Mick Henessey

[wrimc]

Does anybody actually know anything about Mick Henessey apart from his inability to get a tv deal. From what i can gather he started doing shows around early 2000's and had Froch in his stable but does he have a boxing background or a business background? Also as a new promoter how was he able to sign Froch ahead of ******, Maloney etc? Just interested really

[SteelTownCobra]

He is fat.

[Lee Mc]

He once wore a horrible light-blue polo shirt which looked like it was a size too small and from Primark.

[SteelTownCobra]

He used to breed terrapins.

met him at a bunce show and he was a really nice fella had a lot of time to talk and you could see he really enjoyed chatting to the fans, as quite honest about his own fighters aswell!

He signed Froch over ****** becuase he had courted him for some time. from frochs 1st aba title win he was interested in signing him and he went to the world championships where froch won bronze.

basically froch new he was henneseys number 1 priority and he liked that. where as ****** was after loads of guys including Haye at the time how he missed out on the 2 best fighters of that generation, he must be pissed about that becuase both sell tickets and our world champs.

[dondada]

He doesn't like talking about himself which is very unusual in his job.

I've only ever seen one interview with him which was in Boxing Monthly some years ago now.

[Will]

He used to be in the chorus line of Riverdance!!! (Fact)

[SteelTownCobra]

He once had a serious addiction to Sherbet Dips but was thankfully cured by Paul McKenna.

[Lee Mc]

Legend has it that this Tee-shirt was once owned by Mick before it became too small for him...

I spoke to him at the York Hall and he smiled at me upon hearing that I had lost my money due to them changing the date of the Froch fight. Kind of wound me up. I have always backed his door but I can't see what the hell he is doing at this point. If Froch were to go I culd see an exodus. Shame he does seem like a nice bloke but he has been a right fuck-up merchant lately.

If he had taken a reduced amount from Sky and got Froch vs Taylor on, Froch would be huge now and able to command the T.V. fees he asks for.

Was this at Nottingham show? i was there also but had to leave straight after sadly would have loved to have chatted to him. Seems to me like he is actually a v gd promoter BUT in the last year has rested on his laurels i mean he achieved a lot has had a few world titlists and a few fringe world title contenders built up froch and got him in super 6 and also gt ITV deal ahead of ****** + Maloney. But Witter, Elcock have fallen by the wayside Froch ha sflourished but his Tv deal seems to leave him completely outmanouvered atm

[chrisfinch]

His favourite food is fudge.

[Chinny]

In important meetings he tends to fidget and look at his phone in complete silence

It's funny cos its true.

[cheekyvid]

he believes the canadian market is the way to go for the future, dunno if hes right but hes well into trying to sell froch et al in canada

[Mandanda]

Speaking to a friend of mine few weeks back and he's around the se london area and he said word is Mick's mother died and he's taken it really badly and that's why he's got that tash.

I don't get his decision making at all...he's really frustrating because he wants his fighters to fight the best which some promoters don't but yet he gets them these big fights and doesn't secure deals with tv channels because he seems to let pride get better of him.

His father invented the question mark. And that my friends, is a fact.

He has an irrational fear of penguins stemming from when, as a small child, he fell into the penguin enclosure at the zoo. It took zookeepers several hours and several failed attempts to successfully retrieve him. Two penguins and a puffin were fatally shot.

[slipandmove]

heard sumwhere he used to promote kickboxing or k1 kinda evens b4 he started promoting boxing!!!

[portside]

a promoter not a protector, he,ll find a way round the tv problem, don,t underestimate him or his team.:think

[RF22]

Met him a few times, great bloke to speak to and he makes time to talk and listen.. His mother dying hit him real bad as it does to us all, I think this was around the same weekend as the Froch v Pascal fight..
Top man in my eyes

That was Rob McCracken's mum who died that weekend. That was emotional to watch. Gotta love the way Robert still did his job to world class standards and Froch dedicated that to his mum. Great stuff.
