    Will always have fond memories of Boxnation, i remember that period in November and December 2015 where they showed all 4 Middleweight titles fights in the space of a few weeks, think it was: Cotto vs Canelo, BJS vs Andy Lee, Golovkin vs Lemuix and Danny Kacobs vs Quillan.
    Also the other big american fights they would have with Barry Jones on coms: GGG vs Canelo 1, Canelo Chavez, a few more GGG and Canelo fights, and some Mayweather fights etc

    there was a period where their showing of international fights was top class, they were the only uk channel showing all the fights abroad pretty much apart from a few that Sky showed like some occastioanlly Ward Kovalev

    Yeah as much as everyone on here loves Frank now, you wouldn't buy a second hand car off him, would you ? As the old joke goes, if he shakes your hand, count your fingers afterwards.

    Exactly this bud, you would have to be mad to turn pro with him, absolutely no chance. A while back I was discussing this with some posters on here and most of them said they would. Forget that, not trustworthy.

    Nice to see them back however, it’s just another iFLTV / Matchroom type YouTube channel. Nothing new but at least it’s more content. :)

    Apologies for being thick but who is Alfie Warren ? I’m guessing he’s a relative.

    None on them are trustworthy mate. They'll all fck you over as soon as you're of no benefit to them anymore.

    I do like Warren though. Been impressed with how he's steered Nick Ball lately. Worked miracles with Yarde and Dubois too in that he keeps getting them title shots and earning them a load of money despite their limited resumes.

    This must be one of the dumbest posts I have ever read tbh.

    Putting aside the big names in Dubois,Yarde who are set for life, millionaires. Go and ask Ball, Chamberlain, Noakes etc if they regret signing with Frank - all of them are lined up to make an absolute fortune.

    Ok Frank lover, calm yourself. Have a conversation with Joe Calzaghe who I believe is still awaiting payment for when he boxed Hopkins in Vegas and see what he thinks. Also maybe a chat with Bedford Rugby Club.

    Ref those last 3 boxers you mention, it’s only because of the recent Saudi money and the only reason he’s involved in that is because of Tyson Fury who luckily for him, uses him as a promoter.

    You talk absolute nonsense. The Calzaghe thing was settled years ago and they are cool. Joe was no angel in that situation either- they ended up screwing each other.

    Ball, Chamberlain, Noakes etc have been promoted beautifully, with or without Saudi money.

    The only reason Eddie is involved with Saudi is because he looks after AJ….See how it works, which should be obvious, it’s the fighters who bring the interest/opportunities in this type of scenario- not the promoters.

    If that was actually the case then why did Calzaghe leave him to promote the Jones Jnr fight on his own in his very next fight and why did they put their company (yet again) into administration when he chased payment? Screwed each other, hardly. Just remember who is taking the punches and it isn’t the promoter.

    I never mentioned Hearn, why would you bring him up?

    Be deluded on it all you want mate, anyone with half a brain wouldn’t trust your man with a Twix.

    What are you on about, you’re repeating the same thing. The Calzaghe thing was donkies years ago & as I said, they squashed their beef years ago. Joe left as he wanted to cut Frank out of the Jones fight.

    Did you know, that Joe once took a young Joe Cordina to see Frank to discuss signing with him..that was long after the Jones thing. You haven’t got a clue what you’re talking about. They are fine with each other.

    I mentioned Hearn to point out how nonsensical your comment about Frank/Saudi was.

    Fury/Dubois/Zhang/Joyce/Yarde/Ball etc - if you’re reading this boys- DONT TRUST FRANK!!! …he won’t deliver anything and you won’t earn a penny.

    Ref the Cordina comment, yes I did know that as he was trying to stay in the game as he needed the money, hence why he did Strictly. I wonder why he was low on cash, what could have happened, let me have a think? Hmm….you deluded idiot.

    You are getting extremely animated defending a rat promoter, very odd. Like a fanboy or something. Ok let’s pretend he is a stand up guy and forget all about the years and years of late payments during the boxnation days. Shall we try and push for a Knighthood?
