    If Warren is the awesome matchmaker he so clearly thinks he is, then why did his number one cash-cow just get sparked in less than a minute by a fighter nobody's heard of?

    Poor Frank. His only source of revenue nowadays is sueing his former fighters and talking trash in The Sun.

    Maybe if he'd got them to sign actual written contracts instead of imaginary verbal ones, he wouldn't be so bitter. Dickhead.

    Yeah but the award is for Sports Personality of the year - not a ring belt. Meaning that it is a glorified popularity contest.
    Frank Warren is taking the credit for it based on the article.

    Yeah Frank talks about Joe being naive and then signs a 'verbal contract'

    Because he has no chin. I think FW did well to keep him undefeated this long. He did what he's been doing all along and got Khan an easy fight. Khan just doesn't have a chin.

    He also kept Hatton and Calzaghe unbeaten for a long time (even if Joe's last win was a big dodgy)

    Warren delayed the Kessler fight for years. He delayed Calzaghes carreer and now calzaghe is struggling with that fact. Frank warren was a snake a moneymachine I couldnt care less about him true or not true in this article.

    "At different times in his career, Showtime and Sky — especially after stinkers against Rick Thornberry and David Starrie (which weren’t his fault as they didn’t come to fight) — and more recently ITV, made a derisory offer for the Kessler fight."

    If they were looking to drop Joe because of the stinkers against Thornberry and Starrie then isn't that your fault Frank? seeing as you just admitted that they didn't come to fight? Meaning that TV companies drop fighters when it is sub-standard opponents your matched with.

    Bottomline is, they were both content on fighting in Europe.

    Warren just like provoking a debate off just like this one personally he's as bent and as crooked than a 10 bob note.

    Thats fair enough but all this sniping at fighers who have left you is utter bollocks was the same with hatton. If khan gets his career back on track and does do well and joins a rival organisation lets say goldenboy and getting the big fights possible he'll have a go at him.:good
