Warren losing several "co-main" level fighters lately

And the year before that Saunders and Warrington with Frampton retiring.

He needs Yarde and Dubois to produce something but pretty quick.

 

It looks like he is putting his eggs in the basket of main event stars or potential ones. Unfortunately he would have seeen with the casuals it's the main event that decides if they watch a show or not. In saying that I bet he wishes he had Catterall now. In fact he was promoted terrible by him and he has missed out on a big draw (as he will be now).

 

He did actually do quite a decent job with the Nurse, McKenna and Davies fights. Then after that the waiting round protecting a WBO position just killed him.

Mckenna and then Ohara in the space of 4 months, then Amador, Schwarzkopf and Houya in the space of nearly years.

All the poxy ranking protecting is so frustrating

 

True. As hardcore boxing fans we’d rather see a card full of British level 50-50’s than a big name headlining with mismatches right through the undercard but the casuals are just drawn in by the big names. That’s why the Fury undercard will be crap. No point wasting money on it when 99% of viewers don’t care about the undercard.

 

Based on his stable hes going to struggle to fill any decent content and cards soon. His cards are already weak as anything.

Its a strange one that other promoters are picking up Josh Kelly, Zak Chelli, Savannah Marshall, Chris Eubank Jr, Riakporhe, Florian Marku, Frazer Clarke and Caroline Dubois

Surely Frank could have picked a few of these up. Hes literally signed no one of note for 12-18 months. Makes you wonder if hes planning to wind down once his BT deal is up and just stay in with a few select fighters.

 

Does make sense but then he keeps signing youngster. That Aloys lad I think is on a 5 year deal

 

it does but he gets no eyes on them and the promotion is so old school. He needs to freshen things up and work out how to get eyes on these youngsters rather than just doing the Yarde route of 20 cab drivers and then become WBO mandatory.

 

Frank's happy to put a Dubois, Yarde on main event and back it up with a Nathan Heaney fight where his fans stay for most of the evening and he can pay him a lot less than he would a genuine co-main.

 

If the likes of Dennis McCann move over to Probellum then he’s in trouble.

 

I know, sad but true. Most of the best fights I ever watch are those for the Lonsdale Belt.

 

Will he be though. RE: Catterall.

His stock has definitely risen after the Taylor fight. And he did deserve to win.

Im not sure it will turn him in to a draw. He doesn’t have an exciting style of fighting and he’s never getting a rematch

 

I have been following professional boxing for so many years that I have learned that one should never underestimate or write off Frank Warren.

 

But he will get a world title shot next and will sell more tickets than before.

 

Honestly, you couldn't nail him down.

As much as Eddie was what British Boxing needed at the time, fair play to Frank for pulling off a fight of this magnitude. BT seems like a great move as well. Hopefully he's got a few million tucked away for when he stops.
