Anybody know how exactly did the frank vs Eddie feud start? Was it the sky platform? Frank Warren feels aggrieved and bitter that he's no longer got the monopoly. Not exactly sure the first instance of bad blood, probably filtered down when Eddie took over from Barry.
I wonder if Hearns is just a slimy *** and doesn't even like boxing!
It probably is just rival promoters competing against one another but would work together to make money or keep another promoter out of the equation. Frank does sound bitterer about it and accuses Eddie of things he has done in the past.
Frank isn't really bitter with Eddie he's always been bitter with every rival Brit promoter. His true rival was Barry (and sometime comrade) back in the day. Barry put boxing on the back burner but always had the connections, which allowed his son to rock up, add a modern spin (social media promotion) and blow old Frank out the water. However much anyone hates Eddie it can't be denied he (his team) changed the game?
Young Frank basically did the same to Duff and the cartel back in the day - took the best fighters and made innovative deals with Sky/ITV. He must secretly admire Eddie, whilst resenting his boys for not being able to perform like him.
I wonder if Frank has considered having Eddie shot.
