News just in! Frank Warren eats kittens alive!1!! Responsible for AIDS!!1!!1!!

Why does this annoy you so? Warren a close personal friend? Or are you just looking to protect us wee dumb people from ourselves?

There's always a ton of crap flung in boxing. Don't let it wind you up so much.

 

nah. warren is a very good at making his fighters money and getting them media attention, which i guess is what promoting is about.

doesn't stop him being a nob though

 

warren could have got a decent fighter is he pulled out the cheque book, he expectys us to pay £15 but he cant get a decent opponent. he had 6 other fights on this bill where opponents were not named until this week. if he had offered hide decent terms and a contract which did not include cancelling a law suit we could have had that fight.

i'm not! but i know what you mean.

Well when you combine it with Nicky Cook v Steve Foster, and then Nicky Cook v ? not going ahead after that and then Steve Bendall v Paul Smith II being called off for the second time, and then Anthony Small not defending his WBA Inter-Continental title over 12 rounds but fighting Steve Conway in an 8 rounder and the majority of the opponents only being announced a couple of days ago you could say that either makes Warren a crap promoter(from the people's point of view) or a very unlucky man.

However this isn't the first time that something like this has happened to a Warren card(in truth it happens much more than it doesn't). He's an effective promoter, and he's good at making money but from a strictly boxing point of view he's a terrible promoter.

One of his main problems now is his stable of top fighters is very small, so in order to attract people to buy tickets he has to put them all on the same bill togeher. Unfortunately half of these fighters then 'pull out'[cough] and only half of his top fighters actually fight. Usually against poorer opponents than it originally looked aswell.


I love it when someone makes a thread after a Warren card is announced 'wow look, such and such is fighting such and such, that's a great card' Well if it actually happened as advertised it might be, but this is the real World so it doesn't.

I think in the future whenever a Sports Network card is announced would should all try and guess which fights actually happen.

 

Doesn't Sugar Shane hold the WBA inter-galactic title at 154?

 

Plank WBO Warren - crap for boxing
