    I accept he is getting a WBO shot, but financially having 4 brothers on a show would be massive

    Kid has a mind of his own, he has done well with Frank. Why change?

    I think liams always been his own man within the bros. A bit of a rebel.
    And if frank was paying more he would of stayed put i would of thought. I cant see hearn not attempting to of poached liam away

    Why would having four brothers on one card be massive?
    And what's stopping fast Eddie from having three of the bros on one card?

    Liam is getting more money with FW, he's getting a world title shot at home as you mentioned and he's getting generally good treatment so leaving just to fight on sky in pointless fights (as Eddie has stuch a big stable he has to keep hem busy fighting affordable euro bums -see Martin Murray) is pretty pointless- he's never going to be PPV or anything

    Think your right mate, seen a tweet someone sent him asking why he hadnt gone with his brothers. He replied i'm not a sheep, i'm my own man and dont follow others

    Recently signed a new contract/extension with FW as well I believe - certainly in the last year or so after Paul jumped ship to Eddie.

    Can't knock how Frank has brought him on, he got a world title fight (a winnable one) and at home (unlike most of Fast Cars world title shots)

    James DeGale's a world champion/olympic gold medalist and he even has to travel for his first defence!
