Callum Johnson interesting tweets

Yes, in the game the man whose name we dare not speak is known to keep most of his fighters way too inactive and most of them have to wait months to get paid after they do fight.

I've heard loads of complaints from his fighters over lack of fights and long periods of inactivity. Many will drift away. He's ruining a lot of talent. It seems he signs up as many as possible to try and starve the other promoters of talent and then just lets them stagnate.

It's a disgrace.

 

I don't know what you're other post was, but this one was bang on the money.

 

Does his contract not allow him to go America and fight there? or are his internattional rights owned to?

 

Thats an embarassing comment if your not joking

 

Blimey....didn't realise this was going on
Definately a sad state of affairs

 

This is what has happened I'm guessing..Frank realised Callum Johnson just isn't that good prospect and doesn't have a fan base, Frank won't waste what little money he has on guys like Johnson.

Disgusting.

 

Say its disgusting, but why is the promoter in boxing?

To make money and why should he lose it on a prospect that, as you said, isnt very good and doesnt sell tickets?

If theres a minimum amount per fight / per year and that amounts to a breach of contract, so be it, leave.

Would it not be stupid of a promoter to over extend himself financially and end up losing the whole stable?

Still its a shitty situation for a young ambitious lad to be in

 

Callum is a very good fighter yes but to think he'd beat Tony or Nathan now is rubbish sorry

 

But the thing is..young fighters who turn pro need promoting in there hometown..something Frank never does :-( Johnson is an exciting fighter so I don't see why he won't become a ticket seller.

Yet he keeps guys like Bradley Skeete busy..ish (Skeete is ****)

 

Promoters these days seem allergic to staging off telly shows.

No reason why fighters can't fight in their local version of York Hall for X amount per fight.

Even if it's five grand once every two months and something more a couple of times a year.... better than sweet FA.

 

Callum johnson should sign with tommy gilmour, ditch the saint george flag on his shorts and just promote himself as fully scottish

 

Fair point. Release him from his contract then.

 

Shouldn't promoters you know actually promote. Rather than relying on fighters to shift the tickets themselves.

Few years ago people used to say Kell Brook isn't a ticket seller. He was always on undercards or boxing at York Hall, even after he won his British title. Then he decided to sign with Eddie Hearn who used a bit of common sense and took Brook back to Sheffield. His first fight back in Sheffield was at a leisure centre and since then it's just grown and now he's boxing at the Motorpoint Arena in front of 4/5k fans.
