    The Harrison vs Rogan card has been cancelled due to tv scheduling, Warren has lost his biggest name in Calzaghe, and now hes 2 biggest name fighters left, Arthur and Khan are going to fight on another channel. Warren was pissed about Haye signing an exclusive deal with them. Theres no warren fights scheduled for Setanta.

    Could they have fallen out.

    TV scheduling was the 'official reason' - I've heard it was cancelled because of VERY poor ticket sales.

    yeh there was no way they were gonna sell 10,000 tickets. Harrison and Macceranelli are not that popular (macca outside wales)

    i reckon it could move to Belfast.

    Maccarinelli will never be that popular - people now know him for the fraud that he really is. A typical Sports Network WBO chump spoonfed a world title before being exposed :deal

    I wonder if Amir Khan will follow the same route - I would rather him win jack **** than make endless meaningless defences of a title which only very few actually recognise.

    Yeah Belfast or Cardiff would seem likely.

    I thought that the TV scheduling thing was bull**** because Setanta already had it in their schedule didn't they?

    FW always puts on mismatch and WBU/WBO title fights. No wonder every TV channel he's worked with had got fed up.

    The fact that Setanta have dared sign fights from other promoters may have upset our Frankie a little

    Why would Setanta want to deal with Warren now that Calzaghe's gone? Khan is with Itv and he's not going far, there's nothing in it for Setanta, Warren should stay with Itv.

    I can sort of understand Cardiff, but why Belfast?

    Sorry to break the bad news to you guys, & its bad news for me aswell.

    Looks like Warren cards are going to be on a PPV internet channel, which is Warrens of course.
    In other words, we will ony be able to access Warren bills on his own internet PPV channel...

    Dont quote me on it yet though. I have been fishing, & this is my only catch so far.

    I'll never give him money, not even to see Khan get beat.

    I dunno if it's cos of ticket sales. Macca was selling 5,000 tickets his early days. Its one of the reasons Warren looked after him cos he knew he could sell. Theres a fight on youtube against a bum and you'll hear the commentator talk about it.
