So 10 days after the press conference, we finally get the record set straight. "I've been copping some flak from ill-informed cyber warriors regarding the fall-out of the transatlantic heavyweight dust-up between Dereck Chisora and Deontay Wilder which we announced last week. So here are the FACTS. Wilder has publically acknowledged that he accepted the purse that we offered. His matchmakers Golden Boy asked a question if we could delay the announcement but a conference had already been set-up and several press notified, so the answer was no. It was only after the presser, it came to light that Wilder may not be able to fight." Thanks for letting us know Frank. *Tickets are still being advertised for Chisora v Wilder on franks website, wembley arena and eventim
That article was shocking praising Brits who won titles abroad then slating people who tried and failed not once mentioning any of his own failings. Pretty much admits no contracts were ever in place for wilder but they had called press conference so just announced it anyway. Tickets still fraudulently being sold advertising a fight that's not going to happen. Why is this man not being investigated? Disgrace to British boxing
I think he is acting increasingly unstable But for all his obvious failings I quite like the bloke,and I know it's not fashionable
It started a well written article and didn't slag off too many of his competition, but then if you're clued up a little bit and know that he forgot to mention the John Murray V Brandon Rios fight, Chisora V Klitschko etc then, it just looks daft and bitter, but makes me laugh how apparently us ingrates have an agenda, after all we all are misinformed cyber warriors
The deal was in place for the fight, so to announce it, even without contracts officialy signed, is alright, but to continue selling tickets for it after it's been confirmed that it's off is shocking. To be fair to Frank, he sends fighters abroad who aren't going to win world titles here. The Klitschkos aren't going to come over, Jennings wasn't going to be a world champion, neither was Lockett and Murray was coming off a defeat. Purdy is in a similar situation, but Barker and Rees could have got world title fights at home, Brook went through the eliminators and was still down to fight in America and the same will probably happen to Bellew if he gets past Chilemba.
Here is some advice for FW. I know you have been in the game a long time but perhaps when the other promotion are requesting that you delay a press conference its maybe a good idea to ask them why? On the off chance that the reason for the delay is that the fight ain't going to happen. Does that make sense or I'm I missing something. And something else I don't understand is the reluctance to cancel a press conference why the **** would you want to break from tradition?
Thread gets removed, Jonsey is always on hand to re-create it. Ever the savior this USA Rob! I always believed Frank was the savior of British Boxing, but I'm now starting to think this compulsive alt is actually the savior of British Boxing. Don't let them keep you down Jonsey lad, you go girl! Just keep creating new accounts whenever one gets taken down!
