    That’s true, good points but I was more referring to hearn actually pushing him as the main event over here rather then shipping him out to a US promoters show to get slaughtered by Kovalev - that’s not really evidence of great promoting IMO but maybe it’s difficult for hearn at the moment. I’m glad that Buglioni was being honest about his ability and didn’t take them and maybe that’s why he is hiding behind Burton to keep away from Yarde..but can’t say it for obvious reasons

    Not sure how Warren could claim BT sport has more subscribers than Sky Sports.

    Sky do not announce the numbers for Sky Sports subscriptions so again Warren chatting nonsense

    The Carl Frampton viewing figures were double SKY's Monaco show.

    Frank's reinvention is coming along a treat.

    Franks card are just as attrocious, if not even more so than Sky. Don't you think Frank would be trying to flog PPV fights left right & centre if he had any PPV stars amongst his stable? The bloke is a such a hypocrite.

    Shock horror. Frampton rates higher than an obscure card in Monaco. Who would of thought it.

    It wasn't an obscure card. It featured Chisora, McDonnell and Quigg.

    Oh come on they were in nobody fights while Frampton was having his big home return after months out.

    Its like trying to claim a victory if Liverpool vs Leicester on BT sport rates higher than West Brom v Watford on Sky Sports.

    You are not comparing apples with apples.

    The last time frank had a show with more than 7000 spectators was Haye Chisora?

    His reinvention is marvellous.

    Regardless of how Stub Hub tickets are sold IMO Matchroom should not be using them as a sponsor. By association, its not a good look for Matchroom.

    That I can understand but someone ask Warren this.

    If he signed AJ he would demand Joshua to drop Stubhub as one of his commercial sponsors? We all know the answer to that one.

    Carl sold out Belfast under Matchroom and Cyclone then he goes to Frank and it never sold out even with Jamie Conlan having world title fight on bill.

    Are you being serious? I need to ask because you and others seem badly mis-informed. Or clearly have an agenda.

    The whole boxing world knows the Frampton fight was a sell out.
