    Plus the other fights on the card. Will be atleast 8 prospects on there.

    Half if franks output in last six months have been at Telford or York hall on shows no one is watching.

    thise shows have included fights from Adeleye, Barney smith, chapman, ball, Hutchinson all prospects Frank surely wants to build.

    Agree with most but Hutchinson is no prospect

    Didn't he actually debut on one of Hayes C5 shows?

    Frank looks like he is using most of the guys you mentioned on his bigger shows where possible

    Not ideal as he don't do enough of those kind of shows

    Matchroom, Queensbury, Boxxer need to merge as all shows lacking depth in a small country where boxing is a minority sport.

    Have a round robin between Frank, Eddie and Ben with the winner taking over the rest.

    If not then they all need to work together as boxing in the UK falling away at the expense of UFC and Misfits etc

    I am holding them to high standards since a lot of people here were saying Frank Warren and BT are number 1 in the UK.

    Winner taking over the rest lol.

    Matchroom is a circa £600-700m business. The others dont have the cash to take over 10%

    What about if SKY are this mystery investor at Boxxer as you hint at?

    Changes that slightly

    oh it’s a *YORK HALL* show? OK watching mediocre prospects fiddle around the ring for 4 rounds against 100 loss journeymen at 9pm Saturday night is all right then

    It is unlikely as its not Sky's remit. Same as buying out other businesses they prefer staying in the content field but who knows

    Good fights, but these have absolutely no business being headline fights, neither did Heaney Flatley or Adeleye against whoever he fought in February.

    I don't understand that either.

    Frank Warren doesn't have much money to work with from BT Sport so it will be boxing events at a lower level.

    That's perfectly fine by me. I enjoy seeing new young boxers / prospects.

    Full card. Karol Itauma returns after a loss on the undercard. Is this a "Prospects" show or a standard Queensberry card ?

    It's a nice addition to my £7.99 subscription to a channel I watch MotoGP, Speedway, Premier League/Champions League Football, Premier League/European Rugby, World Rally Championship, World Superbikes, British Superbikes, World Tour Cycling and Moto America each month.

    It was a genuine question. Turns out it is a normal BT show.
