In a week The ******s have lost some more fighters, stable looks a bit bare. I was thinking about the lack of depth and talent. I rate Paul Butler, Billy Jo, Liam Smith, Liam Walsh. Any others coming through? And who out the list above will likely leave next?
Liam smith surely has to be favourite to join his brothers? And there's a knackers yard joke surely to be made here
Walsh seems likely to leave, his career is going nowhere with ******, needs to join up with another promoter as soon as
I don't see Chisora fighting for him again given Frank's ties with Fury. It wouldn't shock me is Hearn signs him to a three fight deal with the final fight being Joshua at the end of the year.
Aren't Eubank Jnr and Fury now part of the stable. That's two huge names. Charismatic and both probably World Champs in some capacity by end of 2015 EDIT: plus Hughie Fury will hop on board as soon as he needs bigger fights which will be soon enough
Furys got zero chance against klit, wilder is 50/50 and tbh can see him get chinned, and it's more a co-promotional thing Eubank is fighting for that interim title, which isn't a world title despite what wazza is trying to pass off. But he's a free agent isn't he?
Eubank is a free agent. Fury in his latest iFL video seems very disheartened, basically admitting that the Wlad fight is unlikely. He looks like he knows something we all don't know about the Wlad fight. He does apparently want to fight four times this year. There seems to be slight tension between Frank and Mick as well over if the Wlad fight does happen which channel it would be on- with Mick stating in a video that "they will explore options" with broadcasters if the fight happens. As I've said before, Frank needs to plan more diligently with his fighters, have four big cards per year and remain patient. He actually has been less defensive in recent interviews which is refreshing.
Before the recent Fury humiliation, Dull Boy Plodding Journeyman Chisora was clearly heard in interview in the week before the fight stating 'that all the good boxing is on Boxnation unlike the boring **** on Sky'. atsch An absolute hypocritical ****** if he ever shows his face on Sky again. Keep all the **** on Boxnation please :happy
FW will be ok..to some I guess that's not what they want to hear but whatever. Fighters come and go...Gavin is not a major loss at all tbh...it's great that Hearn has got a massive stable, not so good that the fights are usually 80/20 miss matches of poor quality. Frank Seems to be going for quality over quantity interms of his shows such as Badblood, Feb 28 and the Liverpool card-it must be more economical for him to do it this way..either way it's fine with me. Goin back to his stable...he has got some great young kids coming through as Costello, Keane, Petite etc Mitchell Smith is coming on well same with Liam Smith etc
How the hell can the bad blood show be described as "quality over quantity" - it had one decent fight that was reasonable calibre, the rest were domestic level fights and fury in a showcase as the main event - you can make that argument for the liverpool show but not the bad blood one
When it was first announced Badblood was meet with almost universally thumbs up by all boxing fans/media due to it's quality 'card of the year' was said by many. Due to past fcuk ups a lot of people (myself included) where braced for the usual BS cancelations but we didn't have any...everything promised was delivered including Saunders - Eubank which is a fight that only FW would be capable or would even dream of putting on. Some if the fights itself where not the greatest spectacle but that's hardly franks fault it's just how it turned out. I think you also need to think about how financially costly that fight card must have been..Fury, chisora, BJS & Eubank would all have received serious purses..Gavin was also on Big wages..the card was almost certainly run at a loss something no other promoter (apart from maybe Hobson) would dream of doing.
Running shows at a loss, especially one that is likely to be your biggest earner that year and probably the year before as well is never a good idea. That card without the fury chisora fight and the gavin skeete bore fest would have made good money for frank and would have given a good card
