    These two will be the demise of W@rren promotions! As soon as Frank hands over his company, Matchrrom will become the biggets promoters in britain IMO.

    Every domestic promoter should aspire to putting on as many domestic title fights as possible. British and Commonwealth titles do what they say on the tin - you are the champ in Britain or the Commonwealth. Walsh in a C'Wealth fight is a good start. Get some English, Celtic, Southern titles etc on the undercard and it has some real depth. Even some eliminators. There are enough belts, champs and eliminators for us to have stacked domestic cards every week.

    Tough ask that is. If I was a promoter doing a small hall show, I'd look for another night. However if it isn't televised, as long as its sold out then its good.

    Any promoter without a televised show should still record the event and put it online for people to buy into their shows. To make money, you have to spend money.

    Backup plan for when he throws a paddy with Sky and wants out of a contract.

    Or if he owes somebody shitloads of cash and doesn't fancy paying it.

    (I know this post will get deleted, but it was worth it.):tong

    Matchroom getting Froch was very very clever...froch trains at the EIS...speaks ti the olympians...bigs up Matchroom, they see what hes getting, the big fights and events he's in...maybe one of them will want McCracken to train him as well when he turns over after 2012...they see that the Beijing Olympians arent achieving much of yet with Wazzra...(maybe Fwank gave them too much too early...? - not like they had many other signing options that would match him is it?)
