What if Hennessy had a good tv deal....

Now Eubank Jnr has left Hennessy and Degale is also contemplating a move; I was just thinking what if Hennessy had a decent TV deal and was able to keep his good fighters; would he be the best promoter in the UK?

Imagine if he had kept Froch & Barker in addition to Eubank Jnr, Kid Galahad, Tyson Fury and James Degale.

That's some stable! I do feel for Hennessy but at the same time bar Tyson Fury his boxers have next to no public profile. Is he a bad promoter? Or just unlucky?

He just lacks activity really, whatever you think he done a great job matching Tyson throughout his career to date compared to the obvious example of Price and I think if DeGale can stick it out after 1 or 2 fights it could be a world title fight.

As far as I can see he isn't getting them enough fights- shame as he has a good thing going with channel five who are starting to do a decent job bwith their coverage too.
