If it has happened, and the contracts are signed, G0mez could confirm it.

does gomez have some sort of connection with Hatton or Froch?

G0mez is friends with Carl.

this is bs to be honest froch and hennessey have always had a solid relationship and are good pals

I can't see this one as panning out to be true. Especially with Hennesey having guided Carl in this 6 man super tournament...

It's just an ESB rumour folks.

I would be totally and utterly stunned if Carl Froch were to ever leave "Meaty Mick" - Hennessy has done a bloody good job Froch and he would be nuts to leave him!!!

Another thing Hennessy and Froch are pals - there is no way Froch would sh*t on Hennessy - not a chance.

Don't believe the bullshit they write like Murray was to replace Kotelnik

I agree it's probably crap - but wasn't this rumour started by someone working in the boxing community, and hardly hiding their identity ?
Why would you stick your neck out that far ?

Hi dudes, yep it was me who put that on East side.... heard it on the grape vine and while i'm very skeptical I thought it was interesting news and would be the perfect signing for Hatton promotions to get themselves on the map in a big way. They have some very good fighters now but having a fighter like Froch as the main man would be a great step forward for them. I've not heard anthing else about it thus far so its probably just a load of tosh but I made it clear on Eastside it was just something I had heard and probably wasn't going to be true.

Thanks

Jeff

That was mine too.... That was a bit of a lesson learned on my part I had been told that it was on so of course i'm going to share that information unless I'm told otherwise.

To even things out I reported Hatton leaving Graham, Khan leaving Harrison, Gomez signing to fight Khan, Gomez signing to fight Burns, The Prize fighter contestants, Brodies comeback, both Khans new trainers, Hattons new trainer and a good few others before anyone else so while i'm not perfect if your going to post something before its made official there are going to be times when errors occour. Unfortunately that error made the papers and Sky News. Thus the emphasis on RUMOUR re the Carl Froch/ Hatton connection.

And for the record I think Hennessey has done a great job with Froch. Froch is one of my favourite fighters and the only issue I can think of is pricing themselves out of having Taylor-Froch on TV live. Froch signing with Hatton seems incredibly unlikely but stranger things have happened in boxing.

I was banned for the Khan-Murray mistake on ESB but when I came back I told them I would no longer put any 'news' I got on there before it was made official and they have since encouraged me to do so....

Thanks

Jeff

That's fair enough Jeff.
What I've learned over the years is those to trust and those not to.

i was at the hatton show on friday,they got ricky and a couple of other boxers in the ring talking about there promotions,anyway they said they was going to announce some new names to the line up and that we would all be very surpised at the announcement because they had big names lined up.
watch this space.....

Who could be signing to Hatton then? John Murray is likely. What happened to David Barnes?

David Barnes is still with Hatton promotions but they apparently couldn't fing him an opponeny for the show.

nah carl wont be signing with hatton esspecially with at least 2 fights scheduled for the super 6 with mick maybe after the super 6 he would sign but i don think he would

When he's got two fights guaranteed why wouldn't he change promoter? It wouldn't make a difference to Froch if Hennesey- or Hatton promoted the events. That really has no bearing IMO.

The boxing rumour mill is a wonderful thing, and often the rumours started are fanciful - take this as an example.
However, the more little whispers I hear the more I'm beginning to think that Jeff is on to something here.
I think we all accept TV is vital to a boxer's earnings.
Has Hennessey secured anything for this tournament on UK TV ?
Not that I'm aware of.
If I'm wrong please put me right.
Now if Hennessey fail to deliver for the second time, maybe, just maybe, Carl will defect.

still no news on tv coverage for this tourney then.

Hennessy allianced with hatton that will get tv dates!

I can't see an alliance, Leforge.
Hatton is building his own stable, no need to Co Promote with anyone.
I think he's got 8 dates to fill for Sky - but there is big pressure on all Promotors from Sky that the billheader must be for a title - and by that they mean proper titles.

We need better quality matches this season!

do you have to be so patronising with everyone?
i know your claim to fame is knowing ryan,but so what?

Sorry mate, what's patronising about the post ?
When Jeff first raised this issue I dismissed it out of hand.
However it's given more credance the more it's talked about in boxing circles.
I can tell you the rumour mill was in full flow at Hatton's recent show featuring Brodie.
This is a boxing forum for fans.
That's what I am - nothing more nothing less.
As a boxing fan I think if this turns out to be right it's worth talking about.
What's patronising about that ?
As for your comment about Rhodes, what the f**k has he got to do with this ?
Do you work for Meaty Mick or sommat ?
Very touchy response but as a matter of interest what's your take on it ?
For the record if it turns out to be fanciful I wont be surprised.

When will Hatton annouce more signings do we know?

I see Crolla, Vassell, Martin Murray and MArk Thomson must have signed as well!
