    over at the scene

    claiming that Bellew still has a promotional and managerial contract with FWP.

    Fwank gone lawsuit mad, suing everyone for everything. Even threatening the good citizens of this site with lawsuits if they dare type the name of a labyrinth of burrows used by rabbits and hares.

    Why not just let Bellew and DeGale go?

    Especially DeGale, who doesn't really sell tickets. Just cut your losses Frankieboy.

    With two earners off the books he'd have a much smaller mouth to feed.

    Why not let Cleverly go? He couldn't sell out his livingroom where as Bellew is a ticket seller.

    Well, yeah, but Cleverly is seemingly his man at present. He only ever has one at a time, if there's two in the same division one always gets ignored.

    No point trying to hold onto Bomber now, the damage has been done by effectively sidelining him and putting Clev in with busdrivers yet giving him the big publicity.

    Not sure what it is with Allegedly fighters these days. We've got Cleverly fighting bums, DeGale refusing good money to spar with Froch, Groves who is apparently the new Darren Anderton....

    Bizarre.

    Frankieboy is suing everybody, a lot of his fighters seem unhappy, and he's concentrating all his efforts on a fight that is pissing off the majority of the Boxing community. He is not winning himself a bunch of new friends lately, except perhaps with some on this site.

    Hope Degale and Bellew do get to leave, it'd be good to see them in competitive fights, plus it would mean we'd get more stacked Matchroom cards.

    tbh bellew isnt a big ticket seller, that was proven in his last fight, even with the supposes matchroom magic, he got 10000 that time because it was a world title.

    depends on if he's had to resort to one of those no win, no fee lawyers or not. They could be left to burn as well.

    If F.W. has a valid contract still in play, then fine.

    If he doesn't, then obviously it's bad.

    his last fight had to be pushed back by two weeks because McIntosh was ill, that would surely have affected sales.

    Just saw this over at the scene. Smacks of ol' fish eyes being a ****, to be honest. Reminds me of when he wouldn't/didn't pay Calzaghe for...was it Hopkins? Just when the old ******* was gaining a bit of respect for exposing the BBBofC, he reverts to type and shows his true colours with this little tantrum. His problem is that he'll happily let a guy's career stall when he has someone else who's more in favour, but VVarren hates the idea of that fighter making money for someone else. Just look at Degale: flavour of the moneth, than Fwank signs Groves, and Degale becomes sidelined. He IS still European champ, is he not?

    Knowing that Bellew posts on here I'd be very intrigued to hear his take on this, straight from the horses mouth, as it were. I used to think he was a bit of a gobshite, but changed my mind after seeing/reading him interviewed. Personally, I think VVarren is bitter that Bellew showed Cleverly up...would certainly explain why Clev has been fighting Armenian milkmen and the like since then.
