    I just think he's an immature, pathetic little weasel - who acts like a big soft kid every time he doesn't get his own way.

    He can stick his WBO/WBU titles up his arse.

    See you in a few days mate.

    Apparently Warren tried to get the site shut down a few years back so the Mods are very careful as to what is said about Warren, can't really blame the Mods here.

    Edit.

    Wanted to share a funny anecdote about Warren and Joe Bugner, but don't fancy a ban.

    Frank Warren has singly done more for boxing in this country in the last 30 years than anyone else. From the shows he promotes, through his efforts and financial investment in improving safety at ringside in the wake of the Watson and McClellan fights, the tens of theousands he donates to charity, to the many boxers who have had terrific careers on the back of his promotional skills. The one post worth looking at here is that of Billy Nelson, who has first hand experience and knows.
    Yes, Frank has made money. But why not? He is the one who has to take the financial gambles.
    Let's take this show coming up at Upton Park. There has never been a show there before. Kevin Mitchell tops the bill ... last time he fought there were 2.5k at Wembley. Before that he was on a Khan undercard. Sky, in a monopoly position, are driving fees to promoters down .. yet he still goes ahead. He is taking the gamble that he and his staff can drum up the publicity to make this show a success, and for that we should be grateful.
    Warren is a boxing man through and through. Ruthless when he has to be, but with many more positive attributes than many of his rivals.
    Maloney has been quoted that he has never met a man so fearless in business.
    Perhaps many of those who sling **** are more than a little jealous.

    i think most have covered the reasons he's dislike.

    another beef i have with him.

    he rarely ever works with other domestic promoters to make fights.

    remember the british light middle scene of the early 00's.

    the fighters were spread out between different promoters and we never saw the fights.

    all the time hennessy promotes john murray he won't make a mitchell fight. :bart

    he's a bitter old man.
