.

    But......."Why me?" "What have I done?"

    :tired

    Hennesey did allot of good with Carl Froch but he dropped the ball in the end. That cannot be denied.

    They were lucky that Showtime happened to organize the Super 6, otherwise Froch would have been one of the worst promoted world champs in British boxing history.

    Tough times for Mick back then, Also from what i heard he felt Carl didn't help him with regards to press. He felt Carl didn't try hard enough to engage the press and would often be non plussed etc. Not sure if true but i remember hearing that somewhere.

    Plus as i've mentioned Mick's mum passed away around that time and i got told it hit him pretty hard. So i do have sympathy although the show goes on as harsh as that sounds but loss affects us all differently. That's why i'm chuffed for Mick that he's got a nice stable building again and he's still in game with a TV deal.

    I've always liked Mick, Maybe it's cos he's just a fat lad who's promoting fighters :lol:. The lad pisses sweat and drinks the fighters water :rofl.

    Nar, just saying we all go the same place. You are above no one. Not me. Not anyone. :good

    Dont go on like you are! A fast life will catch up sonny boy, believe it, because before you know it, it will blow up in your face.

    Karma is a *****.

    You talk down to everyone on this forum like you are some sort of god.

    I have faith though Jonsey, one day you will realize. You seem smart enough. Hopefully its before the **** hits the fan. :good

    I think there's more to it than we're aware of. A couple of nasty individuals who just had it in for Mick for whatever reason. Certainly that's what he's suggested in interviews.

    Getting Carl onto Showtime was good work. He kept him in the belt, he made him good money. It was the screw-up with the venue for Abraham, where Mick had gained "verbal agreement" with the snake-like Sauerlands only to realise they owed him nothing, that put the nail in the coffin.

    After that, the lack of UK exposure, the clear lack of a future once the S6 was over, and Mick's own limited funds were just the icing on a seriously mouldy cake. Eddie swooped on in with the thing Carl knew he had no security on post-S6: TV dates and a retirement pot.

    It's a shame that, after all the years they came up together, it ended so badly.

    When Carl suffered his first defeat was he with Matchroom or still Hennesey?

    I can't remember.

    With Mick, Craney.

    Froch won two world titles under Mick.
