    before I start, I like both fast car and uncle frank for diff reasons.

    However, with this news that’s leaked today isn’t it odd how NONE of the big pages or profiles EG boxing kingdom, KO Kings, Benson etc etc have reported this Warren Bankruptcy story?

    When a boxer is rumoured to of failed a dope test, social media explodes,

    I understand Innocent till guilty- 100%. But we all know that if these was another boxer or promoter - social media would of finished them by now.

    maybe they just don't know, i don't think Benson has any bias towards one or the other, and normally tweets any news he sees, Boxing Kingdom is just a casual div so who knows with him, and KO Kings, although very Anti-Matchroom doesn't really post that sort of thing, or not that i've noticed.

    Completely agree, for all the hate he gets, I like benson as I see things internationally that I don’t see on my feed, Box Kingdom is very odd and yeah your right KO Kings is anti matchroom but does mainly post “KOs”

    If you were signed to FW right now you must be concerned.

    Carl Frampton, Josh Warrington, Tyson Fury all have "big" fights coming up, if I was any one of them I would be reading my contract again and just checking where my payments are coming from.

    Not the first time nor the last. He is an accountant by trade.

    To be honest I think the average Joe doesn’t quite know what it means. I don’t.

    Frank has got a show in December, doesn’t seem to be in jeopardy? I haven’t read the article because of who it was published by but is it actually frank warren or Queensbury who’ve went bankrupt?

    It doesn’t even sound like the author of the article knows either.

    It could also be a couple of grand he owes them. Who knows? Bit of a meaningless article without knowing any more context.

    very true, just find it odd no media have reported on it, and warren hasn't put a statement out or closed the article down

    Frank will probably due them if they tweet something remotely harsh about him.

    The article seemed to be lacking enough specifics to really go with anything.

    Plus the one I saw was The Sun which, well, isn't exactly a useful source of information.

    The fact that it’s come from the Sun tells you all you need to know.

    That paper just reports nonsense, they’ve had an agenda against frank for years
