    What the **** is this bull****? Britains only title holder and none of the stations are playing it? That's horse ****. Horrible for British boxing. Now most of his fans won't even be able to watch his biggest night.

    What a ****up

      don't blame them.
      Yeah, because those hard hitting, entertaining fighters who throw any form of defence out of the window make for terrible fights. Dumbass.

        Ricky Hatton might disagree with that statement

            Hennesey has probably priced himself out. The price will likely come down and the brits get to see this fight I think.

            It's a big fight for the world and even bigger for the brits.

                yeah i cant see it not being on, Froch's team will have a choice of accepting the highest offer even if they dont think its enough, or cut of their noses to spite their face and get no money from uk stations, and miss out on the exposure of a possible win over a big name opponent.

                  Exactly. All the exposure Froch gets by fighting a bonafide yank superstar should raise Froch's earning power win or lose. Hennesey will come to terms with a broadcaster for sure.

                    Setanta will probably pick it up if they drop the price. They got Marquez/Diaz 3 days before the fight through Bunce's request. His the guy who can ask the Setanta guys.
