Has hinted again he has a big development? Has seen in a few places Frank and Bob are teaming up, so guessing it will be this? Could make for some brilliant cards. Any other guesses?
I really can’t stand these announcements of an impending announcement. Boxing promoters are like giggling schoolgirls unable to withhold gossip. The best announcements of recent years have been the ones from completely left field like the announcement of Golovkin v Brook.
Warren just had Dubois in with somebody ranked 300 or something, you think he’s gonna put him in with Parker?
It will probably be what Warren did a couple of years ago promising "x" amount of live show for following year ( in which he failed to wcen provide half tge amount shows he promised).
Yeah, he said something like 20 shows on BT with a further 20 on Boxnation per year. He does nowhere near 20 shows on BT now and we’re all aware of the rotting carcass that is BN.
Most likely just a new tv deal as the old one is up. Its fair to say the gap between matchroom and Warren has grown somewhat in the last few years even though matchroom have lost lots of big names due to retirement in that period. Fury and Frampton fight on bt but they are nothing to do with them.
Bob Arum has said he is going to start promoting shows all over the world due to how difficult it is to shift tickets in the US. He has listed a few names, such as Crawford in South Africa, Frampton Belfast, Ramirez in China and Beterbiev in Russia. My guess would be Warren will have something to do with that, probably televising it through BT and adding his fighters to undercards.
The fact that this is now something of a running joke leads me to wonder if Frank’s time with BT may be drawing to a close. Let’s face it - he’s moved around a fair few channels has Warren. In the last ten years or so we’ve had him promoting Calzaghe on ITV then Setanta, Khan on Sky Box Office, then the likes of Flanagan, Saunders and Smith on Boxnation and now he’s with BT where his ideas about how many shows he’s going to do seem like a joke.
