Bunce Hour Frank RBR

It's nWo. nWo 4 Life!

We should start a group on here, the mBo. The Matchroom Boxing Order.

 

The whole fighters not being paid thing. I haven't seen one fighter come out publicly and state definitively that they haven't been paid. The only stuff we get on here is a friend of a friend has heard nonsense

 

Kevin Mitchell has said he hasn't been paid. He's been grumbling on about it for a while. Bellew said the same when he was still with Frank. Apparently it's the reason Groves has walked away now as well too.

BoxNation is struggling to and Frank is losing money a lot faster than he's bringing it on.

 

Is there some kind of number I can call to make a donation? Frank's little appeal on the Bunce mini-telethon really touched me. That poor man. Someone give that man a sainthood.

 

If Kevin Mitchell hasn't been paid why hasn't he started a legal action, surely it would be an easy thing to prove.

 

Because as dftaylor loves to tell us FW is a ****ing mercenary when it comes to court battles. I'm sure going to court is his avourite thing in the world to do, now matter what the case is. He just loves it and tries to drag cases out for as long as possible. By the time Kevin probably won the case he'd have spent so much on legal fees he'd been even more out of pocket. The best thing for him to do is to just run the clock down until he can get out of his contract whilst hoping one day his money does arrive.

 

Dwyer called them Matchbook earlier.

Experience counts, Frank has been in the game for what, 25-30 years? Eddie has only been in it 2-3 years. IMO I think they are trying to get a war started, keep your friends close and all that. Hearn was giving Bunce **** earlier for something that happened on social zombiedia. Frank was laying into a column in the Guardian. We are gonna have some massive shocks! Carl Froch turning up at VVarren HQ, photographs taken of Hearn and Vince Cleverly feeding the ducks and holding hands. The battle will be won by who signs the MVP first.

Tyson Fury.

 

No surprise that Buncey made no mention of MV's antics the other week mate.

I wonder which forum "apologised":think

 

Or the other explanation is that Kev might not really have read the small print in the contract.

 

I would love to see definitive sources for those fighters, not rumour and innuendo. Not being paid on time isn't quite the same as not being paid at all.

I have no idea if the stories are true or false, and neither do you to be fair, thats why I've responded to your post in the way that I have. Its all conjecture, which is pretty much the definition of made up.

 

Here's one: http://m.guardian.co.uk/sport/2009/mar/16/joe-calzaghe-frank-******

From that article:

Joe Calzaghe has today won his legal dispute with his former manager Frank ******. Mr Justice Wyn Williams dismissed ******'s claim for £1m from the fighter and ruled at the High Court that he should instead pay Calzaghe around £2m in unpaid fees. The judge made it clear, however, that he had to treat both sides of the case with "caution".

After retiring as undefeated world super-middleweight champion this year, Calzaghe took on his former manager and promoter at the High Court. ****** brought in the heavyweight barrister Ronald Thwaites QC to argue that not only did he not owe the boxer but Calzaghe owed him £1m for breaking his contract over his last fight.

Calzaghe denied there was a verbal contract to continue boxing for ****** and counterclaimed that he was owed more than £2m in fees for his Bernard Hopkins win last year.​

Seems Frank is on legitimate record for failing to pay up.

 

And Calzaghe did the right thing by fighting for what was his. A rumour only becomes fact when a Mr Justice Williams type figure says that thats the case.

Reporting rumour as fact is exactly the type of thing that will get this place shut down
