Let's say the fight with Cotto doesn't get shown live on UK TV this weekend, then if I was Michael, I would leave the clown called Frank ******...would you?

Does ****** own the tv rights for the fight over here?

I doubt he'll leave the person who was instrumental in getting him the title shot in the first place.

Over on the Setanta website there's a mini-shitstorm from Jennings fans, people from Chorley etc, who are up in arms about the fight (possibly) not being shown.
****** is such a vindictive bastard. How can he deny the kid a UK TV audience for the biggest fight of his life?
Hopefully he's just on a power trip and will relent at the last moment.

i hope jennings pay isnt related to this being on tv over here. i cant believe ****** would not want this on tv. reckon its to do with ******'s sky contract.
or else fw wants an extra fee to show the fight on setanta.

I have a feeling that's the case, and Setanta are unwilling to pay double for the fight and who could blame them!

I think it shows what a petty son of a bitch ****** is. Seriously, the guy is a fucking CLOWN of the highest order.
We have a well liked British fighter challenging one of the best fighters in the World and ****** is so far up his own ass he can't see that he is damaging his own fighters exposure.
Well, I've said it before and I'll say it again. FUCK YOU ******, you sad pathetic cunt.
Should Jennings take a Dump on ****** Over TV Deal?
Yes

If ****** does not allow the fight to be shown i hope Jennins does leave him.People should boycott ******`s shows if he goes ahead and keeps this fight off tv.

Surprised Buncey hasn't been on to give the Setanta side. Hes normally spot on for keeping us in the picture. ****** turns my stomache.

Legal issues forcing silence I believe.
I would love to know what the deal is with Setanta, Sky and ****** and who can show what.
It's like a love triangle gone sour.

I can think of an example of disloyalty,
Denying a young British fighter, someone like Jennings perhaps, the chance to have the biggest fight of his career, so far, shown on a national scale because he fell out with the network showing that particular card.
I hope this example never happens.
I posted this in a thread a few days ago. I'm sad that it looks like this is the way it's going to be. ****** is a prick. He cares only for money, if he cared for Jennings even the slightest bit he would have sorted this out weeks ago. Two days til the fight and nobody has a clue whats going on. I hope all of Frank's fighters realise they mean nothing to him, they are pawns to be used to line his wallet.
Frank ****** has shown his disloyalty to his fighter and to us the fans who have put up with his shit for long enough. Whoever suggested a boycott of sports network shows is right on the money. I will never pay to see a sports network card again. Illegal streams or nothing at all and Fwank can go fuck himself.

It was me who said it and I'm glad you agree. I think we should consider stepping this up a gear. I'm going to post a thread in the Brit forum about this. I know the cynics will say "what can a little forum do?" and they probably have a point. But I think most of us are in agreement that ****** has regressed boxing in this country and we should at least try and do something.

I totally agree that the lack of a TV deal here is a disgrace and no fan of ****** but........
......Fact is he's delivered a fight at MSG against one of the biggest fighters in the world for Jennings. Got to think that the money that Jennings is making from this will help him 'hold his nose' while picking up the cheque.
So no, don't dump.
The fight is just being used as leverage by SN to sell other fights.
Surely he wants his fighters on tv??

Jennings should just dump over fish face Frank, period.

If this doesn't get shown in the UK, then that is a major farce and all involved should be ashemed of themselves for not making it happen.

I agree completely. And as you say what can a forum do, well maybe not much but I'm sure ****** has some sort of forum spies and if we, the "hardcore" fans make our feelings about this known then he may hear about it. It may change nothing, but I can promise that doing nothing will definitely change nothing.
Prize fighter time :happy
