tony bellew ends contract

:good

 

Hatton must push for C5!

Dont think I'd subscribe to ESPN just for Hatton

 

Get's an undeserved World title shot in his back yard then leaves? I like Tony, but it sounds like he's being ungrateful.

 

BTW does anyone know what's going on with DeGale? Is he with Frank or what? Are they still arguing?

 

i agree, and he didn't even convincingly win, people act like it was robbery of some sorts, bellew got the biggest opportunity any fighter can receive, he was awarded a chance to fight for a version of the title against one of boxing biggest paper champ's and when the fights over he cries in front of the cameras claiming cleverly was the better man.

 

Well it's been clear he wants to leave, and Fwank's not interested in promoting him (obviously) so they should both move on. Matchroom will sign him up as soon as they can.

 

Good points mate. I'm a fan of Tony and I thought he looked good in his last fight but he's sounding a little ungrateful here.

 

Hopefully he can get to Matchroom. Would be good. They've shown they're willing to put fighters in with the best on occasion, and I think Tony would like to face the best ASAP.

 

Frank is a tit, he should just let Tony go.

 

Bellew doesn't owe Frank a thing. Frank gave him the Cleverley fight because he thought it would sell and be an easy title defence for Cleverley, plus both fighters being managed and promoted by him and fighting on his channel. It was low risk, high reward, he just underestimated the risk a bit.

 

:deal

 

I remember Bellew going into one about loyalty re khan leaving ****** at the 'end' of his contract and now he wants to break his midway through. Good luck with that. See you in 2013

 

What the help happened here?

How did the relationship break down? Purely over bellew wanting the cleverly rematch?

 

I got told at the weekend that Bellew had already signed for
Matchroom and that Selkirk would be following him.

 

I'm going to guess the likes of Bellew and Degale had it in their contract that they would fight a certain number of times a year and earning a minimum amount of £ per fight and that ****** hasn't honoured this so the fighters are deeming him in breach of contract and thus free agents. Could be a bit of a legal rangle as you know ****** will claim that he's offered them this, that and everything.

Box****** isn't putting up the capital to keep all happy i reckon.
