    I kinda hate to say it as he has made us miss so many big fights but Warren is easily the best promoter.

    Looks after his fighters and generally builds up good fan bases for his top fighters, always had/has a good stable and invests in both young fighters who show good potential and fighters who like a good scrap.

    Put's on good cards like no other promoter in the UK can with a mixture of Worldclass or close to it fighters and top talent with a few good domestic wars thrown in for good measure.

    So given that all the Promoters have the same depth of talent to work with, and arnt managing Fighters, who then soley as a Promoter, who then would be the Promoter.

    So, Warren is still tops according to our little poll.

    What does Warren specifically do better than the others to warrant your votes?:good

    warren has the best stable and is hi on the big shows list. maloney puts a lot of the lighter weight fighters on in good matches, but other than fury mcdermott, his heavys are wrapped in cottonwool, hattons team are running a close 3rd for me, they have shown some good fights involving local manchester fighters. hennessy takes the most risks with his top fighters they are matched a bit tougher on average, he needs the tv back though to move up my ratings.

    Dont like him but Warren is the man to be with from the viewpoint that he will get his fighters title shots earlier than others and generally easier title shots than anyone else.


    Also who voted for Fat Mick and for the love of god why?

    Warren is the biggest, but I think Maloney is the best due to the constrant stream of matches we get on sky from the man. When was the last time Warren put on small shows?

    I like Hennessey and don't know why he gets so much stick. Not many promoters have the same clout Warren has to get fighters on mainstream tv.

    Haven't seen a happen show so can't comment, but have heard good things. Solid matchups and plasma tv screens all over the arena. Sounds like a boxing promoter is finally taking a leaf out of the MMA book!

    The best promoter in Britain has to be Joe "sod this promoting business it's a pain in the arse" Calzaghe:lol:

    Seriously from a fighters point of view it has to be Warren. He get's big fights made, looks after his fighters and is the only British promoter that could be considered "big time". After Khan got knocked out by Prescott he managed to get him a fight with Barrera 2 fights later, and then after that a world title shot. He also got Mitchell a shot at Katsidis. He has his faults but he's probably the best of the bunch. From a fans point of view, Maloney has done some good shows recently but overall, probably still Frank.

    Warren by a country mile. I want to know who voted for Hennessy and Hayemaker :huh
    I like the look of Hatton, if he can grow and add to some of the stuff he already does he could become numbero uno.

    Warren until proven otherwise.

    he has the largest number of boxers on his books, has tv deals and has the best track record, both with making fighters money, keeping them winning and getting them into the world title picture.

    Barry Hearn is all class but Warren is still top dog.
