It’s brilliant to see the Warren fan boys panicking I must admit. Was what Hearn said that bad? People have short memories, Warren was literally singing with joy when Whyte lost. And Warren pushed a conspiracy theory about Joshua having a concussion before the first Ruiz fight (on the same level to what Hearn has done questioning the extent of the eye injury) Get over it, Frank will never be the no.1 promoter again. If he ever overtakes Hearn, the same Frank fan boys will go back to hating Warren and rooting for Hearn.
Agreed. It’s a long road back for Warren. He better get on his knees and apologise to Joyce. It was disgusting the way he treated his own fighter before and after a big fight (with Dubois). Ironically now Joyce is Frank’s star attraction! He needs to throw his weight behind him. When Frank signed that BT deal the star names were Saunders - gone. Flanagan - gone. Warrington - gone. Frampton - more or less finished. Yards - touted as a massive prospect. Dubois - see above. And of course Tyson Fury who everyone knows is with Top Rank / ESPN first and foremost. Frank needs some new talent.
Are there really any Frank fanboys?. I prefer Frank to Eddie and respect him more as he comes from nothing and built his business up from scratch. That will always be more impressive to me than what Eddie has achieved and is ever likely to achieve. Eddie has a fair few but they are mostly under 25 and clueless about boxing. He just comes across as a smug t*sser to me. End of the day I just want to see good fights. I couldn't care less who puts them on. Just so happens that lately Frank has been putting on the more competitive fights. I don't care if the results might have negatively impacted Franks business or that his stable is weakened as a result. 40 years in the business and still relevant. He isn't going anywhere until he wants to go somewhere or drops dead.
Off that poster the only realistic one is Joyce Chisora. Williams vs Andrade will probably happen but 95% certain that if it does it will be stateside. Yafai Edwards could happen but it’s hardly one to set pulses racing. Sheeraz v Cheeseman? Behave. Sharp v Barrett 2 and Jenkins vs Benn are undercard fights at best. There’s not much for them to rush to sit down in all honesty.
