Snoops,

It's "OFF AIR" not "OF AIR", but I got the gyst.

This was very predictable to be honest. Most people said this would happen the same day as the BBC won the premiership back. I'm not surprised.

I heard ESB have drafted in a grief counsellor and put the British Forum on 24/7 suicide watch.

Maybe Channel 5 would be interested in having some domestic boxing to go along with what US action they show at the moment?

If this is official, Hennessy will have to show what he's made of now. The best promoters are the most versatile. Jess Harding was smart in linking up with Matchroom just 10 days ago. Is Hennessy up to the change? Are his fighters? How many will jump the sinking ship?
