    bellew really thinks he summat special - his best performance was losing to cleverly who is regarded as 1 of the worst world champions around

    x2.

    Its been clear for a while that Bellew was moving to Matchroom.

    I think more boxers should have the Macklin/Collins attitude to trainers and promoters; move around, there's very little loyalty, there all trying to make money out of you.

    Khan was loyal up until his contract expired - he wanted to fish with the big boys in the states - Fwank wanted to go the Calzaghe route of fighting a hundred million bums in the UK and then at the end of your career claiming greatness - plus Khan has broadcasting deals around the world including the middle east, ****stan etc which bring him decent revenue to add to the cream he's getting from HBO.

    No offence taken, I posted mostly in jest but apology accepted. All good fun eh?

    Some of the people on here don't need educating they need putting out of their misery. I get the impression that half of them work for Bunny.

    If you see out a contract I don't see how you can have been disloyal. It must be a sports thing, football fans go on about this too.
    Once you've completed your contract you don't owe anybody anything.

    The only time fingers can be pointed is if someone has broken the conditions of the contract or refused to honour it.
    As the Bomber is staying well clear of these threads maybe there is more to come out in the press, or more likely the courts.

    I think its highly unlikely anyone is likely to attempted to break a contact with Frank without a decent case that its Frank who's not held up his part of the bargin. Its hardly like Frank is shy at going down the legal route.

    I'd pick Bellew over Cloud/Pascal winner.

    Why did Bellew even decide to leave? What did FW do exactly?

    Surely that is a private matter between Bellew and Bunny? Why does everyone on here think that people should tell the whole world about their private business dealings?

    On the other hand if Bunny chooses to issue proceedings then the whole world will find out, as happened with Calzaghe but, that is up to Bunny to decide, not us.

    Who gives a rat's ass about what goes on between promoters and fighters etc, as long as the fights get made, I'm sweet!
