    i know he can be a disaster of a promoter sometimes but with degale having the ebu belt hennessy having channel 5 on board it would make sense ..regardless of the shiteness of hennessys promoting with him having the ebu belt he wouldnt be far off a shot at a world title imo

    It would be the smart move for Degale to try and raise his profile.

    Could be a good move but you never know with Fat Mick, C5 might at any time get pissed off with Fury fighting crap opponents and dump boxing altogether.

    Put a clause in the contract - if Hennessey loses Channel 5, Degale walks.

    Hennessy gets there in the End look at Froch granted he wasnt on sky but got him the WBC title shot and in the tournament, but No anyway Degale is about to become old news if any boxer wins Gold @ 2012 there profile will be bigger
     
  8. It would be a throw of the dice, but why not?

    Nobody knows who he is, despite winning the gold in 2008. Still, it's his own fault, signing up to a deal which limited his opportunity to develop as a professional.

    All fighters should aspire to be on terestrial television, nevermind a slot that has been getting the fantastic numbers channel 5 have.

    He could be sold to the public provided he had the right fights given to him. I doubt whether the likes of us would be so forgiving about them though.

    With the young dynamic promoters around nowadays Mick Hennessy is the ****ing last thing De Gale needs , the man is incompetent

    If Frank can match De Gale's current purse's , he'll extend with Frank he'd be silly not too , he's contracted with him until 2013 is he not ?? , another year on top of that and then re assess

    Im assuming his issue is inactivity , a word that is being frequently used when talking about that stable these days , his guys are just not fighting enough !!!

    Hennesey or Hearn.

    Hearn would be the only man that could turn his reputation around and get people to actually like him.

    If he goes with Hennesey he will have to carry on the bad boy persona.

    The issue is will either of them pay him £100,000 for European title fights?

    What do you think Hearn could do to make people like him?

    Well he's made people like a cocky Naz wannabe nicknamed after a women's breakfast cereal, who had been convicted of assault and had never fought anyone good.

    Well people keep telling us DeGale is a great guy when you get to know him. So this dick head think seems to be a bit of an act.

    A soldier mentioned that he has sent a load of stuff of Afghanistan. Push stuff like that and when he talks about winning the gold he comes across well. W*rren is just out of touch and a PR disaster.

    People hated Froch at first but there mind changed when he start fighting quality opposition and putting on performances. No reason the same.

    Get him on twitter and talking to the fans. Get him on ringside analysing the boxing after a few elocution lessons. Get him even on this forum it made Tony Bellew popular as without coming on this forum he would be one of the most hated fighters in Boxing.
