A couple of observations/questions...

Why didn't this go on BN, I thought there was some kind of link up with FW? Even the commentators and presenter are regular BN guys.

Why have 'Book now' and the link to book the fight in the ring. If you could see that, you wouldn't need to worry about booking as you were already watching in some capacity!

First fight ive been to where you didnt need to queue for a piss. Most of the bars around the arena were closed and i never saw a merchandise stall at all. No Hughie Fury teeshirts?????

BN offered and Mick/Team Fury declined and went with youtube option.

Sort of shows theve all been riding on Tysons coat tails for a while

Imagine the cash Mick has lost out on with Tyson having a breakdown. A few world title fights and then a big one with AJ would have probably earned him millions and now this. Feel sorry for the bloke.

Dont ever feel sorry for a promoter. They are by and large a group of cock sucking leeches making money out of honest fighters that are getting punched in the face for a living. Most promoters turn up on fight night in their nice suits asking the fighters how many tickets they have sold. If one gets stung for a few pounds from time to time then good karma. They are generally the scum of the earth earning money off men that are willing to put their lives on the line. ( rant over )

Imagine the cash mick has made over the years without taking a punch in anger himself. ?
Remember that and those that have before you feel sorry for mick mate. Im sure hes doing just fine and if ypu list a few pounds i doubt seriously he would bat an eye. Cold mutherfuxxers these promoters

The prelims were free, although they were so bad I would have wanted money to keep my finger off the fast forward button.

When you put it like that, it's hard to argue.

The promotion was an abomination from start to finish and the fight a stinker.

Hennessy would have taken a financial pounding and probably has only himself to blame.

I feel a bit sorry for him , everytime i look at him i expect his bottom lip to quiver and him to buurst into tears .

That was the outburst of a man who has lost a fuckload of money.

Really? I can't think in what way that benefitted Fury at all.

Literally nothing about the promotion made sense. Peter even went to a lot of trouble to be allowed into NZ. At least they'd have got paid.

Does anybody know Hennessey's background? - eg. how does / did he make his dough, does he have other business interests etc.

I know that appearances can be deceiving, but he doesn't appear to be the most dynamic of businessmen.

Did you see the post fight press conference

Good question.

Does his business involve pies? That fat bastard isn't going to be brown bread in a couple of years if he doesn't reign the pies in.
