So who pulls out this time?...

Made me chuckle.

Oh I so hope this happens! Will be a fight of the year candidate already.

Is there any hope of this being on TV? If not then I think I'll make a journey to see this fight.

Hennessy must be confident of getting this on the box, if it isnt then it's scandalous, probably wont go ahead anyway.

brilliant, massive blow to FW's big show he wanted in March

Franks probably got Macklin a interim title shot of some sort or a bigger money fight.

Can't see this going ahead on primetime, so chances are it will fall apart.

Wasn't Ayling park of Sports Network (R.I.P)?

I will be really upset if there is no TV for this fight. This is one of the best domestic matches for a long while.

I agree,no way Allegedly lets this happen on a Hennessy show.

No TV them micky?

Macklin pulls out of this.

anyone know what the bids were?

Great fight IF it happens

That's a bif if though.

No way Barker pulls out of this. We all know what sort of 2010 Barker had with his setbacks.

The only way this fights doesn't go ahead is if Macklin declines it.
