A football stadium definitely not. The o2 I’m scepticle but hopefully with the help of BT it will get the right promotion.
GGG v BJS in a football stadium would be ridiculous. Then again Warren mentioned how he wanted to do Degale v BJS @ Arsenal. His crazy!!
I admit that I can be quite sympathetic towards Frank when he is being unfairly criticized. However, when he needs to be slaughtered I don't hold back. I've hammered him on here recently for the lack of shows, and BS cancellation like the 02 card etc. It has been a pathetic beginning of the year for frank, he's lost almost all momentum from a successful 2017 and I'm guessing there must be a lot of his fighters who must be seriously pissed. Whilst Eddie and sky have had a storming start to the year, after a poor 2017 in terms of Saturday fight nights. As for GGG-Saunders in a football stadium, that's just a pipe dream. Its an O2 fight if it takes place, and it the type of fight that frank needs to prove he can deliver if he wants to be considered as a promoter capable of promoting major events. Selby -Warrington is a start but that holds little interest outside of the UK. Fury is a waste of time, the guy is a conman and a joke and I'm sill not convinced he will fight again. I think starting from the Frampton card things will start to pick up - there's obviously the world cup in the way. but if a number of shows are not announced over the next few months, the guy is finished...however history shows the old ******* is as resilient, stubborn and battle hardened as most of the fighters he has represented.
Dragon punch is balanced. He certainly does criticise Warren when it's due. Warren should be giving fury an ultimatum. No way should he be dancing to fury's tune. Eddie Hearn certainly wouldn't be doing so. He would make Fury an offer and then move on.
Agree with you apart from Selby Warrington. “Holds no interest outside the UK” needs to be corrected to “has no interest outside of Selbys family and the city of Leeds”.
Frank Warren desperately needs Tyson Fury. Fury is completely unreliable and I agree with comments that even doubt whether he's going to fight again. I'll believe it when I see him in the ring. But Warren knows an active Tyson Fury is potentially the key to control of the world heavyweight titles. Certainly a fit Fury with a couple of wins under his belt will loom large in the plans of AJ, Wilder or whoever holds the titles. Fury has never been a big draw on his own but he's the perfect opponent for Joshua-Wilder winner, in financial terms. A fit Fury can conceivably beat Joshua, at least that's a fairly common perception. Added to the fact that he's never been defated or dethroned in the ring, it gives whoever promotes him considerable leverage towards a big fight with Joshua. I'm sure Warren would rather Joshua just left Matchroom and signed with him. But that's not happening. Fury's his hope.
