    Thoughts? Are we looking at someone to rival Eddie Hearn as a young ambitious promoter? Or the death of Warren Promotions?

    I know a guy that went to the same school as them. Same year as Francis (the fat one) and he said he is basically a complete wet blanket. He said his younger brother seemed a sharp guy and would tell the older one what to do and push him around even though he is a few years younger. read into that what you will.

    you gotta remember Warren's backgorund is working class, from a north london council estate, he came up the hard way and had to mix it with some very intresting characters.

    these two have lived in a mansion there whole lives, privatley educated. its not possible for them to have the same drive and ruthless ambition there dad has.

    whatever you say about frank warren you gotta respect the fact he has become a millionaire starting from nothing.

    All very true, I do have respect for the way Warren came through. Can't help but think Eddie Hearn also grew up in a mansion and was privately educated but he seems to have a real drive to succeed and seems pretty business savvy.

    ...He has EXACTLY the same voice.

    I know it shouldn't be a shock considering he's his son, but jesus...

    The older one has all the same mannerisms as Frank too, leaning his head back or looking away sometimes when answering questions then nodding whilst being quizzed.

    Not sure about the younger one, he might belong to someone else. Allegedly of course.

    They've both got that wet behind the ears persona like most sons of rich/successful people seem to have.....

    Mitchell and Webb - genius spot :rofl
     
  9. They will try and fail. The Dark lord has already cast his dark shadow on these to. He will not let them creep on him. With one fatal swoop of his dark hand and these warren siblings will be no more. The Dark lord giveth the dark lord taketh.

    It depends on the person imo. Some people who come from a good background are happy to cruise along on their parents success and enjoy the trappings of that particular lifestyle.

    Other see the success that their parents have had and that gives them a sort of drive that makes them want to forge a path of their own to outdo them. It is hard living in the shadow of a successful parent.

    I admire those who have money but try and strike out and forge their own path and own name even if it is with the aid of the wealth their parents may have.
