Not much is the answer, I think.

Lenny Daws' first Westcroft fight was on Channel 5. His second wasn't on television at all.

All you need to know, really.

i imagine Mick may re-surface, clear his blow hole, then state that he is part of the itv or bt vision deal.

stranger things have happened, but he will need to re-ignite his stable list.

He must be so pissed off with Tyson Fury. Promoted the guy from the start no doubt investing a lot of time and money into him. He wins a unified heavyweight title and then when the huge paydays are due to come Fury goes totally off the rails and disappears from the scene altogether!

After they pledged their commitment to him. Funny how much the Fury family gets away with because, imo, they are active on twitter.

PEDs/Drugs/Pulling out the Ustinov fight on the day of it cause your uncle is in hospital,the fake injured ankle c/w fake photo plus all the
something-a-phobe comments that come out including the Freddie Roach tweet.

I'm sure there's plenty more.

Can't see him promoting anything of relevance again as the Parker Fury fiasco cost someone somewhere an absolute fortune. He'll be Hughie and Tyson Fury's manager IF he fights again.

Ths guy had Carl Froch, Tyson Fury, James Degale, Darren Barker, Kid Galahad , Chris Eubank Jr and a whole host of decent british/euro level fighters like Lenny Daws. Great stable but just couldn't keep his fighters.

You can mirror that with Hughie Fury as well. Paid Parker big bucks in advance, promoted the heck out of the fight, couldn't get TV coverage so went the YouTube route and failed to recoup his costs, failed to sell enough seats, put on a miserable undercard and to top it off, Hughie lost :doh:
Oh yeah, and it was a stinker of a fight, but everyone knew that in advance :wave:

So fatty will just have hes name there as manager and promoter but in reality its the fury familys money that finances it all.

Surprise surprise he's trying to get the company struck off after the debacle of the Hughie Fury title fight. Financial suicide followed by a cynical attempt to get out of his debts without paying them. Looks like he's done it once before already in the past. Thic country is too soft on this sort of thing - think FW might have done this once or twice as well e.g. in the Calzaghe case.

Yep no real surprise, everyone apart from Hennessey knew that fight would be the end of Hennessey Sports, the guy is clueless but then again he did delivery “shades of Ali’ that night.

Just feel sorry for all those people who wont get paid now and looking on the companies house website it looks like he has done it with 3 other companies, its well worth a read and some shocking amounts owed.

I wonder if Hughie got paid for his fight against Parker? Guess we will find out soon, hopefully World Boxing News gets an exclusive with Peter Fury or when Hughie signs with BN.

I fully accept people have the right to criticise & express their opinions but I can honestly say I had some great times with Mick in the early days of him being a promoter.

What were the good reasons Spud, did Froch not get paid, was he effected by the other Hennessey Sports companies that went down?

I'm no lawyer, because I have friends, but can someone explain what this means in simple terms please?
Is he trying to wind down the company? Or just some assets?
