    I been a serious fan now for about two years and I've never grasped why people dislike him so much. I know people say he is bitter but so would I be if my best fighters left me as soon as they hit superstart status thanks to the fights that I provided them (hatton, joe cal, khan). From what I see he does the best he can for his fighters n makes them as much money as he can and delivers them good fights and let's face it without him british boxing would be worse off. What are peoples reasons for disliking him?

    I don't mind him, but just read his Sun column every Saturday as to why some people hate him - plus all the WBU shite he brought into the sport a few years ago :good

    People always mention that he builds the fighters and gets them fights like he does it out of charity. He earns a lot of money from them. You shouldn't feel sorry him when a fighter leaves him to go on his own after a long career with Frank. Frank has made plenty of money for them and from them.

    It is a common misconception that they owe him something after they leave. Why do they owe him anything when they have been paying for his services all along?

    He doesn't do himself any favours when he slaggs fighters off as soon as they leave him ala Hatton/Calzaghe.

    He certainly is good for British boxing and I respect his achievements. But he pisses me off with his sue anybody that slaggs him off approach.

    Eh were the British and the public don't like successful individuals,Well from personal experience the man's never been anything more than honest and concerned about his fighters with me ,maybe thats why hes one of the best promoters in the world today.

    Sports Network owes Joe Calzaghe £1.8m

    Does it look as though Warren is suffering for that?

    The fact that I can't write even 10% of what I would like to on here is one of the reasons why he's hated by a lot of people.

    One of the supposed leading men in the toughest sport in the world, he has the thinnest skin of anyone I've ever dealt with.

    Also, SN - the company he ran - owes Calzaghe a justified, iron clad, high court ordered amount and what happened? It folded and off he goes again.

    Thanks for your feedback guys yea I can see from his colum its a lot of veiled insults to the fighters he has issues with like haye and hatton but I'd rather read that then no boxing at all!

    He slags off EVERY current british world champion right now.... aswell as slagging off all the other big stars there have been in this country in the last ten years or so, like Lewis, Hatton and Calzaghe just because they were not, or are not signed with him.

    The WBU era wasn't cool either.

    He is petty how he treats boxers ho have left him, but as far as how he runs his business is concerned, he'd just doing what most other people would in his position.
