Warrens interview on boxing social is embarrassing. Considering he was the guy that got the board to change the rules on events clashing his ranting is laughable. If Warren had the right fight he wouldn't give a damn about a clash. His just not happy that his got the worse side of the deal. Frampton v Warrington was never going to do huge numbers regardless of the Whyte v Chisora fight. He knows this but its an easy excuse to blame it on Whyte v Chisora.
They have boosting the card all week. Ticket sales are good,bill is solid. It’s happening and on PPV.
I’ve just looked on Ticketmaster and there’s a ton of tickets left. If Warren wasn’t bankrupt before the fight he will be after.
Warrington v Frampton would do bigger numbers without the whyte fight, fact. Regardless of Frank's ramblings, it's the fighters who are losing out on the £. Eddie has made the Whyte fight simply to sabotage Warrington v frampton
I assumed it was sold out. If not, Warren has had a nightmare by not putting it in Leeds or Belfast, where it would've sold twice over.
But how much more? Its not like they are losing hundreds of thousands of buys due to Whyte v Chisora. Sabotage? The vast majority of people who were going to buy Frampton vs Warrington will still buy it. Whyte vs Chisora doesn't change that.
I think everyone blaming Hearn for the poor numbers for Warrington Frampton is just out of hatred for Matchroom. The reason this fight is not selling is because Frank has been getting worse and worse at promoting shows. The Warrington Frampton fight is easily the bigger fight however you can guarantee Whyte Chisora will sell out and the PPV buys will be bigger. Another way to look at it is if the fights were promoted the other way around then I reckon Warrington Frampton would do more buys as Hearn would promote it big time. If anybody is to blame for losing the boxers money then it's Frank Warren for not doing his job properly.
The only way that’ll happen is if Frank gives Hearn a call and asks him to get Stubhub to buy them all!
So what your saying to me is that if Warrington v Frampton was the only fight on 22nd Dec it would do the exact same ppv nos then if Whyte wasnt on. Non of the buyers for Whyte would of bought the Warrington fight. If you can't see that it's the fans and the fighters that are missing out here then i have to deduce your working for matchroom
