    WBO confirm Flanagan moving to 140lbs to fight for vacant title vs Hooker.

    This was after Flanagan tweeted a deal with a Lineras was a done deal.

    Strange move from them really. Can't imagine him against Hooker will bring in the same kind of money. Guess they'll push him as a double weight champion instead a la Ricky Burns

    Flanagans an idiot, lost nearly all respect for him (only bit of respect I have is the fact he puts the gloves on and climbs through them ropes). I'm one of Warrens biggest detractors but if the problem was Warren failing to get him the fights he would left Queensbury, not the division Imo.

    It's getting beyond a joke now, Warren just doesn't deliver for his fighters.

    Frampton has made a gigantic mistake if he thinks that Warren is going to deliver him a Windsor Park fight with LSC.

    When was the last time Warren had a big fight, Calzaghe vs Kessler?

    Look at twitter, Flanagan states that they had recieved an offer from Mikey Garcia but were not going with it because a Linares deal was nearly done. What a joke this is.

    Feel for Terry being stuck with frog eyes.

    yeah I know mate, but if it is Warren, why has he not left him. moving a division won't change much

    Sounds like Warren couldn't secure Linares, and that Terry doesn't fancy Mikey (I don't blame him).

    but it was "all but done" which to me says all the important negotiations are finalised, just putting the finishing touches together...wtf happened, that was like 2/3 days ago

    Any chance crolla or Campbell will fight for the vacant title?

    Warren just can't secure the big fights for his guys, his entire stable are on ice. I'm making a post about it as we speak.

    Maybe it wasn’t and Flanagan used it as an excuse to avoid Garcia?

    Why is it Hearn has delivered Lineras for his fighters with no problem at all.

    As I’ve said before Flanagan and warren wanted the cash out fight vs crolla as it was easy money rather than putting up the money themselves for a live opponent.

    very salient points, as I said I'm one of warrens biggest detractors but this seems really, really odd
