    Matchroom's expansion is hardly setting the world alight though is it?

    Not only that but he's a *****. As the comment about builders demonstrates.

    Because he’s a smarmy twat who thinks he’s better than the average man. That interview the other day where he was saying ‘you’re just a builder’ sums him up.

    Hope he does another as it’s hilarious how much Matchroom are digging their own grave.

    That was a stupid statement by Frank Smith. He doesn't seem very smart.

    Thinks he's some hot shot because he's Eddie's errand boy.

    He comes across as the sort of guy who rises up by being able to haggle with stupid people - like a market trader or a double glazing salesman. It probably works well in most of the boxing world and especially if you have the safety of Matchroom.

    You have to wonder if young Frank has been doing the haggling with Saudi, why the much-vaunted AJ-Wilder mega-fight didn't come off? Maybe met less-stupid people who don't just throw their money around like people assume?

    He solely was doing the ‘negotiations’ for AJ v Wilder fight to be staged in Saudi for a ‘bucket load of money’. How did they go then?

    Don't get the hate for Hitler at all. He has done great work expanding globally in other territories. He was at the forefront of doing the deal with Japan. He also has attended several meetings in mussolini looking to stage major events annually there as well as improving hitler youth there. Don't know why people call him a "nazi" when he probably does more work than stalin. Imo still makes him a dickhead bully

    Frank definitely snaps his fingers when ordering his G&T in All Bar One

    He's basically business support. That's his role. Emails, admin, contracts, talking to fighters on behalf of Eddie.

    Yeah he's done well no doubt. He's worked his way up but he's got no right to be behaving that cocky and arrogant. He will learn very fast, no one wants to do business with him as is the case with Eddie in America.

    Id like to see Frank start up his own boxing promotion company with his own money like a lot of other promotors have done and see how far he gets. It's very very easy to put on nice big fancy stadium shows when you got a very cash rich company behind you. If he had to start on his own, could he do anything substantial. I doubt it because he just comes across as a slimeball. Typical promotor vibe really

    Someone mentioned it already and it's a very good point. Did Frank cockup the Saudi negotiations?

    I also love how those two slimeballs over at Matchroom keep dropping George Warren's name into the convo, when they're insulting Frank Warren.

    "He should be in a old people's home, his blood pressure, he's too old, George is like me, he must be thinking what on earth is my old man saying"

    George will probably get sick of these two muppets. Not everyone would allow their dad to get disrespected like that, especially if someone like that smarmy Frank Smith is the one doing the insulting.
