Ricky Burns has left his "promoter"! And now Joined Matchroom!

I've lost all interest in Burns vs Broner.... it's never happening. I just hope Burns can get his career back on track cause he's a skilled little fighter and definitely top 3 at LW maybe even higher, I hope he gets hius chance to prove it. Now that Broner vs Burns is off the table I can go back to being a Ricky supporter again......(one of the first on the forum that openly supported him until a lot of the shittier Brit posters jumped on the bandwagon to slight broner). If Broners done at LW Burns is actually my fave int he division right now until Gamboa moves there.

 

In responce to the ridiculous notion that a boxer was a 'born ducker' whats your thoughts on Broner going up weight? Now that Ricky Burns looks likely to sign with Matchroom; a promoter which will allow him to fight Broner and actually get it on as a close as possibly fair terms Broner runs from the lightweight division in fear 'born ducker'! Now I don't actually know if that is true, but care to prove it wrong without the use of Twitter or pointless media call outs please.

 

Like I said in the Brit forum, expect to see two or three mediocre opponents for Burns next. We'll be extremely lucky if we see him with a Vasquez or a Abril before 2014. Burns from now on will be promoted well, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be in the best fights any time soon.

 

The Vasquez fight didn't even exist for him to be scared.

 

Sure.Talk a big stick after the horse has left the barn.Burns ducked Broner.The End.

 

He was mad about the fight being delayed, and now he leaves Vazquez and the unification fight for an even later date and TBA opponent? Come on!

 

Time and again fans get upset when boxers hide behind their promoters. It looks to me like Ricky is stepping out from his protector and getting more control over his career. I wish more fighters would do this.

 

:good

Hatton, Khan, Calzaghe and now Burns have all left Frank for the same reason. He doesn't want them to be in good fights, he wants to protect them and their records whilst selling out arenas. It's sad that Burns got stick for not fighting Broner, when anyone who has a clue knew who was really behind that fight not happening.

Frank is a joke and, thankfully, is likely to go out of business. The sooner the better.

 

Frank will see him in court and Burns never wanted the Broner fight. Burns vs Broner is not going to happen

 

Burns breaks free from his promoter who was stopping the fight and signs with one who isn't afraid of making big fights and Broner suddenly gets out of the division . . . .

 

Good move by Burns. It seems Hearn and Matchroom have real pull now and are a lot less shady than FW Promotions.

I would say the chances he fights Broner have increased exponentially, as it was FW, in my opinion, who was scared of Broner, not Rickster.

 

Interesting. :yep:yep
