any think this will be on tele? i know hennessey is juniors promoter but i cant see this being on itv4
First froch now Witter this is a joke i doubt this will be on anywhere even though the card is a very good one
Hennessy isn't involved in the promotion of this card, think it's a Gary Shaw/Don King co-promotion. So UK tv would have to do a deal with King or Shaw.
the fact that its taken 4 weeks for a post to be made about the fight not being on tv shows people really don't care. Hopefully a legal stream will be made avalible if not ilegal will get viewed. This would be a perfect friday night repeat card for Sky.
If Hennesey has half a brain he would of signed a deal with King where he could find UK tv rights. I said it was only a matter of time before another world title fight involving a british fighter failed to find tv. Remember the Hatton vs Mayweather UK undercard, it was awful, trully trully awful, they could of bought the right for the Elcock vs Abraham fight for 20p.
4 weeks since what? I made a few Witter threads to get people interested also seen a few on the general where Terryesb said Witter had a shaky chin because he avoids punches
Knowing Hennessy he won't have. He couldn't even secure a deal for Froch-Taylor even after the epic Froch-Pascal fight which was shown on ITV1.
I think Setanta would have picked up this card, due to them having shown Bradley's previous fight..... I can't see any current TV channels picking it up, unless its a repeat on Sky the following week.
Bit harsh on Hennessy for this not being on TV - if it were in UK then it would be on ITV at least. Who's going to pay out to get this live fight overnight when Junior's got such a small fan base against a bloke no one's ever heard of. A win gives Witter something to trade (ie a title) so well worth a punt. Froch seems to be doing alright despite not being on live UK TV last time!
