Really? Which Sky have you been watching over the years.
Look at recent shows though Gobbles - they've been excellent this season. Ali Shah v Glen Foot didn't even get a minute's coverage and that was a very interesting little trade fight

Sorry if its an unpopular comment, but my sympathy is for the fans who shelled out to see GAVIN fight.
He can walk away, the fans can't. No rebates for them.
shame your conscience didnt kick in before your recent vacation.

It's not looking good for him and it's a shame really. If a break is what he needs then he should take himself away and come back when he feels he can get back to it properly again.
It would be a shame to see him on lists in the future as one of the fighters who should have won world honours

They should have given Curtis Woodhouse the shot at Horta.

I doubt Curtis is ready to step in at 24 hours notice as he is in the middle of a training camp. Byrne, on the other hand had a fight last week which was on the back of a full training camp so is in proper condition.

Yeah, I get all that, but I'd rather watch Horta fight Woodhouse.

i would have jumped at the chance, live on t.v and for a title id have made the weight no problem and would of been good to go, by the time id heard frankie had pulled out dean burn had already stepped in, would of been nice to have been asked, but to be honest i probably never got a mention when this fight popped up, ill just leave the promoting to my manager!!

If what happened to Frankie happened to me, i would be suicidal. Who knows whats going on in his head. All the hype and pressure and moving around Manchester and London when he probably just wishes he could be back with his mates in Birmingham.

I don't know if that is the root of this week's shenanigans and Gavin has always been mercurial but finding out you're not the father of a child you thought was yours must be troublesome to cope with, despite what you might say in public. I had Frankie down as a future (genuine) world champion. I have now changed my mind.
Thats a terrible post to be putting on here ,Thats Personnel mate nothing to do with anyone on here.

Agreed that should be taken down. It's his business, not public gossip
