Its easy to work out, Warren just buys the lunch! (and optional extras).
Could be, that's what I was wondering. With the WBO being a new and fairly unreputable organization years back, was it just a of win-win cashing in on the UK domestic scene? Calling someone a world champion is fairly self-fulfilling after all, when they already have a market.
