Frank Warren new TV deal: 3 Saturday shows rumoured for September

The problem with Warren liking for filling undercards with prospects is that you are unlikely to get competitive matches.

 

Even those are debatable as being 50-50 fights. Clev's fight certainly wasn't 50-50 IMO.

 

Please be on terrestrial TV. Please.

 

press conf next week, its good news but not great news

 

please expand as far as you can if you know what i mean

 

Just please confirm it's not internet streaming.

 

It's going to be Primetime isn't it. If it is the details don't matter to me. I'm not paying PPV each month to see Friday Fight Night quality fights. I subscribe to Sky and ESPN as it is. There is a recession on you know.

 

i heard it was going to be on "Combat" ,a new combat channel being launched on sky next month .its being backed by cellcast group and will be on most formats

 

That would be great if they could get that fight in Scotland...:yep

I would be up for going to that show...:good

 

There's definately a new channel called 'Combat' launching. It's mainly MMA. Do you think they've got the finances to feature live boxing ?

 

i ****ing hope not , i dont wanna be just mixed in with mma

and on a channel called "combat" kill me now

 

If it's on a nice channel like this Comcast (or whatever) it would only worth taking the deal if FW gets a minimum of 30 dates in my mind, the lack of exposure would make it better to have 10 dates on Sky if it's any less then that.

Doubt it though they surely wouldn't pay enough money to pay the sought of licence fees that FW forked out for Rhodes and Barker-Macklin.

 

How much would they be charging for this new channel?

And it's not going to have the widest of audiences is it? Doesn't help build stars.

 

I agree about Cleverly's fight and reckon Smith-Quigley was 60/40 in Smith's favour.
