    It was his comments this past week that made me post this and I suspect he's going to get worse. Firmly up his own backside.

    I'm wishing YouTube would allow some kind of word filter like most social media does, so I can ignore Smith, Spencer Fearon, Dean Whyte, Sam Jones and assorted others.

    It’s probably his younger brother or something.

    Sadly, an overlarge percentage of the chat around boxing revolves around the rivalries of the various promotions and the supposed strengths and flaws of the figureheads leading them. If attention equals sales, which it often does, then folk will trade on the appetite for rivalry. You could probably test it out by looking at the headlines on the IFL or Boxing Social vidoes and cross reference between those which feature a cheeky dig in the header text and the viewing figures. Human nature suggests a lot of people with little interest in Frank Smiths take on the next cards would click on a video where he's slagging off Shalom or Warren.

    The thing is, it is very one sided. You only have to look at the original planned line up for IFL live to see where their loyalty is - its practically an in-house media team

    With how inaccurate and laughable his 'sources' are, I doubt it

    Frank, despite the weak position he was in after sky gave matchroom a monopoly on the UK market, got himself back to pretty much equal footing.

    Eddie and his fat tea boy wouldn't have the grit to do that. Eddie's losing his marbles just from the fact that things are not going completely his way anymore and people have stopped treating him as the messiah of UK boxing

    Lol @ Shalom taking risks.

    Shaloms behaviour over the two recent purse bid pull outs is nothing short of shambolic.

    Shalom got exposed big time and deserves to be called out on it.

    Shalom can't talk smack about matchroom am not expect a response.

    What amazes me is Shalom did this knowing that Matchroom have the ammo in the chamber to expose Boxxer's actions in regard to the Jai v Richard fight.

    How the hell are you going to pull out of a purse bid then email offer to the joint promoter and ask them to "not tell matchroom" lol.

    Seriously wtf is shalom playing at. You may call it risk taking, I call it incredibly stupid.

    If it was Frank Warren he'd have it printed out ready and waiting for Umar to verify!

    I agree with this, they would have just shut up shop if that had happened to them.

    Love him or hate, Frank is as game as they come, sort of bloke you can imagine being homeless but still somehow rising back up whether that is by moral or legal means but he would
