To be fair to Warren Brook turned down several big fights Warren offered him including a world title shot. Can't remember who it was going to be against. Brook was off the rails when he was with Warren and maybe only got with the programme a bit when he signed with Hearn. The last year or so with Warren was when Frank was without TV dates so Brook had a good reason for leaving but he had plenty chances previous to that and never took them.
To be fair that's Warren's side of the story. Brook's mob claim they were constantly offered false promises which led to them dumping him. Regardless, he was constantly accused of never stepping up (with Frank and Eddie), now he's lost at the highest level his handlers are being accused of overmatching him. Fighter and promoter (whoever it is) can't win either way.
