hello, I have been reading what has been going on around here for a while so I thought I would join.

have you all heard the latest concerning hide and williams. there has still been no announcement concerning tv and a confirmed venue for the fight.
is harding in trouble with this fight, and has he named a date to fend off the vulchers. bbc are not interested and itv arn't either and that only leaves a possible deal with sky or british eurosport.

the fight is not on the bbc like the sun says.

i think harding has played with the big boys and bitten more than he can chew.

Jess is a shrewd businessman. I would be very surprised if he couldn't secure TV coverage for this one, but the next few weeks will be interesting. This fight has an element of 'jinx' about it.

do not be surprised if it goes back to purse bids, if doesnt then I think jess will take a big loss on the event. if it is going to be on 23 april then the hype for the fight should start now, the longer it is left the longer there is a problem. the fight interests the boxing fans but it is not such a big sell to the wider public as people would think. there will need to be a very good undercard.
