    Apparently DeGale has been on TalkSport and confirmed he has left Frank.

    James DeGale is an ungrateful ******* but this is for the best. Fighters move on. Obviously he is pissed off that Frank signed George Groves.

    Someone mentioned the other day that Fiddy Cent is interested in him, it would make sense, an arrogant tosser like DeGale would suit them down to the ground.

    surely he would have to give up his European title to fight with TMT as he would be based in the US?

    wasnt the Frank /George contract only 3 fights promoting though?

    George will be on more and more GBP cards after impressing last time out. they have international rights as it is.

    Potential British match up in future - GBP and George vs TMT and Degale.

    3 years down the line from turning pro Robin Reid was world champion.

    Frank signing Groves clearly upset Degale. I also think Frank's relationship with Nathan Cleverly is the reason Bellew left. All sour grapes.

    It all depends on what George Groves wants. Frank will get him a world title shot; Frank will get him big fights in London. Frank, George and Adam Booth could have a nice little set up in the UK. Do they really need Golden Boy? George is doing well and is very respected already in his career.

    13 fights in 3 years simply isn't enough. DeGale, along with Gavin, BJS and others, should have been far more active than they have been. Not only that but DeGale's last fight was on some unknown card in Denmark, Gavin's last bout was against a guy with 40 losses and Saunders is up next against some Aussie I've never heard of.

    Frank is ruining their careers at the moment. They should all have fought more often, with more exposure, against better opposition and be looking at getting world titles. Have they all fulfilled expectations since they turned pro after the 2008 Olympics? I don't think so. It's not just them either, it's Cleverly, Burns, Bellew etc.. Frank just isn't doing a good enough job for his fighters right now.

    I don't like DeGale but I hope whoever he works with next does a better job for him.

    It's the best solution for both parties.

    Frank can't make any money off him and DeGale is unhappy.

    Bellew has every right to be unhappy with Allegedly though, if he Clev rematch wasn't an option he should have at least got Bomber some work.
