the 14 April is meant to be Hooker vs Turbo and BJS on the same card for Frank. Looks the ideal card for Tyson to come back.
No Warren called that off as he knew going up against AJ was pointless. He didn't do it thinking of the fans lol Didn't say I was happy. I would rather have cards not clashing but I understand how it can happen.
Frank needs to pull him out the bag for this one if he’s going up against Hearn. I wonder if either or both will be PPV?
Looks to me that Degale v Truax 2 will be on this card. James Seems confident on Twitter that he has the rematch in the very near future and understandably I doubt Hearn will be prepared to pay for it. If this is the case then it’s definately going to be a PPV to cover the costs.
I would rather see Campbell Vs Mendy rematch instead of a typical mstchroom in House Fight because it will be cheap his done a terrible job with Campbell imo
100% right! As if Fish Eyes would give a toss if the shoe was on the other foot. Love watching him getting some of his own medicine back. Hearn really looks like he’s pushing to another level and Warren looks lost in trying to catch him. Well done Hearn for stepping your game up as it’s good for the fans.
Not wishing to be or appear to be a Hearn fan but Frank Warren has a long history of putting together one sided match ups ! Surely BT must be wondering what value is being added by screening his shows ?
So since the BT deal started in April frank has done some of the following- Smith - Williams 1&2 Degale - Truax (massive upset) Saunders - Lemieux/Monroe Frampton - Garcia Gervonta Davis - Walsh All very good fights and cards . The Frampton and Degale shows in particular drew massive numbers. Coming up so far he’s got the following lined up - Frampton - Donaire selby - Warrington The only poor match making so far on paper is the upcoming copperbox Card.
Smith Williams 1 was undercard to an underwhelming turbo vs Peter peter. Degale Truax had the same **** template undercard as most of Franks shows. Dubois v a bum, Yarde v a bum, Pigford v a bum, Sharpe v a bum. So did BJS vs Monroe. (Which was a terrible fight by the way) So did Davis - Walsh. So has the unwatchables. No doubt Selby Warrington will too. So I don’t know how you can say very good cards and fights?
If Hearn can out sell Tyson Fury (potentially), Flanagan, BJS, Degale on one card with Campbell and Crolla then Frank is more ****ed than we realised. He may as well turn it in. (I’m not saying he will outsell)
Didn't Mendy already turn down a rematch vs Campbell? I think they have a good job with Campbell since the Mendy loss. The Linares loss didn't hurt Campbell at all.
Hearn has done a great job so far and he is trying to push forward every time. He has announced a big announcement next week so wondering what that might be. Is he going to announce Brook v Khan finally for the summer or is it something even more surprising like he has signed Tyson Fury. Who knows, but at least he is trying to get the big fighters have big fights which is only going to be a positive for us boxing fans.
I was responding directly to another posters claim that franks only been putting on 1 sided fights which are no value to BT which is nonsense. By that list I was referring to the fights on paper, Regardless of how the fights turned out, surely your not trying to suggest that you where not interested in seeing fighters like Gervonta Davis Fighting Over here? Or that on paper Saunders v Monroe wasn’t likely to be a competitive fight especially after Billy previous poor performance? As for Degale - Truax and the card most panned it as going to be pathetic when it turned out the main event was dramatic, selby went 12 in a competitive fight,Yarde had a step up and Dubious had the expected Squash match which the public are expecting to see from a touted young heavy...that event draw massive numbers for BT and it was non PPV- only somebody unreasonable can knock that.
