    Bloody Good idea Beeston. Do you mind if I use your idea when I'm on the studio ...obviously I'll give you the credit!!

    Seriously for whats it's worth. And my opinion isn't worth much on these things. I think the whole Froch debate needs to be put to bed now. I have no idea how much Mick Hennessy wanted for the fight, I know Setanta wanted it (believe you me the ENTIRE boxing team here would've loved covering the fight) and our money men tried to get the fight. But we can summise that the two valuations were obviously some way apart. We have contracts with 3 promoters, We don't have a deal with Mick, he does some cracking shows on ITV, last Saturday was a great example but this was a one off fight. We couldn't get it. I personally am as disappointed as any of you, but if anyone wants to point us in the direction of a pub showing the online PPV in Belfast after the Appleby Lindsay fight we'll be watching it with you.

    May and June should make up for it mind some great fights in the offing ...
