It's looking unlikely Rhodes will be on the Haye undercard...

and also took Bruno with the help of Don King to face Tyson in his first defence for a payday of

£ 4.5 million

 

Hayemaker Promotions will probaly cease to exist in a couple of years time

While Warren will still be there.

 

I'm not going into drawn out details.
But just briefly, there are two sides.

What the column doesn’t tell you is that this was a one off offer. To a fighter that Hayemaker have no promotional ties to.
Hayemaker’s offer was TEN THOUSAND POUNDS MORE than what the writer of this column had offered Rhodes and yet they asked for an extra TEN THOUSAND ON TOP OF THAT.
Hayemaker had made clear that they wanted NO OPTIONS on Rhodes and this was a one off contest to get him out seeing as though there had been no other offers of dates for him.
Ryan Rhodes was free to go and box for whoever he liked after this contest.
As for the opponent, they knew who the opponents were that we were trying to line up, and in fact they were also trying someone themselves as we were co-operating on the matter until we received the response.

Also, as there are 'talks' concerning a possible world title shot, we were informed that Ryan could pull out at short notice which is understandable, but, for us to go into a show knowing we could lose a main support bout wasn't a position we could take.

Another point that isn't mentioned is that they also wanted THREE options on the opponent. Fine by us, but the the favoured opponent's management wanted no part of it.

 

When are people going to realise Mr Warren's column in the Sun every week is just a platform to peddle his own propaganda - its a disgrace

 

ATTN: Mods, ban Flint again. Thanks

 

Im not sure why people have this negative opinion of warren? For all i've seen, he's done what any good promotor would do. Builds up his young up-and-coming fighters, pads theirs records abit, then eventually when the times right, gets them a world title shot, then after all is said and done, they always seem to end up leaving him.

Why do people hate him for that? :think

I know i'd much rather be promoted by warren than maloney.

 

He was doing so well too

 

I don't have a problem with Warren as such, he's good at what he does. I am however not a fan of his WBU/Intercontinental/Hatton/Calzaghe antics but hey he's a businessman.

His column though disgusts me when/if I read it every week. Heres someone (through his column in the biggest selling newspaper in the country) who gets a chance to tap into all the casual boxing fans, sports fan etc yet every week he usually uses it to either have a pop at fighters, promoters who he doesn't get on with, have left him etc or to build up his own fights, and the general public out there swallow his propaganda as if he were the law on boxing.

 

I agree with SK, I've no major problems with Warren per se but that column in the Sun and how it is used week after week is a complete disgrace.

 

I agree with you O' Connor.

But - its fun to read - as he shamelessly attacks his rivals like Booth and Haye

And he says things like Ricky Hatton was spotted in Burger King training for his next fight :rofl

 

I hate that warren ****, but he is still the NO1 promoter in the UK. Any young hot prospect should be managed by him

 

For sure.

If a young guy was turning pro - much better to go with Warren than Booth and Haye.

Warren will slot you in on his undercards - and allow you to slowly build your trade.

He will guide and manage you along nicely - while you make decent money.

He will then guide you carefully to a title fight - and make even better money.

If you really are the business and can become a superstar - you can always leave him at that point.

 

Hit the Nail on the head there mate!
