    Stop with this troll bollocks just because someone has a different opinion then you. I have no allegiance to any promoter especially Frank who like all promoters including Hearn helps to ruin the sport i love but unfortunately they're a neccessary evil as without them putting up their money there would be no boxing.

    Also tell me anything i've said in my above post regarding Frank being a lie?

    Maybe not outright lies but I will address the points made.

    Frank will win the purse bids and put on a great show.


    What recently has given you an indication this will happen? Frank hasn't put on a great show for a long long time, this is not me being a Frank hater I just feel its accurate. With Vassell being a free agent it shouldn't be too hard to win the purse bids.

    Frank is the best promoter to be with for any future star


    Degale didn't seem to think so, why was that? Groves left, why was that? Have a look at Frankie Gavin.

    i don't need to list all the great british boxers who were promoted by him over the years and guided properly to World titles and made them millionaires at the same time.

    Fail to mention the ones who go on to sue him. Why is that?

    Hopefully anybody but Frank wins this. Hearn or even Hayemaker would be good.

    Well Frank put on the two biggest show's last year with Haye-Chisora in June and Burns-Mitchell in September which was 7 months ago, your acting like the last big show he put on was 7 years ago!

    In hindsight i think Frank would tell you that signing James Degale was one of the biggest mistakes he made especially the massive signing on bonus he gave him. Degale just isn't a star that will connect with the British public
    and never will be which Hennessy is now finding out. Groves was never really a Frank fighter and has ping ponged between promoters and channels since Setanta.
    Frankie Gavin needs to step up his game, so far he hasn't looked world class so it's really up to him to make the changes regarding his ring performances rather then worry about who is promoting him!

    Well Frank has dealt with all the top British and world stars over the last 30 years, some have allegedly tried to kill him...some have sued him and some sing his praises so it's about par for any Boxing promoter to be honest.

    Surley DeGale not being a star and not being able to connect is the fault of bad promotion & managment?

    I think Degale was promoted very well...had a big domestic fight against Groves and became a near millionaire for fighting european level opposition. He was on the verge of a world title fight under Frank, what has he been doing for the last 18 months under Hessnessy, gone sidewards or even backwards!

    Is it Frank's fault that Degale came across as a ***** outside the ring and bored audiences with his pitty patty boxing inside it? Some boxers will never become stars even if PT Barnum was selling them.

    I never understand,franks logic when he says the two biggest shows of last year,okay fair enough Haye-Chisora,but Hattons comeback and Froch-Bute were as big if not bigger then Burns-Mitchell fight

    Fair enough, i would say Froch-Bute and probably Hatton comeback was bigger then Burns-Mitchell...still he still put on the biggest show of 2012 which was Haye-Chisora.

    Point is though that Burns-Mitchell only happened in September, some peeps around here act like it's been years since Frank put on a big show.

    So a promoter/manager has nothing to do with shaping a fighters personal profile?

    Mitchell and Burns was a good solid competitive fight on paper but as for biggest show, give over, without the aid of Boxrec tell me one other good fight on that card.


    How many other British Boxing promoters have been shot?

    1 show in 2013 is pathetic.

    Probably part of the reason he's not exactly thriving as a promoter at the minute.

    Well Mitchell-Burns was a big domestic fight regardless if the undercard was weak.

    Wasn't referring to no shooting which is just idle speculation but rather something else.
