...might win you boys a bit more publicity and props mate.

I agree - but have you also seen the Maloney "press releases" on her ?

Both are missing a serious opportunity in my opinion, but there you go - loads of people have commented, but they obviously do not listen.

There is some serious debate among some seriously intelligent people on here..

...bar meself, obviously

So come on HS and FM, get some feedback, don't just shovel this mediocre dross on our doorstep and then run away like a kid chucking a duff firecracker through an OAP's letterbox

You need us, act like it

To be fair Frank Moloney actually does get involved on occasion.

I know, the forum has had enough of this 'knock down ginger' rubbish. Their so unresponsive (Hennessy) that it feels like the site it getting spammed, rather than receiveing input from a team most of us want to do well. For a group doing so well with some parts of the media, it would seem that the obvious 'bread and butter' is being neglected.

Instead of a press release everytime Fury belches, just answer the question's being asked. Otherwise I fear that your prescence here does more harm than good to your promotional outfit.

Regardless of how you view Fury; he is good for British boxing - he gets press (because of his name, record, background and mouth....oh and perhaps Hennessy's overactive PR!)

He has a decent piece in teh Sun today for example, and he is boxing on terrestrial TV.

If you care about Boxing you would want him to do well.

Where did we say we didn't want him to do well?

PS Agree with a lot of this, but if they want people to have more care for Tyson Fury they should go about it a different way...

If you want to hear from Mick then he is an interview with him that I did yesterday. There are loads of other videos including one of the public workout, the press conference and one-to-ones with Fury and Pajkic but a certain chap on here only allowed two links a week from non BoxRec sites, well to he honest the rule only applies to some.

Well to be fair you are usually having a dig at him in one way or another.

I find your posts pretty self serving and pompous so I can understand why some promoters cant be arsed with the hassle of engaging with you, or the likes!

lets hope the amatuerish dicks at channel 5 manage to get it together enough to show the fight live ..without a breakdown

really shoddy and embarrassing last time

Pajkic is 7/1 to win with Ladbrokes. I find that crazy! After the way Firtha got to Fury I'll be having a few quid on Pajkic.

Well, not specifically.... but there is a certain amount of negativity surrounding Tyson....a lot of it justified. But I'm just saying that certainly for the moment we should wish him success for boxing's sake

Pqjkic looks like Jeff Fenech on roids

Here's the full Press conference, Fury is funny as always.

I'm amazed that tickets still available for this seeing as it's the first time Fury fighting in his hometown plus it's a bloody good card.

William Hill took in two separate bets of £5,000 on Pajkic to win. Big money for a big underdog.

No need to bring chambers2 into this is there!

It's fine doing interviews but if he wants to be involved in the forum then I think they should respond to questions here. Even if the response is to say they can't answer it, it would be better than ignoring it in my view.

Out of interest, how many links to boxrec do you post on your site each week? I have read your site on a vast number of occasions and off the top of my head I can't recall seeing any. I'm sure its nothing personal against you and your site, which does a fine job I might add. Its just that there are quite a few people on here involved with different sites and publications and there has to be a limit. There might be the odd slip but thats always going to happen unless you ban links full stop, which wouldn't suit any of us.

I do agree with Hooky on this one though, not so much about FM but certainly with regard to MH.

That is some big money. I think Pakjic is worth a few quid. He turns up in shape and if he can follow Firtha's lead he might be able to capitilise.

Only a fun bet though but i'm looking forward to another saturday night fight live on channel 5

Does anyone know if Flinn will be covered by 5?

Was it hagler2002

Anyone know if/when the card goes onto Demand Five after the live event? Busy on Saturday night but don't want to miss it.

From a man who only posts about the Irish? You're very limited, but you know that.

PS You made a comment about me being "self-serving" having just posted a link to one of your interviews!

Wasn't being critical of Fury, though I don't rate him highly as a boxer. He's improved though, and I'm happy to hold my hands up if that continues.

The debate was about lack of engagement with certain promoters and PR guys, not an opportunity to polish the chip on your shoulder

Ta

Pajkic is 6ft2 and dsnt have much of a bang

his head movement will be about the same as Firtha.

look for an ugly bloody stoppage about 8th or 9th

possible points win for fury as well.
