Hearn just told the truth. None of Warrens shows create a demand for people to re-sell tickets. Warren bit once again. He loves talking about Eddie Hearn.
That doesn't make the StubHub scam he's got going on alright though does it, obviously. A good deflection from Eddie though. Snide ****.
He raises some good points actually. Joshua was always going to be massive whoever he signed with let’s be honest.
Frank smells blood....he’s an OG and a vet and quite simply Hearn has got one hell of a fight on his hands if he wants to be top dog in 2018
Warren just sounds old and senile. Trying to claim AJ was easy to promote is no different to trying to claim warren had it easy with Hatton and Hamed but that would be ridicoulas. Warren done well with those guys and deserved credit for how he promoted and built them into stars. James Degale was an Olympic gold champion and Warren didn’t exactly make him a star. Yes AJ was an Olympic champion but to think anyone could make him a huge Ppv star and a fighter who can fill stadiums is simply laughable. Now onto the nonsence regarding stubhub. People will always sell tickets. It’s capitalism and you cannot stop people selling tickets on the second hand market. I don’t see how warren can say it’s not realistic to see fights sold out in 10 mins. Concerts get sold out in minutes, festivals get sold out in minutes. Just because warren doesn’t sell out arenas in minutes he should be assuming nobody else can do it. Now another contradiction. Warren says Yarde v Buglioni is easy to make but then he says ‘it’s on our terms and only our terms’. How exactly is that easy? Not sure why his mentioning Bellew and Brook. Yes they with Warren but let’s be of them went into bigger and better things away from Warren. Both have made a small fortune and Bellew is still making huge money and it’s nothing to do with Frank Warren. He must be going crazy as he genuinely thought he could run Degale v BJS @ the Emirates. Lol, his losing it.
Old fish eyes is a relic. He needs to reinvent himself . Maybe become Frances Warren and go into partnership with Kelly Maloney.
Hearn has done a great job with AJ no doubt but let’s face it, as frank said when that contract is up its D-Day for Hearn. The best Eddie can hope for is that AJ renews with only a lower % for Hearn - the worst case scenario would be catastrophic for Matchroom boxing. Gold medal or not, there is absolutely no comparing Degale with AJ who is almost the perfect commercial package. In regards stub hub, there is a difference between me putting x2 tickets I bought face value on stubhub or eBay for resale to literally 100s appearing from god knows where on stub hub one day after a supposed sell out-I think that’s what frank was talking about and bitter or not he’s not lying about the Government inquiry is he? Buglioni is being used as nothing but an undercard fighter by Hearn who doesn’t appear to be interested/able to put him in a significant fight. A fight with Yarde however would be big news and a headliner on BT-I think that’s what frank meant. Frank did the ground work with Brook & Bellew untill he hit a dead end with them..Hearn has taken them forward and did a wonderful job with Bellew, not so much with Brook IMO but t least he has earned good money. I personally felt it was a non starter, but the whole Degale b Saunders thing was clearly just frank trying to engineer a big fight for both fighters and keep Degale on board. It would be a terrible fight so glad it’s gone tits up.
No not lying on the Government inquiry but Warren is insinuating that Matchroom provide Stub hub with tickets to be sold on the 2nd hand market without any evidence whatsoever. 100's will appear on stubhub as that's what happens with events in demand. People buy tickets to sell on. Warren says fights do not sell out in mins. Did Eubank v Groves sell out in a mins? Yes it did!! I have just looked on Stubhub and there are currently 514 tickets being sold for Eubank v Groves. This isn't a matchroom promotion but as I said its a hot event. Tickets are in demand so people will sell them to make a profit.
I've given up watching Frank videos now, I find them so tedious, all he does is slag of Hearn, and fighters that don't fight on his chanel.
Yeah Maybe, but what about franks comments about AJ, sky’s attrocious cards and reliance on PPV etc - are none of these things Valid?
A relic? Frank has the biggest TV deal in Europe Also his own TV channel He is involved with 3 shows in a week in 3 different countries. 2 of them screened by Showtime and HBO. That's no relic.
