    Up until about 6 months ago frank has been scrapping away to keep afloat for 5 years on his own small tv channel - he hasn't had the power of a major platform so I don't think it's fair to judge him about 'big fights' during this period

    Mate I'm not having a row with you. It's just that frank hasn't exactly been delivering big fights pretty much anywhere, never mind Irelandfor a long time now. HEarn has. Also Hearn doesn't have a track record of nasty fallouts with unhappy boxers. Warren does.

    Davis is virtually unknown here in the UK, to be honest he's not even a big name in the States either.

    Again though the fight was a mandatory, which is why it happened.

    Where are the big fights for Warren's stable? For Saunders, Flanagan, Warrington, Skeete? Can you tell me.

    I don't know why you're calling people who disagree with you matchroom bum sniffers. Hearn delivers the big fights, Warren doesn't. It's not opinion to state that, it's just how it is.

    There's no evidence to suggest Warren can deliver these massive fights Frampton wants, it's been several years since Warren had a massive fight - that's the track record people are going from.

    Mate, try to be objective that's all I'm asking. I like both hearn and Warren but it annoys me when people just spout what is in my opinion utter nonsense about Frank's capabilities as a promoter.

    So let's look at your list - 'big fight for Skeete' what are you expecting frank to do - bring over Keith Thurman or something? It's a tough division and skeete is not a marketable attraction. Frank tried to get him the Horn fight, but it looks like they want a softer touch. In the meantime, the best any reasonable person can expect him to do is get Bradley into a mandatory position.

    Saunders- This geezer is a nutcase, who most of the time doesn't want to box or he's injured. Monroe was a top 10 name in the division and all
    Being well they should get a shot at one of the big boys next year.

    Warrington - he's only had 1 fight with frank and that was Martinez who whilst a recycled name was still a decent test. The next fight is a final eliminator for Selby - there is nothing wrong with the way he is being steered. Aparently they offered Selby big money but he refused..let's see what happens once Warrington is mandatory assuming he wins that's the time to judge Warren.

    Flannigan- I make you right very dissapointing how things have been so far. Fcuk knows what happened with Verdejo -
    Arun said that he was happy with the deal but the fighter fcuked it off then the injuries- frank needs to deliver now.

    I think it's a more to do with what Warren demands of his fighters. I think his given BJS an easy ride.

    You look at how Hearn dealt with with Warrington. He wanted him to make a Quigg fight or Selby and team Warrington kept saying no. Hearn was happy too let him go elsewhere because of it.

    Would Warren have allowed Campbell to go and fight Lineres in the US after losing to Mendy. I'm not convinced he would of.

    Apparently Eddie is surging Ireland. He's done one show in 3 years.

    ...and Frank has done ????
    Couldnt even promote Andy effing Lee in Limerick ffs!!! Limerick - Andys home town!

    (Plus Hearn has Irelands top prospect Burnett too - and possible future Carl opponent in what would be a domestic blockbuster)

    The thing for me is that this is Frampton's last throw of the dice to secure big fights and his family's future and if he gets it wrong he'll regret it but also be reminded it for years to come.
