Frank Warren Appreciation Thread

Warren is legit

 

Franks the Guv'ner:yep

 

It was a good card. He'll be back to being slated in a week though. :roflatsch

:nut

 

Whoever said that fight fans were fickle...

 

A terrific card.Too bad we couldn't get it here in North America.:good

 

He is easily the best British promoter. If I am a boxer in Britain I would want to be promoted by Frank :yep

It's clearly boxnation but I think we've covered this before, Froch/Kessler wouldn't happen without ppv, it's up to you whether you purchase it.

 

BoxNation is brilliant, there's no disputing that for me. Frank is still a ***** though.

 

Fast Eddie and Sky should be embarrassed . If Sky were willing to invest some money into boxing to give boxing subscribers something worthwhile Froch Kessler could have been made without ppv . Bruno Lewis, Bruno McCall , Naz Robinson and various Eubank fights were made on Sky without ppv. Haye v Enzo and Calzaghe Kessler ( a fight in front of a bigger crowd with both fighters undefeated ) were on Setanta without ppv. Sky want to milk boxing fans at no risk to itself and Fast Eddie would like to do the same.

 

It doesn't seem to bring in big viewers for sky so they're loath to chuck big money at it.

 

Why would Eddie be embarrassed? He is a promoter, not a broadcaster.

 

You could also mention that the first few months of this year were completely **** poor from Boxnations point of view.

 

That original Magnificent 7 show was absolutely fantastic, by far the most worthwhile PPV I've ever bought.

Frank can definitely put on a great show when e wants to. I think it would be a shame if he lost all his fighters. Certainly Boxnation is proving to be worth the money even without the domestic stuff so if he can add a few more decent shows of his own, like the Cleverly bill looks to be, then it should thrive with boxing fans.

 

Anybody know the purses for Froch/Kessler?
