Hennesey will cut his nose off despite his face so to speak and go without any tv rather than give his fighter a platform to perform on.
As much as it pains me to say it Froch ain't a big enough name yet. The tv companies (the money men) will be thinking how many homes will watch this fight. Now, all of us will - that's obvious but the mainstream fan may not. Depends on how much is spent on marketing. Amir Khan doesn't have that problem. Olympic medallist, golden boy and has been known now for several years. Hence his fights get bought with out anyone saying a word. Hennessy needs to get real. I agree £100k is shitty but I hope he's not holding out for anything like £500k coz it wont happen.
100,000 is better than no money and no exposure. They need to realistic here, IMO. Short term loss for long-term gain.
Couldn't agree more. Hennessy's gotta be smart. A 100k ain't much but if the right marketing campaign is done and Froch does his media right and says the right things then they can stipulate a percentage increase in the contract. I'd love to know the web numbers for the stream they put together for the Taylor fight.
100k is better than nothing (especially considering the time its on) and with a great performance his money will surely be better next time. it can't keep going on.
Agree with all the above posts. Mick is a man of pride but he needs to realize it's a game of give and take at the moment. Plus fact he's doing Carl no favors in this tournament..if there was to be a close fight...all the other fighters will have tv backing and he will only have the belt to bring this competition.
When will Hennesey learn? He claims he was low-balled by all the TV channels for Froch-Taylor. Now its happened again shouldn't it sink in thats maybe thats just what the market thinks these fights are worth?
:yep There's a thread somewhere on here with people moaning about the under card cos they have to be in arena by 11:15 and the fight starts a 1-2am i think.
