    Yeah? Oh well I stand corrected, just got the feeling emphasis was going to be on bringing his own crop through.

    He doesn't at the minute but there are more than enough boxers around the country to sign up, some of the best fights you'll see are on small hall shows hidden away. You take the top 2 from each of those shows and you would have a good stable, im not sold on every lad has to be world class loads of good fights at area/english/british level

    Neither do I but it you take the top 2 lads off each show you have a stable. I know the modern day "fan" demands world stars etc etc but plenty of entertainment British level. I don't propose they sign any Tom Dick and Harry but there are plenty of unsigned lads that the public will enjoy watching, depends if BT are in long term or short term

    I think the BT tie-in has probably finished poor old Punter off. I expect his melon exploded on hearing the excellent news that Boxnation has a secure future.

    Thought that guy posted that BT would get into Boxing and eventually take over the Boxnation content?

    He was anti Warden right enough and even more anti PPV. He did seem a bit obsessed about both but most of what he posted about Sky Box Office and Warden's Boxnation has proved to be accurate.

    This does look like the start of a process to me which Punter predicted but time will tell.

    Whatever happened to him as he was one of the regular posters on here?

    theyd make sense as undercard fighters, especially if they are up for competitive fights but you'd need some decent quality for the main event to sell the shows to viewers

    Yeah agree but if your getting lads 10/15-0 and there or there abouts with fan friendly style quickly build them

    Where the F is Fwank and sons gonna get enough talent to cover 30 shows in a year with the crew of unknowns he has now and has just signed???? Don't convince me that Warrington is a big national draw or even BJS who looks like he's ready for the funny farm!! If Fury comes back he will come back on his own terms and now could spoil the Warren prediction party by giving ITV a little call........

    Doesn't need Einstein to predict this time next year there will be more haters than lovers of the Warren slime trail.............pity really as I like him because he's so full of crap. Chris Eubanks is beyond help but at least he stands up to Warren and won't get mugged off by his bull.

    This are just my opinions of Warren and co but I do think BT must be mental to get in bed with him!!
