    Frank W means business and he & BT have been putting together consistent schedules and delivering on fights like Selby - Warrington etc.

    They’ve also beaten Eddie/sky to the signature of Frampton and more then likely Fury.

    Eddie has been serving up utter crap interms of Saturday fight nights and has basically been relying on AJ PPVs and 1 off gimmicks like Haye-Bellew.

    He and sky desperately needed a lift imo and judging by the press conference Adam smith/sky where pushing hard for the deal to get done.

    They got that lift now by beating frank to get Khan and I’m glad to see the comeback is also not ppv.

    2018 should be a great year with OG Frank & Fast car Eddie doing battle outside of the ring.

    A head-to-head debate is a must. Really hope Kugan can sort something out, would be epic viewing. Can just see Frank's shoulder roll going into overdrive, temple pulsating from his head.

    The idea that Tyson Fury is some sign of coup is laughable.

    Who the fcuk cares about Tyson Fury when you promote Joshua. Joshua v Parker will gross more revenue than Fury's next 3 fights.

    It's a good move if Amir wants to actually fight Kell Brook. But if he doesn't want the fight he now has no excuse at all they have the same promoter now. Either way Amir is the loser

    It’s a great coup for Hearn. And for some reason I’m delighted Khan will be back (under any banner!)

    I think you'd be surprised at how many casuals will chose the Khan v bum fight over the Frampton fight. All of them outside of Northern Ireland basically. Honestly, especially after his stint in the jungle, there will probably be more.

    Sure the amount of people I've even seen comment on things on Frampton's social media asking who Donaire is and why he isn't fighting a big name/real fighter is absolutely cringeworthy

    Remember when Frampton fought on Sky his bills used to regularly get the smallest viewing figures. Not saying the deserved to get them but they did. He has zero support outside his local area or with hsrdvire fans another reason him v Quigg bombed on ppv numbers compared to all the other ones on Sky.

    Fury is a draw, not as big as AJ granted but put Fury in with the likes of Takam or Whyte and he could fill the MEN arena no problem.

    Khans / sky live viewing figures outside of NI will demolish Framptons there really is no real debate there. However it really doesnt matter with today’s technology - I will simply sky + each event and watch one after the other - happy days.

    I think fury is a con man and I’m bored by his antics until he can prove he can be reliable...however Hearn has been going on about wanting to sign him for longer then I can
    Remember and we know he has made offers.

    Also Hearn can’t just sit back and rely on AJ who’s deal is fast running out & the likelyhood is that Hearn will have to consede more power to AJ to get him to resign.

    You must be joking. Tickets sales at the MEN for Fury v Klitchko 2 were a joke. They didn't sell half the arena.
