Is this the real reason the fight is off??????
Frank sues Calzaghe for �1m | The Sun |Sport|Boxing
FRANK WARREN has started a £1million legal battle against Joe Calzaghe after their bitter bust-up.
The Welsh legend, 35, decided to go it alone so he can maximise his earnings as his career winds down.
But promoter Warren claims Calzaghe owes him at least £1m for breach of contract and has lodged a writ with the High Court.
Frank is some pain.
Every time a fighter tries to make the best of it wthout him he sues them.
Hamed , Hatton now Calzaghe :rolleyes:
who next Kahn ?
Why cant Warren get a life

I dont think that will stand up, Warren does it because he knows a long court case will cost Joe a lot of time and money and hopes to bluff his way back into his career.

Boxing great Joe Calzaghe is facing a high court action from his former promoter Frank Warren.
The pair parted company in June, ending a 12-year partnership, and reports suggest Warren is taking the Welsh boxer to court over an alleged breach of contract.
The BBC claims the legal claim was lodged via Warren's Sports Network company, just three days after Calzaghe announced he would promote his next fight on his own.
Calzaghe had been due to fight against Roy Jones JR in New York in September, but the fight had to be postponed this week after the Welshman injured his right hand in training.
The super-middleweight and light-heavyweight champion will now have to wait till November to fight Jones, with the 8th suggested as a possible date for the bout.
Calzaghe, the BBC sports personality of the year, is unbeaten in his professional boxing career and after beating former champion Bernard Hopkins in April this year claimed he would fight once more before retiring.
Neither Calzaghe nor Warren have commented on the alleged legal action.

Promoters are just like gangsters.
Warren is scum. I think I prefer Don King to Warren. Both are corrupt hypocrites but at least Don is entertaining.
A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on. This is an even thinner legal case than the Ricky Hatton registered letter fiasco which Warren eventually dropped before it got to court. I hope Joe doesn't waste money on legal fees.
Warren hurt Joe's legacy more then anything...EG Manfredo type bouts....
Warren should just consider himself lucky that Joe C stayed with him as long as he did,,,
Warren made a ton of money off Calzaghe....Greed is rearing it's ugly head

I had a verbal contract with my ex girlfriend that she wouldn't take all my shit when she moved out but I saw how that turned out...:rolleyes:;D
Frank Warren is such a prick. He has made how much money off of Calzaghe throughout his career? And yet he wants to take him for as much as he can as long as he can. He is a very wealthy man and just wants to keep on taking.
I seriously dislike Frank Warren. Never liked the creep.

FUCK YOU WARREN YOU TWAT.
Maybe he's worried about losing all his fighters to Joe Calzaghes new promotional company. I would fucking love it if they all jumped ship and left him with fuck all.Quote:

Who is more valuable to a fighter like Enzo Macc - Enzo Calzaghe or Warren?
Warren can guarantee "easy" world title shots ;)
I was wondering whose side Al was going to be on.
The court action was 3 days after Joe had said he was going independent.
Exactly.Quote:

I am so glad he never promoted Lennox, Lennox chose Maloney over Warren.
That pissed Warren off, cause in a special Sky Sports show about Best British fighters ever, he kept on claiming that Lennox was Canadian. Yet If he promoted Lennox and was on that show, he would of called one of the best Brits ever.
Amir Khan should get out soon I reckon, then again Warren would sue him too.
He is a prick.
Sorry Marra but I couldnt help laugh at this.Quote:

Fwanks arse.
All of this could have been prevented if they did not ditch Warren over trying to make a Pavlik fight. I think its funny.
Anything that is causing Warren pain is ok with me.
I await Enzo's outrage-statement patiently ! :)
It's a very old joke. :)Quote:
