Been saying the same thing mate,
Hennessy getting ANY terrestrial TV coverage is a GOOD thing, brilliant, and he deserves lots of credit for it. I just hope the card doesn't dissapoint as we (the fans), boxing as a sport and all the people involved in taking this show on at chaqnnel 5 - really need a decent night's scrap to encourage public demand for more.

I can't wait for this fight but we just need to get as many people tuning in as possible this is a trial run for Channel 5 and having spoken to one of their representatives they need for it to exceed the 1 million viewers it usually gets in that slot for it to be a viable option for future boxing events on the channel.
So get the word out!

Slightly disingenuous - Judah has refused to do any UK press [because it's on Primetime] and C5 are only showing boxing with a view to building fighters for PPV.

I'm so chuffed this is on Channel 5. Well done, Mick, and the rest of your team. And also to both fighters and Frank Warrren for letting it go ahead.

Yeah, I agree - Hennessy has done really well here, he deserves a lot of credit for pulling off the C5 coverage.

Mick is the reason I want Fury to win.
I would rather be stuck in a lift with him than that lizard eyed fornicator.

It would have to be a large lift

However he really has done an excellent job with Fury - Del Boy which no only has he landed on C5 but he has also got it a lot of mainstream coverage through TV/Newspapers/Radio. Now if you compare this to the poor showing Primetime have done with the excellent Khan-Judah fight it shows that Mick's past problems with TV coverage may of been out of his control and more down to bad luck (ITV dropping Boxing / Sky budget). The Froch situation was always a fustrating one but he did land Carl some big fights and maybe it was the TV people who let him down rather than the other way round.
I would just like to add that i hope Fury wins, not because i prefer him as a fighter but i think he has the personality to be a crossover star which would be fantastic for the sport.

Well done Mick
Odd CH5 have gone for Al Bernstein, as he would have know zip about these two last week. Still, not hard to do the research these days.
Interesting CH5 are trailering Khan fight too.....delayed coverage, later in the week maybe ?

I'm not complaining, just stating facts.
CH5 are trailing the Khan fight because they ahve an agreement with Primetime!

So long as they replace the fighters that go to PPV with other ones, I don't care too much. I watched the last few rounds with 4 people that never watch boxing and they were talking about it, first time that's happened since I can remember.

Yep fair play Hennessy, just when it looked like his hopes were in tatters, he goes and pulls out Channel 5 coverage.
