    Wondered when you would pop up. Are those figures true? He'sade £6 mil through boxnation this year if so? Domestically we have had Frankie Gavin in a town hall. Where the hell ha the rest of the money gone? No point boasting your making that sort of money but in same timeframe only putting on Gavin at Walsall town hall

    Nice article.

    If its right Boxnation have the Floyd and Khan fights then thats quality for the channel, no doubt he'll forge a link with GBP. Hopefully Trout/Canelo will be broadcast on there too.

    I'll be very interested to see if Frank can bounce back, if it means him and Hearn are competing on who can put on the best shows then its us that will win.

    ‘The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated,’ remarks ****** as he eats a hearty meal wearing a smile not normally seen on the face of a fish.

    1) BoxNation is the opposite of transforming the business.
    2) When has Frank transformed the Business before.
    3) Who is this "everyone" that he is giving the opportunity to. Certainly not UK Promoters.
    4) Sky are discussing adding more dates.
    5) £18,000,000 ****ing Hell!!!
    6) Been going for 18 months not two years.
    7) Why do you need a 2nd channel to broardcast fights when you only show 1 fight a week?
    So you don't own 5%. Theres 3 shareholders and only one of them with a sirname beginning in W.
    9) It was only a quiet period because you didn't put any fights on.
    10) 100,000 is an average audience for Sky fights.
    11) Well you have to deduct various costs from that £10 per month so the maths isn't thata simple but....OK you have £2million coming in a month. How comes your only promoting one UK fight per month? How comes you havent signed a big name since John Murray? How comes so many fighters are complaininh about non payment? Is £2million a month what you need to break even? How comes Hearn can sign so many fighters when at best he is getting 1/4 per month from Sky that you are from BoxNation?

    The latest Annual Accounts submitted to Companies House for the year up to 31/01/2012 reported 'cash at bank' of £9,823, 'liabilities' worth £4,155,228, 'net worth' of £-2,290,259 and 'assets' worth £2,074,990. Considering that since that date, Frank himself has admitted that subscribers numbers have dipped, yet the companys value has increased by £62,000,000? Could Frank have not reported his income properly to companies house and te taxman, which at to this would result in a long term prison sentance. Seriously if you had a company thats income is £24million with liabilities of £4million you would have every single investor in the world trying to buy it.

    If I didn't know who this was I would assume its a year 9 business studies student. Frank has always been a pathalogical liar but I think he has gone mental. I know he has lost allot of money in recent years and had allot of problems with his family, and his son Francis is a bitter bitter disapointment....but talking 100% deadly serious....he needs to be sectioned. He has quite clearly lost his mind! Because that interview was utter bull****!

    So Frank was eating expensive food and drinking expensive wine while bragging about it basically?

    I bet that is going to go down well with the people he owes money too or had to wait 5 months to get paid.

    The man is a moral less ****, fact.

    I wonder if Frank remembered to bring his fiddle with him to his posh lunch?
