    Joe Murray is going ape **** on twitter after he found out that way. Apparently F Wrren pulled the fight and didn't call Joe about it.
    He tweeted the following.

    "joe murray @JoeMurrayBoxer · 2h

    Frank is not promoting the show and he is not Joe's manager.

    I agree it's bad for Joe and ****** without doubt ultimately pulled the fight, but he has the right to do that if he has an exclusive promotional deal with Joe.

    Either Coldwell or Joe's manager should have made it clear to ****** it was going to be shown on Matchroom Pass when getting his consent for the fight to happen as that was always going to be a problem. What did the expect ****** to do when he found out it was on the launch of his rivals new PPV service?

    ****** gets enough deserved stick, but if I was Joe I'd be putting the blame elsewhere on this one. Someone was trying use him to pull a fast one and got caught out.

    I think the bull**** notion ****** is happy for his fighters to appear on Matchroom if it is the right deal for them has been truly exposed.

    Yeah, I don't get why both of them spout the line that they'd be happy to let their boxers go on each other's shows. Everyone would have a lot more respect for the pair of them if they just said, why would I invest in someone to then have them work on a rival network? It's obviously not ideal, but you can at least understand their logic.

    I doubt FW would have a problem if the fight was going to be on Caldwells free app which I believe that FW was told would be the case before Caldwell tried to move the goal posts and put it on the Matchroom pass.

    It's petty on both sides to a degree but the onous was on Dave as the promoter to enure all parties where full aware of the details.

    :lol:

    Try responding to my point rather than making an irrelevant insult.

    ****** has always pretended he has no issue putting his fighters on Matchroom cards if the opportunity was right. It's complete and utter bull****.

    joe murray in an 8 rounder is hardly going to get subscribers flocking to sign up for the fight pass

    When has Frank said he is happy for his boxers to fight on fight pass? Frank has always been happy for his fighters to box on SKY. The evidence is there. How can you say it's 'bull****' ? Frank's fighters have fought on Matchroom shows. End of story.

    Clearly this new fight pass platform changes the situation. Knowhere has Frank said fighters can box on both SKY and fight pass. Everything Frank said was before the launch of fight pass.

    Surely you are capable of understanding this.

    What possible reason would ****** have for not allowing his fighters to box on the Fight Pass?

    This I have to hear.
