    Warrington and his trainer have said nothing when being ridiculed about the purse. Do you think he got the full $1,085,500?

    What you’ve forgotten to take into consideration is how much more they would have earned with Eddie.

    Much better platform for them without doubt. I not saying Frank done a bad job but just not as good as could have been.

    “Here’s a list of fighters who haven’t had legal proceedings or publicly dissed FW” is a strange argument ignoring the fighters who have had problems with him.

    There is no guarantee that they would earn more money. None at all.

    This is just pure nonsense. Using Dubois as an example- he went to speak to Eddie as well as Frank when he wanted to go Pro. Frank offered more money as a signing on fee and Eddie decided not to match the offer- Hearn confirmed this himself. Let’s compare that to a similar type Heavy at the time in Dillian Whyte who himself come out and said that he was earning relative peanuts under Hearn for the fights against Allen etc until he had the break out fight with Brown etc - so you have no realistic evidence to back up your claims. Not every fighter under Matchroom gets the financial benefit of the bigger platform on Sky at the start of their career unless they’re a behemoth like an AJ.

    I don't know. Making deals with your promoter to win the purse bid is nothing new. It wouldn't surprise me if he came to arrangement with Frank but this is not something I ask people. It's nothing to do with me.
    And for the record if kid is still owed from Frank then I hope kid takes him to the cleaners. He's done the fight he should be paid for it now.

    Most of Frank's fighters have done a lot better than ok.

    They all should, at bare minimum, be paid the agreed purse. No excuses.

    I don't see the benefit in Hearn lying. Why would Galahad even allow Hearn to say it if his been paid?

    If Galahad has been legitimately stiffed by Frank, then I hope he gets his purse and damages and I will criticise Warren. I will wait to hear the actual facts first though rather than just listening to Eddie has pipped up with.

    I really hate to get involved in the financial argument... but if Whyte was with FW he wouldn't be a PPV fighter like he is under Hearn imo.

    We know how precious FW is if EH had made this up then he'd be in court by now no doubt. He has previous of stiffing fighters, if he hadnt then maybe id be more dubious.
