    a guy that stayed with warren for 11 yrs.

    then leaves for 1 fight.

    which turned out to be his last.

    and he's being accused of total disloyalty. :huh

    ludicrous comment.

    the man is so one sided it's untrue. :verysad

    Ricky went out and promoted himself. He got off his arse, doing after-dinner speaking and all that, though the downside of that was that he became a boozer.

    what a load of old claptrap.

    hatton was always partial to a pint.

    right from the word go pretty much.

    he grew up in a pub ffs. :yep

    he's making out he became a drinker thru his after dinner speaking gigs.

    rubbish. :verysad

    Thats what i thought.Warren being out of the equation adds a zero or 2.
    Moreover,maybe Joe didnt mind Jones having half the money.He maybe thought 'theres a big enough pot,let Roy have half,im cool with that'.

    His articles after Joe's retirement were interesting;He would shoehorn in attacks on Joe wherever he could,usually as tenuous nonsequitas.
    EG..'Great fighter Joe...or 'no show joe' as he was known,due to,...blah blah':roll:......it got absurd.

    where did warren find calzaghe

    warren got calzaghe to jump ship from mickey diff and come sign for him.

    why then with warren using tap up measures to **** up his rivals boxers contracts ,does he beleive in loyalty and that fighters should remain loyal to him ?

    when a boxer leaves him to fight for themselves or for another promoter , thats his business mantra .

    what goes around comes around and this time it bit him in his wallett.

    As Surreal deal suggests, Warren shoehorns in insults all over the place, he is singing Hatton's praises (to put Joe down, of course) but still has to attach a dig at Hatton while he's at it

    He can't help himself

    The man is a despicable ****

    Biotter as **** just cause he wasnt making money from it... 50/50 with Jones was a little stupid, but Jones was the big attraction in the US

    How long will this forum go no about Warren in the pious mightier than thou fashion? Apart from his goonernicity - i have no right to judge him or his fighters..If you want to make a living in the game then he is a good route to take.
    ..If you want to be 'internet renowned P4P NO1 fighter of all-comers' then perhaps not!

    What route would you push your 19 year old son to take??

    Every career move would be decided by an open poll on the General Forum.

    The management's main role would be ' which tune does he enter to ? '

    I can think of an example of disloyalty,
    Denying a young British fighter, someone like Jennings perhaps, the chance to have the biggest fight of his career, so far, shown on a national scale because he fell out with the network showing that particular card.
    I hope this example never happens.
