    Talks to make this fight seems to be dragging on a bit and there hasnt been much more news on it i.e. when/were it will be can anyone enlighten me as to whats happening? Will FW will actually put his hand in his pocket and make the fight in Scotland?? Really hope so as this fight would sell out twice over no problems!!

    Seems as if scottish fighters seem to be getting a raw deal from FW 1st limond now possibly burns??

    were hopeful of news this week,alex morrison's trying to get backing from glasgow city council to help bring the fight here,if that dont work it looks like rickys got to go over there.eithier way rickys got the skills to win,but to do it in glasgow would be special as we would easily fill a 5 or 6,ooo arena here im sure FW will try is utmost as britan needs another world champ?

    If this matchup is being left to that old drunken wannabe gangster Alex Morrison? Expect the fight to be in Puerto Rico & Ricky Burns purse to be an HMV voucher & his BFH:patsch

    My heart sank big time when I read that Alex Morrison is involved, I was hoping Frank warren would be taking care of Ricky for this one, If you are reading Frank Warren, PLEASE step in & make things OK!

    Cos if its left to Alex Morrison... It frightens me too much to even think about it. Remember, this is the guy who slagged off John Simpson for GIVING UP the drink!!!
    I woud find the guy hilarious if he wasnt involved with our fighters, but he is, & every time his name is mentioned, I do this:|

    Hes a drunken old fart of the highest order.

    Is Alex Morrison the guy who has trouble with the law?

    is there a 5000 seater arena in Glasgow???

    Reckon it will go to purse bids and Warren will win it.

    yes rob,glasgows's not a little village mate like some people think,theres the SECC or Breahead both would be ideal personally i'd like to see it in the Kelvin Hall more tradition then move onto a bigger arena which burns,simpson and limond would sell out with ease.I just hope we get word very soon,i fully expect frank warren to win the purse bids for the fight hes quoted as saying scotland needs a world champion so im sure he'll back up his own words,ps Alex Morrison is working very hard to try and make this fight happen in Glasgow i just cant see peoples problem.

    Can Warren put on a mega Jock show with a load of top quality Scottish fighters? Which fighters of his are Scottish?

    I kind of agree with you on this one Mr M, the only big fights in scotland are done by Gilmour, and occassionally Warren. Went to one of Morrisons dinner shows, its like rent a gangster, and toy ones at that, they obviously watch too many godfather movies out that way.
